The Mandalorian is a Star Wars story centred on Din Djarin, a masked bounty hunter from a warrior culture, and Grogu, a young, Force-sensitive child. Their relationship became widely known through the Disney+ series, which began in 2019 and takes place after the fall of the Empire.
Star Wars is a long-running science-fiction franchise set in a fictional galaxy, involving rival political and military powers as well as people who can use the Force, an energy field with mystical qualities. Disney owns Lucasfilm, the company behind Star Wars, and has expanded the franchise through cinema releases and streaming programmes.
The film continues the story after the television series’ first three seasons. Its move from cinemas and digital rental or purchase services to Disney+ follows the common pattern for major studio films, while also linking the franchise’s streaming audience with its theatrical releases.
