We're now just a few months away from The Mandalorian and Grogu – the first brand new, theatrically released Star Wars movie in seven years. But following a costly flop in Solo: A Star Wars Story and ballooning costs, a new report suggests that the Mando movie may have the lowest budget of any Disney-era Star Wars movie to date.
As noticed by Collider, California Film Commission figures have revealed that The Mandalorian and Grogu's production budget is a thrifty – though still hardly cheap – $166.4 million, after a $21.75 million tax credit is taken into consideration. But even without that IRS discount, the figure is still well below the $200 million that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story reportedly cost. The sequel trilogy, by comparison, is thought to have cost eye-watering sums – $245 million, $317 million and $275 million, respectively – to make.
