Disney confirmed the arrival of a surprise The Mandalorian release in 2026 (and it's set to arrive sooner than Star Wars fans think). 2026 is a big year for The Mandalorian franchise due to the arrival of The Mandalorian and Grogu on the big screen last May, delivering a standalone adventure anchored by the core father-son dynamic of the titular characters. The Star Wars film delivered quite a decent performance at the box office, reinforcing the enduring popularity of the Disney+ characters. Even after the movie's theatrical run, the excitement around the Mandalorian universe remains strong, and Disney and LEGO are keeping the momentum going with a fresh new release next month. Disney officially released the D23 2026 schedule, confirming that a previously unannounced LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian animated special will receive an early screening at the event on August 15 at 10:00 a.m. at the Hyperion Stage. Attendees will enjoy the first look at this new animated adventure "filled with iconic characters, unexpected laughs, and action-packed fun:" Read full article on The Direct.
