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

“As in the MCU…Disneywill 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 (viaCulture 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 theDisney Plusseries, 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.
