During the San Diego Comic-Con 2023, an update was revealed about an upcoming LEGO Star Wars special centered around The Mandalorian. Since the arrival of Star Wars on Disney+ in 2019 with The Mandalorian, LEGO specials have become a regular occurrence. Disney+ has been home to various comedic short films that blend the Star Wars franchise with LEGO animation, such as The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special in 2020, LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales in 2021, and LEGO Star Wars: Summer Vacation in 2022.
As reported by BespinBulletin, there appears to be another LEGO special in the works for Disney+. This time, it will be based on the world of The Mandalorian. Although there hasn't been any official confirmation or news about the special at SDCC 2023, observant fans have noticed clues about the upcoming LEGO film at the convention. The upcoming short, titled LEGO Star Wars: Mandoween - Celebrate The Season, will be available on Disney+ and will feature the former LEGO animation style with elements from Disney+'s own The Mandalorian.
Mandoween Is Presumably Star Wars' Halloween Special
The Star Wars franchise has previously released LEGO versions of The Holiday Special during Christmas and Summer Vacation in the summer. However, with Mandoween, it seems they are now attempting a Halloween special. While LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales could be considered a Halloween special to some extent, the upcoming Disney+ release appears to incorporate the holiday in a much more explicit manner. Terrifying Tales focused on exploring the darker side of Star Wars' characters, whereas Mandoween might introduce a unique Halloween experience to the Star Wars universe.
The original Star Wars Holiday Special introduced Life Day, Star Wars' version of Christmas. In 2020, the LEGO satirization of the film also featured Life Day, raising the possibility that Mandoween could do the same for Halloween. Further details are anticipated in the upcoming months, and it is expected that Mandoween, based on The Mandalorian, will be released on Disney+ in October 2023.
