The Mandalorianhas provided a new avenue forStar Warsto tell expansive stories, with fans falling in love with the journey of Din Djarin and Grogu. The duo will be making the jump to the big screen with the upcoming filmThe Mandalorian & Grogu, which is expected to commence filming soon, and Pedro Pascal is expected to reprise his role from the live-action series.
In the series, a large focus has been placed on the Mandalorians and their use of Beskar to counter the lightsabers. However, in the upcoming film, another anti-lightsaber weapon could be introduced similar to the Darksaber, which was a major plot point in the three seasons of the series. Here is it makes sense to include this weapon inThe Mandalorian & Grogu.
The Mandalorian & GroguFilm Can Introduce a New Material That Cancels Lightsabers
Created byJon Favreau,The Mandaloriandebuted in 2019 and became the first live-action series set in theStar Warsuniverse. The series became extremely popular during its three seasons, leading to an upcoming theatrical film titledThe Mandalorian & Grogu.
The film provides the perfect opportunity for Favreau to expand the lore of the universe, by introducing a new material that can be used to counter lightsabers. Previously, Beskar is extensively used by the Mandalorians for the same reason. However, in the non-canon lore,Cortosisis another metal with similar properties.
Cortosis was first introduced in theStar WarsLegends timeline in the novelI, Jediby Michael A. Stackpole, which was published in 1998. It was later featured in the video gameStar Wars: Jedi Knight II – Jedi Outcast,where it was used to make stormtrooper armor.

The material has been canonized with its appearances in novels such asA New Dawnby John Jackson Miller andStar Wars: Thrawn – Alliancesby Timothy Zahn. Given the destruction of the Darksaber inThe Mandalorian, the film might introduce a new anti-lightsaber weapon for Din Djarin, or even Grogu to use during battle.
The Mandalorian & GroguCould Feature This Legendary Anti-Lightsaber Weapon Made From Cortosis
Although Cortosis is in itself a powerful alloy, possessing the ability to negate lightsabers, its strongest form is theNull Blade. The sword-like weapon is forged from Cortosis, which can shortlightsabersupon contact. However, if it is not reinforced with the metal alloy, it can also be sliced by a lightsaber.
The Null Blade was first introduced in canon in theDoctor Aphra(2020) issue # 24. The weapon is similar to the Darksaber and is considered one of the most effective tools against lightsabers, as it was originally created to defeat the Sith. It was also used ina duel against Darth Vader, successfully shorting his lightsaber.
Given the history of the weapon, its legendary status cannot be argued. Therefore, it is only natural that the weapon finally appears in live-action much like the Darksaber, which earlier featured in the animated spin-offs.

Moreover,The Mandalorian & Grogucould see the titular duo traveling the galaxy to find a weapon that Grogu could use to hone his force skills, making the Null Blade an ideal candidate. Therefore, the film should introduce the Null Blade and Cortosis to the largerStar Warsuniverse.The Mandalorian & Groguis currently slated to release on July 21, 2025.
