The Mandalorian has been a major hit for Disney+, so the fact that corner of the Star Wars Universe is set to expand is no great surprise. However, it looks like Lucasfilm plans to take things in a slightly different direction to the one we may have expected...especially after months of rumours!
For starters, we're getting something called Rangers of the New Republic, and based on the title, it's safe to assume that it will focus on some of the heroic former Rebels we've seen in The Mandalorian (and possibly Cara Dune now that she's once again aligned with them).
Most exciting, however, is the news that we're getting a live-action Ahsoka Tano series starring Rosario Dawson. Titled simply Ahsoka, both these shows are being developed by Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni.
That means they're in safe hands, and the first of them is heading our way next Christmas. It also sounds like these will build to some sort of event, likely tying into what we've seen in The Mandalorian. Hopefully, we'll have some more details to share with you soon, but this is undeniably exciting!
