The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda are coming back for a big screen adventure.
The two beloved characters from smash hit Star Wars series The Mandalorianwill appear in a feature film, which will be directed by filmmaker Jon Favreau.
Titled The Mandalorian & Grogu, the movie will go into production later this year, Disney-owned Lucasfilm said in a statement.
Pedro Pascal will reprise his character of Din Djarin aka The Mandalorian, the helmet-wearing bounty hunter, from the series, which was created by Favreau. The show's third season came out in May 2023.
In the show, the lone bounty hunter and his adorable alien companion Grogu, better known by fans as Baby Yoda, went on various adventures and missions, developing a bond akin to that of a father and son.
"I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created. The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting," Favreau said.
The Mandalorian & Grogu will be produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, and Ahsoka creator Dave Filoni.
