Star Wars actor Giancarlo Esposito teases a "trilogy, or more" of Mandalorian movies (www.gamesradar.com)

The Mandalorian star Giancarlo Esposito has revealed that he thinks The Mandalorian & Grogu movie could just be the beginning of a new Star Wars trilogy.

"As in the MCU… Disney will figure out how to join all of these characters into one really great movie or TV show. That’s my sense of where it will go," Esposito said during an appearance at Dragon Con (via Culture Slate). "Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau have a new vision, continuing on with a Mandalorian movie… My sense is that it’s all going to converge at one point or another and we’re going to have another set of… [a] trilogy, or more, of films."

Esposito plays Moff Gideon in the Disney Plus series, but he hasn't been confirmed to return in the upcoming movie yet, since he died in season 3 (though, a surprise return can never be ruled out). Pedro Pascal is returning as titular bounty hunter Din Djarin on the big screen, though, with Sigourney Weaver joining him in an undisclosed role, while showrunner Favreau is in the director's chair.

"Maybe if we beat it harder, more money will fall out!"

~Disney execs probably

My worry is Favreau has shown that he doesn't only crap gold here - The Book of Boba Fett was bad and even The Mandalorian has fallen from its high point when it was simply Star Wars Lone Wolf & Cub. Going big as the movies demand, will see this diluted further. I'll, obviously, watch it but Lucasfilm pretty much betting the farm on this and the Rey film (where Donald Glover's Mando interests me more or something... different. Horror maybe) could turn out killing the goose that lays the golden egg.

I'll, obviously, watch it but...

That's all they care about.

I don’t get this opinion. Season 1 was good, but slow and mostly an episodic show. Season 2 was much better and moved the story along. Then season 3 was fuckin’ great. I love Mandalorians!

I’m stoked! Pew pew!

I love Giancarlo Eaposito’s acting but it’s my recollection that he often says stuff like this in interviews as a “it would be cool” kind of thing which then gets spun as “inside information.”

Why are they doing this instead of more seasons?
