After Lucasfilm’s recent announcements at Star Wars Celebration, fans have been wondering if The Mandalorian is coming to an end. But what does executive producer Dave Filoni have to say about it?

Dave Filoni Comments On The Mandalorian’s Possible Conclusion

During an interview with IGN at Star Wars Celebration, Dave Filoni commented on whether his upcoming MandoVerse movie could be considered a finale of the hit Disney+ series. He noted that he does not know if he would call it that as such, stating that the New Republic time period has existed long before the show, and the idea of defending the Republic from the remnants of the Empire is a very old idea. Filoni’s movie will focus on the New Republic and close out the interconnected stories told across the various MandoVerse shows, while he orchestrates the escalating war between the Imperial Remnant and the fledgling New Republic.

The Mandalorian Is Here To Stay For Awhile

Fans of the show will be relieved to hear that there is no need to worry about The Mandalorian ending anytime soon. Season 4 is set to begin production in October of this year and is likely to drop on Disney+ next year or in early 2025. Although Filoni’s movie may feel like a finale of sorts, it will almost certainly bring to a head the threat of the remnant Empire and start leading more directly into the formation of the Sequel Trilogy’s First Order.

Future Of The Mandalorian

It’s worth noting that the MandoVerse movie does not yet have a release date, and by the time it debuts in theaters, there could be another half dozen seasons of various Star Wars shows on Disney+. Therefore, the world will continue to enjoy plenty more stories focused on Grogu and his beskar-clad dad in the years to come.
