Giancarlo Esposito, who played Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian, has weighed in on the future of the Star Wars universe, and what he sees happening beyond the The Mandalorian and Grogu film, which is headed our way in 2026.

During a recent appearance at Dragon Con (via Culture Slate), Esposito relayed the vibe he is getting from the Star Wars creators, and what he sees happening with the characters in the TV shows:

“As in the MCU… Disney will figure out how to join all of these characters into one really great movie or TV show. That’s my sense of where it will go. Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau have a new vision, continuing on with a Mandalorian movie… My sense is that it’s all going to converge at one point or another and we’re going to have another set of… [a] trilogy, or more, of films.”

Esposito hasn’t been confirmed to return in the upcoming Mando and Grogu movie, since he was suspected to have died in season 3, though we wouldn’t be surprised if he did make a comeback.

Pedro Pascal is returning in the title role of bounty hunter Din Djarin, with Sigourney Weaver joining him in an undisclosed role, while showrunner Jon Favreau is directing from a script he wrote with Dave Filoni. 

The Mandalorian and Grogu is set to hit the big screen on May 22, 2026. Are you hoping to see the other Star Wars TV characters converge with Mando in future films?
