DK Books has announced that it will not publish Lucasfilm's The Mandalorian Ultimate Visual Guide as originally intended.

Meanwhile, author
Adam Christopher was slated to write an original novel set in
The Mandalorian timeline, and that, too, has been canceled – or perhaps indefinitely delayed. As you can see from the tweet, Christopher is already hard at work on a different
Star Wars-related book from Del Ray, so hopefully fans of his won’t have to wait too long for more information about that.
Reading between the lines, these cancelations (or delays, or whatever they end up being) seem like a direct result of Lucasfilm’s decision to use
The Mandalorian as a jumping-off point for more
Star Wars shows set in a galaxy far, far away. At last December’s investor event, Disney announced
two Mandalorian spin-offs: there’s
Rangers of the New Republic, which reportedly was going to star Gina Carano’s Cara Dune character before the company parted ways with Carano over her social media posts. And there’s also
Ahsoka, which will follow Rosario Dawson’s Ahsoka Tano character in live-action that’s set within the timeline of
The Mandalorian. And don’t forget about
The Book of Boba Fett, which
debuts later this year, and
The Mandalorian season 3, which will drop at some point in 2022.
