In an article posted by author Drew Taylor over at Collider, the subject of potentially having characters from The Mandalorian Disney+ live-action series appear throughout the grounds of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge was discussed. Taking things one step further, the idea of replacing Kylo Ren’s ship currently residing inside the park with a full-size replica of Mando’s primary ride the Razor Crest was also considered.
According to Disney historian (and my co-host for animation podcast Fine Tooning) Jim Hill, on the most recent episode of his Disney Dish podcast, characters from The Mandalorian may soon roam freely in Galaxy’s Edge. Hill states that The Mandalorian, The Child, and characters like Boba Fett and Bo Katan, could soon make appearances at Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu (a new chunk of Star Wars mythology invented by Lucasfilm and Walt Disney Imagineering specifically for the parks). He even suggests that Kylo Ren’s ship (a leftover design from Colin Trevorrow’s version of Episode IX) could be swapped out for a full-size version of the Razor Crest, the Mandalorian’s signature ship (that, spoilers, was destroyed midway through Season 2).
Taylor points out the gap in the official Star Wars timeline when it comes to having The Mandalorian represented at Galaxy’s Edge.
The Mandalorian takes place five years after the events of Return of the Jedi; the first “sequel trilogy” installment The Force Awakens takes place around 30 years after Return of the Jedi. So conceivably these characters could still be crisscrossing the galaxy at this time.
Stay tuned for more on this topic as/if needed.
