The Mandalorian and Grogu grossed only $345.2 million at the global box office, making The Mandalorian follow-up the lowest-grossing Star Wars movie to date, despite mostly positive reviews from fans and critics.
If you skipped Din Djarin and The Child's latest adventure in theaters, we have some good news for you today: Lucasfilm has announced when the blockbuster will be available to watch at home for free (well, assuming you're already a Disney+ subscriber).
As we first reported on SFFGazette.com, The Mandalorian and Grogu officially premieres on Disney+ on September 2, a little over a week after it's released on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray.
This may say a lot about how Disney views physical media, as a one-week window suggests those copies are primarily available for collectors, not the masses who will likely tune in on streaming.
Lucasfilm has also announced the Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu Official Podcast, a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie, which will go live on Disney+ September 2 at 6 pm PT with two episodes (Episode 1: "Growing Up," and Episode 2: "Bigger & Different").
The two-episode series is designed to take Star Wars' biggest and newest fans behind the scenes of The Mandalorian and Grogu, in conjunction with the film's release on Disney+.
Shot on the movie's Adelphi Base Bar set, guests include director/co-writer/producer Jon Favreau, Lucasfilm President and CCO Dave Filoni, who also co-wrote and produced the film, Academy Award-winning composer Ludwig Göransson, and the on-screen stars of the film, Pedro Pascal and Sigourney Weaver.
Even Grogu himself swings by to inject a heavy dose of cuteness into the series as the creative team discusses the ingredients that made this film so special, as both a fresh chapter in Star Wars' remarkable history and an exciting new page in the Mandalorian and Grogu's own stories.
Video episodes of the podcast will live on Disney+ and YouTube, while audio-only episodes will be available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pandora, Amazon Music, SiriusXM, iHeartRadio, and TuneIn.
In The Mandalorian and Grogu, the evil Empire has fallen, and Imperial warlords remain scattered throughout the galaxy. As the fledgling New Republic works to protect everything the Rebellion fought for, they have enlisted the help of legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his young apprentice Grogu.
Directed by Jon Favreau, the movie also stars Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White. It's produced by Jon Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni, and Ian Bryce, with music composed by Ludwig Göransson.
"The Mandalorian and Grogu is a fun, pulpy reminder that Star Wars doesn’t need to grow up; it just needs to be entertaining," we said in our review this past May. "Jon Favreau's action-packed love letter delivers exactly the crowd-pleasing adventure fans have been craving."
The Mandalorian and Grogu is now available on Digital platforms, including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango. The movie arrives on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray on August 25.
