Lucasfilm Moves to End 'MandoVerse' After Disappointing Star Wars Film
Disney's Lucasfilm is reconsidering the future of its interconnected "MandoVerse" after the theatrical release of *The Mandalorian & Grogu* (2026) earned roughly $340 million worldwide, the lowest‑grossing Star Wars movie ever. The poor performance has led reports that the planned crossover movie that would have united storylines from the franchise may be scrapped or re‑imagined as a limited series.
At the same time, Lucasfilm is launching a new Star Wars television banner, "Visions Presents," beginning with the series *The Ninth Jedi* scheduled for August 5. The move follows a slowdown in new MandoVerse releases, with the last show *Skeleton Crew* and the next *Ahsoka* season not due until 2027, signaling a shift in Disney+’s Star Wars strategy.
