THE MANDALORIAN: Lucasfilm May Be Developing Season 4 As A Movie After All

We didn't put too much stock in the recent rumor that the fourth season of The Mandalorian was being developed for the big screen, but there may have been some truth to it after all...

It sounds like Din Djarin and Grogu's adventures may continue (conclude?) on the big screen after all.

A few months ago, a rumor did the rounds online that Lucasfilm was considering developing the fourth season of The Mandalorian as a movie. We didn't pay too much attention to it at the time, but it seems there may have been some truth to the report.

Despite initially dismissing the rumor, The Hot Mic's Jeff Sneider is now hearing that the next season of the Disney+ Star Wars series might be a feature after all.

Previous reports have indicated that the Rey-focused movie starring Daisy Ridley would be the next Star Wars film to hit theaters, but Sneider is under the impression that it'll actually be The Mandalorian.

“A couple of months ago I shot this one down, that there were rumours that season four of The Mandalorian could be turned into a movie," said Sneider. "I think at the time I didn’t think that was necessarily the case. However, that is now what I am starting to hear. That the odds are in that projects favour, whatever season four of The Mandalorian turns out to be, whoever is in it, what it turns out, whatever shape it takes, it is looking like that could be the next Star Wars movie and that might be the thing that’s announced before the end of the year.”

The Mandalorian has been a massive success for the Disney+ streaming service, and even though viewership has slipped since the first season, bringing the show to the big screen would be a somewhat surprising development.

Pedro Pascal would (presumably) return as the former bounty hunter of the title, despite a recent rumor claiming that he wouldn't actually be on set to film his scenes for the fourth season.

As you'll likely be aware if you're a fan of the series, Pascal's character wears a helmet for the majority of his screen-time. The Game of Thrones alum did unmask once in season 1, and twice in season 2, but kept his face covered for every season 3 episode.

During an interview with Variety earlier this year, Pascal admitted that season 3 was "mostly a voice-over gig" for him.

"[T]he show was presented to me as The Mandalorian, and all of its, like, visual identity. At that point, there was so much experience for everyone involved in terms of authoring this character that it was able to become mostly a voice-over gig for Season 3, for the most part.”

If this proves accurate, we'd say there's a pretty good chance we will see Mando's face in the movie!

What do you make of this rumor? Do you think it's a good idea to condense the fourth season of The Mandalorian into a two-hour film? Drop us a comment down below.

"After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic."

This franchise has reached straight to DVD quality and they really believe they can just come back to cinema's? I mean their last film was literally set in space! You can't get any lower than that, that's Jason X, Hellraiser: Bloodline, Leprechaun 4 bad. That's where franchises go to die, Lucas would be ashamed of Dave Baloni

@marvel72 - We should’ve had a Grogu break.

Bare minimum, gave the kid return in the penultimate episode. But really, could’ve kept him away from daddy Din for one season. Make us miss the b@stard.

Instead, Grogu felt so out of place this season. Other than his brief training with darts; he had no character development. …what development you could make for a baby.

If it's anything like that last season then it should be called The woMandalorian

@BobbyDrake - really? Really? So out of 100 years of cinema and 70 years of tv. 5-10 year displaying women saving men is such a big deal for you. Ignoring the 90-95 years of women being damsels in most forms of entertainment. Grow up.

The Baby Yoda craze has been over for about 2 years. The toys are headed to Big Lots. A Mandalorian movie won't even do Solo business. Maybe not even The Marvels business.

This show has overstayed its welcome, especially with that Book of Boba Fett takeover crap they pulled for one episode

Season one was absolutely phenomenal, season two was almost as good.. season three was a [frick]ing joke. Boba Fett was a meme, and for the love of God Ahsoka was almost the worst. Nothing is happening! They end up in the same place lol.

Again, I have posted this before: Marvel/Disney has promised to focus on quality as compared to quantity. Yet here we are with a possible film NOBODY wants. Mandalorian is best as an episodic series. You actually can tell more story that way whereas in film, you are limited to an hour and a half at best.
Freaking moronic.

@lazlodaytona - Every article, over and over again, "Nobody wants this," "who asked for this?" and on and on. Nobody asks for any movie except the producers and directors that are making it. Nobody asked for ET, Citizen Kane, Independence Day, or Star Wars. I understand that it sounds less petulant than the truth, which is "I don't want this."

@ClintThaHamster - Yeah, in the name of Uncle Vinney, your argument is total B.S.

If they announced this after the first or second season I would have been excited but after a mediocre season 3 and a dull boring Ahsoka has kinda killed that excitement. Still hoping for the best but definitely prepared for the worst.

do it. if its so [frick]ing popular. lets see how much money it will make.

They should let it end at Season 3. No movie is needed.

I didn't dislike the last season as much as some did, but it's shortcomings is showing.

Season 3 of Mando, Obi Wan, and Ahsoka have made me totally apathetic to Star Wars television.

@regularmovieguy - dude it's so depressing man. This IP used to be GOLD. It was like the cinematic representation of euphoria. Just such a bummer. I hope DC gets it going because I feel quite similarly about the MCU and so now I don't know where to turn for my fantasy itch.

I hope not…

I feel that since it started on the small screen then it should properly conclude there too (while you could then have those characters in Filoni’s movie).



I thought S3 was the weakest one so far but still decent imo so hopefully whatever form these characters show up in next , it’s a step up.
BassMan
BassMan - 12/9/2023, 3:31 PM
I’ve enjoyed the whole series, S3 wasn’t as good as the first two but it was still very solid IMO. Not sure if I’d prefer a movie or another season, Mando and Grogu seemed to have a nice ending. Him getting pulled back in to help with the war is fine, but there’s gotta be a good story.

S3 was terrible. SW is at a point where they actually screw up things they did that were good. Ashoka ruins Rebels unless you pretend it doesnt exist. They somehow managed to get all the Ghost crew members wrong, and make Ahoka lifeless in one season. Thats really hard to do.

Obi-wan should have been something so good, you would re-watch it forever. Book of Boba Fett lol. ok.

I havent rewatched one single SW TV show or the sequel movies. I've rewatched the prequels and especially the OT about a billion times. Remember when certain movies were built for home theaters? I've owned SW on every VHS, Laserdisk, DVD and Blue Ray format.

...and somehow, they screwed this up.

@AvalonX - do you have the 04/06 DVD release where George finally allowed the original theatrical editions to be released on disc......in anamorphic format? I feel like those may hold value as time goes on cuz I don't think we ever get a modern theatrical release. I think George had a clause in the sale to ensure the special editions were all future releases.
AvalonX
AvalonX - 12/10/2023, 11:05 PM
@McMurdo - I have the originals in that format ...on VHS lol
