A year beforeThe Mandalorian & Grogupremieres in theaters, Disney is already preparing for the nextStar Warsmovie. Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu debuted in the hit showThe Mandalorianon Disney+ and have not yet had the opportunity to appear on the silver screen. After a three-season run on Disney+, however, the pair will continue their story on August 08, 2025, in a movie that will see them continue their fight to revitalize the Mandalorian culture.The Mandalorian & Grogumoviehas had a major presence atStar Wars Celebrationthis year, andScreenRantis in attendance.
As Disney prepares for the marketing efforts, it will alsotie the movie into its theme parks. TheMillennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Runattraction inStar Wars: Galaxy’s Edgewill be featuring a new story as of July 30, 2025, which is the same day that the movie will be released. The mission will seeDin and Grogu hunting Imperial remnants, collecting cargo to earn credits, and visiting Coruscant. The Imagineers wanted anAttack of the Clonesatmosphere, featuring Din flying through traffic, as he faces off against Imperials hiding in the lower levels of Coruscant.
The Empire Is Back On The Galactic Capital
Imperial Forces Are Targeting Coruscant
The newMandalorian-inspiredGalaxy’s Edgemissionis not the first time that an Imperial presence on Coruscant has been hinted at.The Mandalorianseason 3 introduced Imperial spy Elia Kane, who joined the New Republic Amnesty Program, only to serve as a secret agent for Moff Gideon. The program was intended to help reeducate Imperial troopers and officers, but Kane is using it as a tool to gather information. As the program is housed on Coruscant, there remains significant evidence that other spies could be stationed throughout the planet.
This storyline will debut at the Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts.
It is only natural that Din and Grogu would come across other Imperial troops on a mission across Coruscant, but this mission will be a risky one. The Mandalorians will be facing off against Imperials who arespecifically hiding in the lower levels of Coruscant, after outlaw Hondo Ohnaka directs that they use the conveniently parked Falcon. Hondo believes that he is recruiting a“random Mandalorian guy” to lead the mission, only to find that Din is perfectly capable of stopping the large collection of Imperial sympathizers along the way.
Our Take On The Empire’s Return
This Provides More Context About The New Republic
While it will likely be included simply as a tie-in toThe Mandalorian & Grogu, this new mission could also explain more about the New Republic. After all,the New Republic chose to place its capital on Chandrila, rather than relying on Coruscant, which had been home to the Old Republic and the Empire. The Republic has since rotated its capital, depending on routine votes, but this storyline could explain why they elected to avoid Coruscant in the first place. TheStar Warsuniverse has an explanation for everything, and this secret could very well be hidden inSmuggler’s Run.
