We haven’t had a new installment of Disney+’s The Mandalorian since the end of season 2 in October 2022, and although we got to see a bit of Din Djarin in The Book of Boba Fett, fans are ready for more Mando goodness.
Well, clamor no more! While we wait for season 3 of the series to hit in late 2022 or early 2023, Marvel Comics will be re-examining season 1 through a whole new angle in the eight-issue miniseries, Star Wars: The Mandalorian! Helmed by writer Rodney Barnes (Lando: Double or Nothing) with art by Georges Jeanty (The American Way), the adaptation will give readers a glimpse at memorable season 1 moments—and you know his first meeting with Grogu will be front-and-center.

Jeanty’s art on The American Way (among other projects) is just gorgeous, and Barnes is a dynamo, working on everything from The Boondocks to Killadelphia to the aforementioned Lando. And Barnes’ enthusiasm is sure to make the book all the more enjoyable.
“The story of the Mandalorian checks so many boxes of the stuff I’m passionate about,” Barnes told StarWars.com. “I love Westerns, fantasy, science fiction, comedy, drama…it’s a dream gig for any writer. I’m just glad I was chosen for this assignment!”
Star Wars: The Mandalorian #1 goes on sale July 6th. Final order cutoff is this Monday, May 23rd.
