MSW is saying that Mando Season 4 might get turned into a theatrical movie, to be directed by Dave Filoni, as a lead-up to the “mandoverse crossover” movie that he’s already been announced for. According to MSW, if this new plan gets greenlit, the new movie slate will be Rey movie -> Mando movie -> Thrawn movie -> Jedi origin movie. He also says parts of Ahsoka season 2 might also get moved into this new potential movie. Make of that what you will.
If this is actually true and does come to fruition, I hope this means they’re learning from the failure of Book of Bobba Fett and Kenobi, and the mild disappointment of Mandalorian Season 3. If you don’t have the plot for a 6-8 episode series, don’t make a 6-8 episode tv show. If you only have enough plot for 2-3 hours don’t make it a show make it a movie. Streaming shows have been suffering from this for a long time. Things are never the length they need for the story, the runtime is always heavily inflated to keep people on the streaming site for longer and this has killed so many shows that would’ve been great if they were either a movie or 2-3 episodes shorter.
