Tickets for The Mandalorian and Grogu went on sale this week, and normally this would be a cause for celebration, but I really feel like their should have been more of a tie in between Star Wars Day on May the 4th and the upcoming 2026 movie release. Let’s talk it out.
So, tickets went on sale for the first Star Wars big screen venture we’ve gotten since The Rise Of Skywalker came out seven years ago. We’ve been through a bunch of announced and later cut movies, not the least of which was the project GOT creators Benioff and Weiss quit, but also the scrapped project Steven Soderbergh has recently been open about. It’s a big deal! There’s an upcoming Star Wars movie in the pipeline! How is Jon Favreau’s new Mando movie not tying it into the famous day with these tickets?
