September Will Be A Very Good Month For The Mandalorian Fans

Buckle up, The Mandalorian fans; September is set to be a good month. Even despite a bumpy third season, The Mandalorian is widely regarded as one of the best Star Wars TV shows and has been almost single-handedly responsible for the franchise's focus on Disney+ since 2019. While a fresh slate of upcoming Star Wars movies is looking to return the franchise to its cinematic roots, The Mandalorian's legacy will continue.

After all, it was The Mandalorian and Grogu that became the first Star Wars movie to be released in theaters since 2019. Evidently, the success of the Disney+ show is not lost on Lucasfilm, with that set to continue further into 2026. The Mandalorian and Grogu hit theaters in May of that year, but September is shaping up to be an even bigger month for the Star Wars sub-franchise. For anyone who is even remotely a fan of The Mandalorian, you had better pay attention over the next month.

The Mandalorian's September 2026 Releases Explained

In September 2026, two big Mandalorian releases are coming. Firstly, there is the Disney+ release of The Mandalorian and Grogu. On September 2, the movie will be available for all to watch at home with a Disney+ subscription. This comes off the back of a somewhat disappointing box office run for The Mandalorian and Grogu, which capped out at just over $340 million worldwide. However, with Disney+, Lucasfilm will undoubtedly be seeking a positive recent trend.

2026 has seen several movies disappoint at the box office, only to become streaming hits. Movies like Mortal Kombat II and Masters of the Universe, which similarly failed to meet studio expectations, have held consistent number one spots on their respective streaming platforms. Supergirl is another 2026 movie that failed at the box office but later found success on streaming services, with Lucasfilm undoubtedly hoping that The Mandalorian and Grogu will follow suit on September 2.

Beyond that, September 2 has another big Mandalorian release on the cards for fans of the franchise. As announced at D23 2026 a month prior, September 2 will feature the release of LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian. LEGO has been a big ally of most major franchises over the decades, with Star Wars being no different. The special, which takes The Mandalorian's core characters and tells a fun, action-packed new adventure, will be the sixth LEGO Star Wars project to be made for Disney+.

The Mandalorian Is Still A Big Part Of Star Wars' Future

If these two releases in September 2026 did not make it obvious, The Mandalorian remains a big part of the Star Wars franchise going forward. Ahsoka season 2 is set for release in January 2027, which would not exist without The Mandalorian; Ahsoka was brought into live-action Star Wars via The Mandalorian season 2, thus enabling characters like Thrawn, Hera, and Ezra to follow suit. Beyond that, Ahsoka season 2 is likely to build towards Dave Filoni's planned Star Wars movie, which would feature characters from The Mandalorian.

Looking more intently at the show itself, Jon Favreau has already indicated that The Mandalorian season 4 has been written. Despite his focus on The Mandalorian and Grogu, it is clear from this that he still has more stories planned for Din Djarin and his apprentice. With Star Wars Celebration 2027 on the horizon, it would not be surprising to see plenty more stories that either directly continue from or are heavily linked to The Mandalorian, proving how big a future the sub-franchise has in Star Wars after September 2026.
