Lucasfilm Scales Back MandoVerse as New Comic Reframes Han Solo Canon

The studio is reassessing its streaming slate based on recent performance metrics.

Overview

  • Industry reporting says no new MandoVerse projects are currently greenlit, with Ahsoka Season 2’s performance expected to guide decisions on any continuation.
  • According to insider Daniel Richtman, The Mandalorian & Grogu and Ahsoka Season 2 could mark the final entries of the interconnected Disney+ era pending evaluation.
  • Earlier reports indicated The Mandalorian Season 4 would not proceed despite scripts having been completed prior to the 2023 writers’ strike.
  • A newly released comic, Han Solo – Hunt for the Falcon, shows Han locating the Millennium Falcon on Jakku before The Force Awakens and opting not to reclaim it, reframing the film’s earlier implications without changing its events.
  • Coverage also points to a leadership shift later this year, with reports that Kathleen Kennedy will step aside and Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan will become co-presidents, as Lucasfilm refocuses on theatrical releases including The Mandalorian & Grogu dated May 22, 2025.
