Star Wars The Mandalorian Season 3 has come and gone, now we are all looking to the Ahsoka series. We might want to hold off a little longer on that though, as new rumors are suggesting that The Mandalorian Season 4 may become a movie. What could this mean for Pedro Pascal’s Disney Plus show? Star Wars seems like it may be going back to its film roots.
Disney Plus may want to shy away from TV shows for a short while. Thanks to studios still not wanting to negotiate in the ongoing writer’s strike. Disney is looking to shake some things up with its first TV series The Mandalorian.The Mandalorian Season 3 saw a lot of criticism from the fans.
Even after series star Pedro Pascal said he approves the changes to the show according to GameRant.com. A lot of the blame is on the behind-the-scenes workers. Dave Filoni took less of an active role for season three.
Now, there are rumors of changes that make Dave being unavailable look insignificant. New rumors are saying that The Mandalorian Season 4 is being completely reworked into a theatrical film. Whether this is because of the strike or the criticisms is unknown.
One of the main reasons seems to be the upcoming Dave Filoni Star Wars movie. That movie will tie all of the live-action Disney Plus shows together. The Lucasfilm higher-ups may want Mando Season 4 to be a movie so it can transition a little better.
Dave Filoni’s big climax movie seems like a solid idea for a crossover between shows. Ahsoka, Mando, and The Book Of Boba Fett have been rumored to be involved in this crossover. A smoother transition may be exactly what is needed.

Jaden Thompson It’s not every day a director works on a series with a built-in legion of multigenerational fans ready to binge each episode and dissect every scene. Deborah Chow, who helmed all six episodes of Disney+’s “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” experienced exactly that. The limited series, which Chow also executive produced, centers on the titular Jedi (Ewan McGregor) and former mentor to Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen) and is set between the two “Star Wars” trilogies.

Chances are you’ve seen a “Star Wars” movie. Still, even if you haven’t, you know such basics things like the tagline, “in a galaxy far, far away…” (which actually has four ellipsis points in it, despite the incorrect grammar), you’ll know who George Lucas is, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and probably Yoda.
These days, “Star Wars” hopefully works on two levels. There’s top-level engagement for broader fans that just like the Lucasfilm brand and what it stands for, and again, these days, there’s a deeper level of commitment for the more hardcore fans that know all the ins and outs of “Star Wars” beyond just the movies.

Manori Ravindran Executive Editor of International ITV’s winter edition of “Love Island” is going to look a little different next year. Variety understands that the British broadcaster is still going ahead with a winter show in 2024, but that instead of a new class of Islanders, ITV will invite back former contestants for an “all-stars” edition.

Star Wars movies.The director said in a new interview that he takes issue with “mass things being shoved on me” and knowing “so much about them and the characters” without ever actually having watched them.He told The Believer: “I have particular things I will never see. I will never see any ‘Star Wars’ films, because I resent that I know so much about them and the characters.“Why is all that in my head when I’ve never actually seen one, you know?

But I watch all kinds of stuff,” he said.
There are still a lot of questions surrounding the future of “Star Wars” on the big screen. Even though Lucasfilm announced a trio of new films earlier this year, it’s difficult to imagine a world where they all get made, especially given how the studio has developed and canceled films before production quite a lot.

Star Wars Ahsoka might be Dave Filoni’s best chance to make this change to Return Of The Jedi.

His recent words about the franchise come years after he spoke out about how Disney treats black characters in their projects.
