New Star Wars Movie May Be Missing 2 Expected Mandalorian Characters

by

It appears that when Star Wars’ next movie arrives on screens in 2026, it won’t feature these two Mandalorian characters from the series. Following more than five years since its last cinematic outing, the galaxy far, far away will re-emerge on the big screen next May with the premiere of “The Mandalorian & Grogu“. This upcoming film will continue the tales and characters introduced in the popular Mandalorian series on Disney+, making its debut on the big screen for the first time. The movie will transform the Pedro Pascal streaming series into a multiplex experience.

As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to confirm that some crucial members of the creative team behind The Mandalorian are set to return for the upcoming blockbuster. This includes Din Djarin himself, Pedro Pascal, our lovable green companion Grogu, and the talented Jon Favreau at the helm.

However, it appears there might be a change in the usual lineup, if a recent video from two of our series regulars is any indication.

As a devoted movie critic, I recently caught wind of an intriguing tidbit from the set of “The Mandalorian & Grogu.” In a recent TikTok post by Star Wars Holocron X, actresses Katee Sackhoff (Bo Katan) and Emily Swallow (The Armorer) subtly hinted that we might not see their characters in the upcoming season. This news has left me pondering the potential direction the series could take and the impact it may have on the storyline.

The video features a dialogue between two Star Wars actors, switching between their on-screen personas and real selves, curious about the current activities of their respective characters in the MandoVerse, as there has been no progress on further appearances for these characters over the years.

Swallow expressed her feelings of being bored in a video, but she was disappointed when her character, Bo Katan, and Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin gathered all the Mandalorians in season 3 of The Mandalorian.

Hey there! Do you recall that gathering of Mandalorians you, Bo, and Din Djarin organized, culminating in an epic celebration? Since then, what’s transpired? Care to fill me in? I’m feeling rather bored these days. If by chance someone could share some updates, I’d appreciate it! It makes me wonder, might I be catching up with my friend Bo Katan currently? Any thoughts?

Sackhoff responded to the message, engaging in a conversational exchange with her character, inquiring, “What’s the current situation for Bo Katan and the Armorer?

I’m feeling quite bored today. Wish there was something exciting to do! Honestly, I believe there’s plenty to keep us busy. Don’t you have any suggestions? You know, like what’s your cat up to? Is it playing with a toy or even wearing your helmet? Yes, you might need some fresh ideas. Now, it seems Bo Katan and The Armorer are also quite bored. Any fun activities you can suggest for them? I’m a little worried about that cat. Perhaps we should come up with something to liven things up for everyone.

They paired all of this with a caption that simply said, “Save Bo and The Armorer.”

As a film enthusiast, I’m eagerly anticipating the new chapter of The Mandalorian, but it seems our beloved duo – Mando and Grogu – might be taking a break from this adventure for now. While there hasn’t been an official announcement, it looks like both stars are excited to explore what lies ahead for their characters in future stories. Here’s hoping we’ll catch up with them soon!

In the year 2026, on May 22, the movie featuring The Mandalorian and Grogu will be released in cinemas. Filming for the project has already been completed, with post-production currently underway. This upcoming installment in the MandoVerse (the first to grace the big screen) will chronicle the adventures of Pedro Pascal’s character Din Djarin and his adorable Force-wielding companion, Grogu, as they embark on a new bounty across the universe. In addition to Pascal, the film also stars Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White, fresh faces in this sci-fi adventure series.

Will Bo Katan and The Armorer Ever Come Back?

For over two years now, there’s been no sign or news about Bo Katan and The Armorer reappearing in the scene, with neither character set to make a comeback as of yet.

It’s worth noting that the future of “The Mandalorian” TV series on Disney+ seems uncertain, as there have been no announced plans for its continuation. If a “Mandalorian and Grogu” movie doesn’t materialize, it could signal the conclusion of the Mando characters and their world within the Star Wars universe.

In simpler terms, if Bo Katan and The Armorer don’t appear in “The Mandalorian & Grogu” and this sequel fails to meet Disney and Lucasfilm’s expectations, there’s a possibility that these actors might not reprise their Star Wars roles again.

As a movie enthusiast, I’d put my money on seeing these characters again in the main Mandalorian series or possibly even its spin-offs, such as the upcoming Season 2 of Ahsoka. However, it seems they have a higher probability of reappearing if they are part of the actual Mandalorian title itself.

In a somewhat unexpected turn, fans might find themselves feeling let down following The Mandalorian Season 3, given that both characters were prominently featured and even granted significant roles on the Mandalorian homeworld, Mandalore, with Bo Katan being chosen as its new leader.

It was widely believed that these characters from The Mandalorian series would continue to thrive for quite some time, but it looks like their future in the franchise might not extend as expected.
