All Your Questions About The Mandalorian & Grogu, Answered

Image: LucasfilmProduction on The Mandalorian & Grogu will begin in 2024—which, one might assume, would make it very difficult for star Pedro Pascal to be a part of this. After all, he will be shooting season two of The Last of Us for a few months starting in February and is likely to lead a Fantastic Four movie soon too, which almost certainly also has to film this year.So no Pedro? Not so fast. Pascal hasn’t been on set and in the suit for The Mandalorian for some time. That means Favreau could basically make the

Hasbro Discusses New Star Wars Project

It took all of five days, but 8,000 people pledged $500 each and made it certain that Hasbro would be making its mega version of the Ghost from Star Wars Rebels and Ahsoka. The project, which was announced last week at San Diego Comic-Con, is the latest in Hasbro’s Haslab series.

Everything We Learned on Disney+

A documentary on the making of Mandalorian season 3 is now on Disney+.Image: LucasfilmIt’s been two months since season three of The Mandalorian came to an end, and now it’s time to find out how they got there. This week, Disney+ released the latest episode of Disney Gallery: Star Wars The Mandalorian, a behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of the popular show. The first season of Disney Gallery was exactly that, a full season. But last year, it was boiled down to two episodes and this year, it’s just one. So,

Robert Rodriguez Can’t Confirm a Comeback

Forty years ago, Han Solo said it best. “Boba Fett? Boba Fett? Where?” After the character’s unexpected return in The Mandalorian season two, he got a full backstory in The Book of Boba Fett.

20 Burning Questions Post Finale

Image: LucasfilmThis season’s penultimate episode, Chapter 23, was called “The Spies,” which created unspoken tension that someone was going to betray the Mandalorians who went down to scout the surface of their former planet. That didn’t happen. In the finale, there were moments where we thought maybe a betrayal was coming—and again, nothing.So, who were “The Spies?” Well, we think the term “Spies” isn’t being used in a typical James Bond context. The term also has a biblical context that basically means a group of

Chapter 24 The Return, Ep 8

The first two seasons of The Mandalorian ended with some kind of big Star Wars twist. In season one, Moff Gideon pulled out the Darksaber. In season two, Luke Skywalker arrived to help Grogu. And the expectation of something on that level for the season three finale seemed completely reasonable. Instead, fans were given a laundry list of payoffs that helped bring the season together in a satisfying way, which worked but also felt maybe a little too straightforward for a show that has thrived on exciting surprises.Bryce…

Did Star Wars Just Drop its First Curse?

The internet loves a good debate over perception, whether it’s the color of a dress or something else, and now we have one from The Mandalorian. And it’s a little bit naughty.Balancing Fan Expectations in The MandalorianIn the most recent episode of the show, “The Spies,” there’s a moment where an Anzellan brings in IG-12 for Grogu to use. He climbs out of it and jokingly avoids Grogu, a callback to the season’s first episode when Grogu gave a startled Anzellan a great big hug. “Bad baby,” the creature says. “No
