Looks like Lucasfilm collected the bounty on The Mandalorian’s publishing program the harsh way: cold. Announced back in June 2020, the program promised to dive into the show’s little Grogu-sized pocket of the Star Wars universe, with everything from the usual Ultimate Visual Guide to even an original novel written by Adam Christopher (which had first been delayed to this year), but only the “Art of” book released so far and now the remaining content is shelved. With the exploding success of the show, how often production and stories change, and all the connected TV shows set to come out too, it seems the story of Din Djarin, the Mandalorians and the Darksaber, and Grogu will primarily unfold on our TV screens via Disney+ instead, so no Frog Family books on the horizon, unfortunately. Author Adam Christopher at least has the opportunity for a new novel and we’ll be here, patiently awaiting its reveal. Otherwise, there’s the awesome and only just beginning The High Republic initiative to be excited about with publishing, while The Book of Boba Fett is set to hit our screens at the end of the year with The Mandalorian’s third season sometime in 2022.
