‘Star Wars’ Officially Remaking Disney+ Series Instead of Moving Forward With New Season

When The Mandalorian launched in 2019, it seemed that live-action Star Wars television was the future of the franchise, especially given how divisive the sequel trilogy’s The Last Jedi (2017) and The Rise of Skywalker (2019) had been. But subsequent Disney+ projects proved otherwise.

The Decline of Disney+ Star Wars

Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022), Ahsoka (2023), and The Acolyte (2024) all received mixed reviews, while ultimately failing to capture the magic Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu brought to the faraway galaxy. Even The Mandalorian Season 3 suffered from a divisive reception from fans.

Now, The Mandalorian, the series that launched this side of the franchise, has culminated in an underperforming Star Wars film with The Mandalorian & Grogu (2025).

Over Memorial Day weekend, the film opened to $98.1 million, which marked the lowest opening for the franchise since Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018), which only grossed $170 million over the same four-day weekend.

So far, The Mandalorian & Grogu has made $315.1 worldwide against its $165 million budget.

The Disney+ Star Wars Show That Started the Downfall

Going back to Disney+, while Andor (2022) and Skeleton Crew (2024) are among the most critically successful, but they still failed to restore faith in the streaming side of Star Wars.

With all that said, there’s one show we haven’t mentioned, yet it’s the one that got the ball rolling on all the divisive live-action Star Wars content that followed: The Book of Boba Fett (2021).

Temuera Morrison, who played all the clones throughout the Star Wars prequel trilogy, including Jango Fett, brought Boba Fett back to life for the highly anticipated spinoff series, which follows the titular bounty hunter as he becomes the new crime lord of Jabba the Hutt’s former territory on Tatooine. Fans were beside themselves with excitement to finally see Boba — one of the franchise’s most iconic characters who first appeared in the original trilogy — come back to life after his supposed death in a sarlacc pit, as seen in Return of the Jedi (1983).

But the series received mixed reviews due to its storytelling decisions and depiction of the title character, and, more notably, the choice to focus on Din Djarin for a substantial part of the story.

Will There Be a Second Season?

Now, there are no plans for a second season. Earlier this year, Morrison also revealed that he had not been contacted about returning to the franchise and that Lucasfilm has effectively placed Boba Fett on hold. The character didn’t even appear in The Mandalorian & Grogu, much to fans’ disappointment. However, Boba Fett will return in a brand-new series tied to the Disney+ show.

Marvel Comics has announced that it will be releasing a seven-part comic series adaptation titled The Book of Boba Fett.

But while there’s already a long history of Boba Fett comics, each issue in the upcoming series will correspond with an episode from Disney+ show, which makes the comic a retelling of The Book of Boba Fett rather than an actual continuation.

Issue #1 is scheduled to be released on September 9, 2026, with the remaining six issues expected to follow throughout the rest of 2026 and into 2027.
