[QUOTE="Admin, post: 69223, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2025/09/24/themandalorianandgrogu-blogroll-1758674421633.jpg[/IMG] [URL='https://www.ign.com/movies/star-wars-the-mandalorian-and-grogu']The Mandalorian and Grogu[/URL] will show a "changed" version of the Disney+ series' helmeted hero, director Jon Favreau has said, following three seasons of character growth. Din Djarin's big screen debut will pick up the character's story following the events of The Mandalorian's third season finale, which saw the bounty finally hang up his blaster for something of a quieter life looking after Baby Yoda, AKA Grogu. By this point, Djarin has established himself as a hero to more than the audience — he's caught the attention of the New Republic and is brushing shoulders with Star Wars Rebels' Zeb Orrelios. And it's this journey that viewers will see continue next year, Favreau teased. "The Mandalorian has changed his priorities," Favreau told [URL='https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/mandalorian-and-grogu-din-djarin-priorities-exclusive/']Empire[/URL].

"He’s such a compelling character, even if you’ve never seen Rebels, between the voice, the swagger, and the physical ability." The development of Djarin's mindset makes sense not just for character himself, but also for what Disney still has planned for this current era of New Republic storytelling, which will also continue on the smaller screen with a second season of Ahsoka.

Exactly when that might arrive, however, is unknown.
