Indeed, with The Mandalorian and Grogu finally ending the iconic sci-fi franchise's theatrical hiatus, I suspect many of you will be heading
to your local cinema to see what it's all about.

However, if you've been put off by its middling critical reception read my review of The Mandalorian and Grogu to see what I thought you might decide
to save your money and wait for it to come out on Disney+ . So, when could

a Disney+ release date yet? You won't be seeing Baby Yoda and the Ancellans return on Disney+ anytime soon (Image credit: Lucasfilm) No. The movie sequel to The Mandalorian TV series only arrived in theaters on May 22, so it'll be
a while before it's released on Disney+.

no insider information, but my best guess is it'll drop on one of the best streaming services in early September, with September 2 being the most likely scenario.

Why then? Typically, Disney releases its first-party films on its primary streamer around three months after they launch in theaters. Some have come to the service earlier or later than anticipated, but that's usually the result of them underperforming at the global box office, or are still making money via ticket sales, so they're left in theaters for longer. For The Mandalorian and Grogu , let's assume that it'll land on Disney+ three months after its theatrical release. That would mean it should be available to watch at home
on August 22, right?

Not exactly. You see, new Disney+ movies tend to come out on a Wednesday.
This year, August 22 falls on a Saturday, so there's absolutely no chance
that the first of many new Star Wars movies and TV shows will launch on that date.

Now, it's possible that The Mandalorian and Grogu could drop on the Wednesday either side of August 22 those dates being August 19 and 26. However, I believe Disney will withhold its streaming launch until the previously mentioned September 2 date. The reason? Labor Day, one of many holidays observed in the US, is set to take place on Monday, September 7 this year.

With many Americans due to enjoy a three-day weekend around that date, releasing The Mandalorian and Grogu on the Wednesday before Labor Day weekend makes perfect sense. Those who live stateside will likely have a couple of hours to spare at some point over the extended weekend, so loading up Disney+ to check out the latest Star Wars movie is something that millions of them
are sure to do.

And, hey, if you don't live in the US, I'm sure you'll have some downtime
over the first weekend of September. If you do and you're a Star Wars fan, you're just as likely to sign into Disney+ to see what all of the fuss is about with The Mandalorian and Grogu , too. What to read next How to watch

anyway I've said that you'll need to set aside a couple of hours to watch
The Mandalorian and Grogu .

That's due to the fact that its runtime is two hours and 12 minutes,
including its end credits crawl. That makes its the fourth shortest Star Wars movie of all-time, with only the original film trilogy having smaller runtimes. Does The Mandalorian and Grogu have an end credits scene? Mando and Baby Yoda's latest adventure doesn't come packaged with an end credits scene (Image credit: Lucasfilm) No. Once Din Djarin and Baby Yoda's latest galactic adventure has come to a close, there isn't a mid- and/or post-credits scene
to stick around for.

By all means sit through the end credits sequence to appreciate the sheer number of people who worked on The Mandalorian and Grogu . But, if you stay seated with the hope that you'll get a hint at what's next for that legendary galaxy far, far away, you'll be sorely disappointed.
