It’s been seven years since a new Star Wars movie has released in theaters. The beloved franchise has steadily grown via animated and live-action streaming series, novels, video games, and so on. But for those of us who love seeing “The Galaxy Far, Far Away” on the big screen, it has been a painful drought. That changes in three months with the release of “The Mandalorian and Grogu”. This feature film follows three seasons of the popular Disney+ series “The Mandalorian”. And judging by the new trailer, we fans have a lot to look forward to.
Director Jon Favreau’s excitement over making his first Star Wars movie has been evident since it was first announced. And you can see it in the new trailer. “The Mandalorian and Grogu” looks to be a sprawling adventure, set upon some new planets and introducing some new characters to the universe. To LucasFilm’s credit, they’re still leaving the story details under wraps. But it looks as if Mando and Grogu are in for plenty of action and some unexpected threats. The trailer is full of new faces and some deep cuts for hardcore fans. I can’t wait!
“The Mandalorian and Grogu” soars into theaters on May 22nd. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
Keith & the Movies 
Is it going to be necessary to have watched the TV shows to understand this movie?
That’s the question in the forefront of my mind.
I would think to some degree since the two lead characters have only appeared in the streaming series. But how much is the question. I really don’t know. I can’t image it would be a hard prerequisite.
I’ll be honest, aside from the first season, The Mandalorian series left me pretty cold. This trailer doesn’t impress me in the slightest. In fact, this could very well be the first Star Wars movie that I’ll skip entirely. I’ll wait for reviews, and if they’re good enough, I’ll check it out on streaming. I’m more interested in Starfighter. Truth is, is that Star Wars has been skating on thin ice with me since The Rise of Skywalker.
It’s a day one must-see for me. I enjoyed all three seasons to varying degrees and I’m really interested in how this movie ends. Plus I’m just ready for Star Wars back on the big screen.
Nope will do.
But…But…Grogu! LOL
