Katee Sackhoff has played a key role in the Star Wars universe. She voiced Bo-Katan Kryze in The Clone Wars animated series before appearing as the character live in The Mandalorian. The Mandalorian & Grogu is set to premiere in theaters on May 22, 2026, and fans have wondered whether Sackoff will reprise her role on the big screen. She was asked about it in a recent interview, and her answer will keep fans guessing.
Katee Sackhoff On The Mandalorian and Grogu Appearance
When asked whether she would appear in the movie, Katie Sackhoff sat down with Collider and gave a one-sentence answer. “I have not been in the armor in 2025,” Sackoff said. Of course, this means nothing. Reports have indicated filming ended last year. Bo-Katan Kryze, a pivotal character throughout The Mandalorian Seasons 2 and 3, has had quite the arc, and many want to see how her storyline ends. LucasFilms has tried its best to keep things under wraps, and so far, it is working.
As details about the film remain largely under wraps, fans can only speculate on what might lie ahead for our favorite Mandalorian and his adorable, Force-sensitive companion. What we do know is that Pedro Pascal will reprise his iconic role as Din Djarin alongside a stellar cast, including Sigourney Weaver, Jeremy Allen White, and Jonny Coyne. With Jon Favreau at the helm as director and Dave Filoni lending his writing genius, The Mandalorian & Grogu is shaping up to be an epic return to the Star Wars universe.
Other Upcoming Star Wars Projects
But what about other thrilling projects on the horizon for Star Wars? Shawn Levy, the mind behind the box office hit Deadpool & Wolverine, is crafting a brand-new Star Wars film, and rumors are swirling about Ryan Gosling joining the cast. Furthermore, Daisy Ridley will grace the screen once again as Rey in a forthcoming New Jedi Order movie. And if that wasn’t enticing enough, James Mangold has been tapped to direct a historic film about the first individual to connect with the Force. There is so much on the horizon for fans to get excited about.
Final Thoughts
There is so much to be excited about for Star Wars fans. In a few short weeks, the second season of Andor premieres, which fans have been eagerly awaiting. The Mandalorian and Grogu will be one of the most anticipated films next year. Anytime a Star Wars movie comes out, it is a big deal, but this is even bigger. This was the debut series for Disney+, and it lived up to the hype. This movie will be the culmination of a huge story, and hopefully, we will see Katee Sackhoff appear on screen as well.
