Back in 2023, Lucasfilm announced Dave Filoni's film, which was intended to unite and conclude the storylines of "The Mandalorian," "Ahsoka," and other stories about the confrontation between the New Republic and the remnants of the Empire. Now, plans may have changed. According to insider Daniel Richtman, the studio is considering turning the feature-length crossover into a Disney+ mini-series, also including characters from "Skeleton Crew."
The possible format change comes amidst the weak box office performance of "The Mandalorian and Grogu." The first feature film in the franchise in seven years grossed around $345 million worldwide and showed the worst result among live-action "Star Wars" films. Disney management subsequently admitted that the box office did not meet the company's expectations, although the film did boost sales of franchise merchandise.
The supposed crossover does not yet have a release date, but it certainly won't be out anytime soon. Din Djarin and Grogu have already had their story continued in the feature-length "The Mandalorian and Grogu," so now Lucasfilm will at least have to conclude the next stage of the confrontation with Grand Admiral Thrawn in the second season of "Ahsoka," which is expected in 2027.
The fate of "Skeleton Crew" remains uncertain. Kerry Condon, who played Farah, previously said she had heard about the possibility of a second season, but Lucasfilm has not yet announced it. If Richtman's information is confirmed, the series' characters could return as part of a general crossover.
