‘The Mandalorian’s’ Giancarlo Esposito Reveals Disney’s Ambitious Plans for the Star Wars Franchise

As a seasoned Star Wars fan who’s been through the highs and lows of this epic saga since its inception, I must admit, the current state of the franchise has been a rollercoaster ride. The recent setbacks have left many fans, including myself, questioning the future of our beloved galaxy far, far away.


It’s clear that the Star Wars universe is currently facing significant challenges. The live-action series ‘The Acolyte’ has been criticized heavily, while ‘Star Wars Outlaws’ seems to be struggling to find its place, which casts doubt on the future of both films and television productions within this franchise.

It seems that Daisy Ridley’s standalone film is currently experiencing development issues and delays, while Taika Waititi’s Star Wars project has reportedly been scrapped. Moreover, there’s uncertainty about the future of ‘The Mandalorian’ as it pertains to the production of its fourth season.

Regardless of the present uncertainties, numerous projects are underway or scheduled for release within the next few months. Excitingly, ‘Skeleton Crew’ and the second season of ‘Ahsoka’ are among them. Furthermore, James Mangold’s Star Wars film is currently in production, but updates have been limited thus far.

A movie called “The Mandalorian and Grogu” is planned for release on May 22, 2026, causing a stir among enthusiasts as they ponder the fate of the franchise’s top-rated productions. In a panel at Dragon Con, Giancarlo Esposito, who portrays Moff Gideon in “The Mandalorian”, offered insight into what fans should anticipate from the upcoming series and the film.

In the style of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Disney is planning a way to merge these characters into an outstanding film or TV series, that’s my prediction. Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau are working on a new concept for a Mandalorian movie, which I believe will eventually tie into… a possible new trilogy, or even more films, down the line.

Discussions regarding the possible interaction between characters from ‘The Mandalorian’ and ‘Ahsoka’ have been going on for quite some time now, since their storylines share connections. This isn’t a new development; it’s something we’ve been talking about for at least a year.

As a fervent admirer, I share Giancarlo Esposito’s enthusiasm about the prospect of more tales being spun, particularly when it comes to the continuation of his character within the saga. I can’t wait to see him back in action as Moff Gideon!

I want to live! There was a f*cking clone. Make it true! So mote it be!
