Alright Mandalorian fans! Good news coming out of the Star Wars universe as the release date for The Mandalorian Season 3 has been revealed. Of course, we’ll be sure to mark our calendars as we suspect Season 3 will be just as epic as Seasons 1 and 2.

As shared by ComicBook.com: “The Mandalorian will be back for season 3 on Disney+ in 2021. While much of today’s Investor Day from The Walt Disney Company saw the announcements of all-new titles for the galaxy far, far away, the event also saw the confirmation that Season Three of The Mandalorian is slated to hit Disney+ in time for Christmas next year. It’s unclear if this means we can expect the third season to premiere on December 25, 2021, or if it merely means the third season will be debuting in the time around that holiday.”

Intriguingly described as a “mystery-thriller”, “The Acolyte” could be the first Star Wars Disney+ series that focuses on a character on the Dark Side of the Force.

The creative team is being headed up by Leslye Headland, co-creator of Netflix’s series “Russian Doll”. No release date or additional info has been announced. However, if you want to learn more about the High Republic Era, check out Starwars.com

Exciting news released yesterday during Disney’s Investor Day event! Disney has announced that “Raya and The Last Dragon” will not only be arriving in theaters on March 5, 2021, but will also be available right at home via Disney+ Premier Access.

As shared by WhatsOnDisneyPlus: “Long ago, in the fantasy world of Kumandra, humans and dragons lived together in harmony. But when an evil force threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity. Now, 500 years later, that same evil has returned and it’s up to a lone warrior, Raya, to track down the legendary last dragon to restore the fractured land and its divided people. However, along her journey, she’ll learn that it’ll take more than a dragon to save the world—it’s going to take trust and teamwork as well.”

Disney did not announce what the cost for “Raya and the Last Dragon” will be on Disney+ Premier Access. We’ll keep you posted! In the meantime, check out the Official Teaser here”
