Star Wars Back On The Big Screen
The evil Empire has fallen, and Imperial warlords remain scattered throughout the galaxy. As the fledgling New Republic works to protect everything the Rebellion fought for, they have enlisted the help of legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his young apprentice Grogu. Directed by Jon Favreau, "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu" also stars Sigourney Weaver and is produced by Jon Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni, and Ian Bryce, with music composed by Ludwig Göransson.

Frankly, I met this trailer with a shrug. I loved the first season of the show, but the other two seasons left me wanting much more than what they gave me. Nothing about this feels scaled up for the big screen, which is the overall problem with Star Wars right now. It has the same problem Pixar has, actually; Disney has rewired our brains to think this should be streaming. When you have the same budgets and teams working on the series and the film, nothing about it visually is going to stand out. It has a sameness to it. I am ready to be wrong, and I hope I am. There is nothing like the buildup to a Star Wars film in theaters. Hopefully, starting with this, we get back on track and feel that excitement again.
The film opens in theaters on May 22, 2026.
