Bad news for “Star Wars” fans: The “Mandalorian” offshoot “Rangers of the New Republic” is unlikely to be released. More on this on Netzwelt.

• “Rangers of the New Republic“is no longer” in active development. “
• The “Star Wars“Series is not canceled, but the future is more than uncertain.

Even if it was never officially confirmed that the controversial Gina Carano would appear in “Rangers of the New Republic”, the character who was last promoted to Marshal of the New Republic in “The Mandalorian” seemed to be an ideal fit for the series. (And in the meantime the rumor also circulated “Star Wars Rebels” character Hera Syndulla would become the new protagonist.)

This is the future of “Rangers of the New Republic”

That “Rangers of the New Republic” is now “not in active development”, however, means does not automatically mean that the series is actually canceled. Maybe Disney and Lucasfilm could start again here in the future.

Disney +: “Star Wars” series galore

However, “Rangers of the New Republic” also appears to be the show among the upcoming “Star Wars” series Disney+ to be, which in certain circumstances can best be dispensed with. After all, no iconic characters like Ahsoka Tano, Boba Fett, or Obi-Wan Kenobi occur. Also here is not, as in the case of “Andor“, told a prequel story to a” Star Wars “movie.
