2026 has been a year full of ups and downs for Star Wars fans, who were treated to one of the highest-rated projects in franchise history : Maul — Shadow Lord , the Disney+ series starring Sam Witwer . Disney picked up the show for Season 2 before a single episode aired, and it’s all but confirmed that Season 2 will return next year. Things didn’t exactly go according to plan for the other official Star Wars release this year, The Mandalorian and Grogu , which was the franchise’s first feature film since The Rise of Skywalker in 2019. The Mandalorian and Grogu has grossed only $340 million at the box office at the time of writing, and it’s expected to finish its run with an even lower total than the $392 million earned by Solo: A Star Wars Story .
