Lucasfilm has expanded its upcoming Star Wars slate with two distinct additions: an animated LEGO television special centered on The Mandalorian and a new comic book release within the High Republic publishing initiative.
LEGO Mandalorian Special
The animated project, titled LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian, is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on September 2, 2026. Eric Bauza leads the voice cast as Luke Skywalker. Production is handled behind the scenes by director Chris Buckley and writer Michael Price, adapting the live-action series characters and settings into the traditional LEGO animation format.
High Republic Comic Expansion
Parallel to the streaming release, the publishing arm continues its schedule through Dark Horse Comics. Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures—Pathfinders #4 arrives in comic shops on August 19, 2026, advancing the serialized narrative set centuries before the Skywalker saga.
These concurrent announcements reflect the ongoing multi-platform strategy for the franchise, combining targeted animation for streaming audiences with continuous monthly print releases.
