The list of Star Wars projects that have started and never seen the light of day is very long. Heck, we even made one ourselves. However, arguably the most intriguing of those was a Boba Fett movie by director James Mangold. Mangold, the director of Logan, The Wolverine, and 3:10 to Yuma was working on a Fett film after Josh Trank and before The Mandalorian, but it was eventually scrappedBryce Dallas Howard on a Feature Star Wars Film and Book of Boba FettIn a new interview with Happy Sad Confused, Mangold—who stayed with…

I think they hold up very well”—and compared them to the new show. “I think they sent me the first four or five complete scripts so I could look at a small supporting part, but also to get a feeling of the tone and what they were going for. You can do cartoons or animated series all sorts of different ways. You can do them either…

Starting this week, The Mandalorian heroes Din Djarin and Grogu will be appearing in Batuu’s Black Spire Outpost at Disneyland.That means the area—previously frozen in the latest film trilogy’s specific era—is bending time a bit, since Grogu and Mando’s adventures currently take place a little over a decade before The Force Awakens. And unlike its Marvel Studios counterpart,…

The very online folk will know that the “Pope Francis Holding Things” meme isn’t new. It’s been around for years. However, in recent days, the meme has been given new life thanks to a Twitter feature that allows users to go wild and tweet videos, images, and GIFs—all in one tweet. Although the rise of the meme was probably not the use case Twitter envisioned, it has delighted countless users on the platform, where joy has a tendency of being in short supply.This past Wednesday, the social media platform released a new…

The Mandalorian season 2 hasn't had much to do for Baby Yoda, except look cute and steal some precious eggs, but episode 5 — titled Chapter 13: The Jedi — made up for that thanks to the introduction of Anakin Skywalker's Jedi Padawan, Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson), whom we finally got to meet in the flesh. Ahsoka has previously been part of the animated film and the series of the same name Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the follow-up series Star Wars Rebels — she also had a tiny voice cameo in the latest movie, Star Wars:…

The Mandalorian season 2 episode 6 told us that things weren't going to be fine, right off the bat. Any piece of fiction that begins with a happy protagonist never ends well. And so it was for our beskar-clad hero, whom most of us know simply as Mando (Pedro Pascal), who laughed — for possibly the first time in the history of the Star Wars series — when Grogu (forever Baby Yoda in our hearts) reacted and cooed to his name being called out, all while playing with his favourite toy: the spherical metal knob. And of course,…

The Mandalorian — the popular Star Wars series from Disney+ and Lucasfilm — is already working on a fourth season. The show is set five years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Return of the Jedi, and helped kick start Disney's video streaming service, with more spin-off series in the works. Two seasons centred around the adventures of Din Djarin and Grogu have been released so far, with the third set to arrive in February 2023.

The Book of Boba Fett was always going to fight an uphill task. Only the second ever live-action Star Wars series — all seven episodes are now available on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar — it arrived at the tail end of 2021, following two seasons of the beloved The Mandalorian. That's two full seasons of Grogu, better known as Baby Yoda, carving a place in our hearts through instantly meme-able moments. Two seasons of a bounty hunter (Pedro Pascal) kindling his paternal spirit, overcoming his dislike for droids, and…
