‘The Mandalorian’ and the recent rumors
- The rise in “Mandalorian” content comes a new “Star Wars” rumor continues to swirl around the internet. It’s likely unlikely untrue since it’s mostly from internet discussion. But the rumor suggests Disney could reset the entire sequel trilogy, making it an alternate timeline of events in the “Star Wars” universe.
- The rumor raises questions about what would mean for “The Mandalorian,” which we know to be canon in the “Star Wars” universe.
- Again, the rumor is untrue. But it’s clear Disney plans to extend “The Mandalorian” brand even farther than it already is at right now.
