The Mandalorianis reportedly coming toStar Wars: Galaxy’s Edgein California and Florida. The hit Disney+ series has single-handedly revitalized theStar Warsfranchise, thanks to two wildly popular seasons. The sequel trilogy proved to be heavily divisive over the course of four years and many fans were beginning to wonder what was going to come next. When it was announced that Jon Favreau was teaming up with Dave Filoni for the first live-actionStar WarsTV series, there were not a lot of expectations from fans.
Now,The Mandalorianhas been hailed for being the type ofStar Warsstorytelling that a lot of fans had been looking for. Grogu, akaBaby Yoda, aka the Child, has turned into the new face of the franchise, so it makes sense that Disneyland and Walt Disney World are looking to updateStar Wars: Galaxy’s Edgefor the future. There have even been reports that the parks are looking to remove Kylo Ren’s ship in favor of a life-size Razor Crest, which unfortunately, did not surviveThe Mandalorianseason 2.
As of this writing, everything withinStar Wars: Galaxy’s Edgetakes place betweenThe Last JediandThe Rise of Skywalker, which means thatThe Mandaloriancharacters would be a bit out of place at the Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu. The events ofThe Force Awakenstake place roughly 30 years afterReturn of the Jedi, which is about 25 years after the events of the Disney+ series. For some fans, it could be weird to mix the timelines up like that, unless they reverse engineer things from a time traveling perspective, thanks to the World Between Worlds.
As for whether or not time travel through theWorld Between Worldswill be introduced inThe Mandalorianor shows likeAhsoka, that is unclear at the moment. However, that could be one way in which Disneyland and Disney World integrate Din Djarin and Grogu. In addition to Djarin and Grogu, it is believed that characters like Boba Fett and Bo Katan will be walking aroundStar Wars: Galaxy’s Edgetoo. Disney may decide to do away with the inclusive world that they created at their theme parks and just open it all up toStar Warscharacters of all eras without explanation, which would likely be just fine with a lot of fans.
As of this writing, Walt Disney World in Florida is open, along withStar Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.Disneylandin Anaheim California has been shut down for nearly an entire year and there are no signs of reopening any time soon, thanks to the public health crisis. Work is still being done on the Avengers Campus, which means that the theme park could possibly begin on integratingThe Mandalorian. TheStar Wars: Galaxy’s Edgenews was first reported bythe Disney Dish with Jim Hill Podcast.
