Star Wars is returning to theaters with The Mandalorian & Grogu, which will have the lowest production budget of any Disney-era film at $166.4 million. This marks a significant shift for Lucasfilm, which has struggled with high costs in recent years, exemplified by the financial failure of Solo. The efficient production process, utilizing ILM’s StageCraft technology, suggests a new strategy for the franchise, enabling lower financial expectations for success. If successful, this could pave the way for more creative flexibility in future projects.
