Movie Review: The Mandalorian and Grogu

By

On May 27, 2026

In Reviews, Star Wars, The Mandalorian

Directed by: Jon Favreau
Starring: Pedro Pascal, Brendan Wayne, Sigourney Weaver
Release Date: 5/22/2026
Runtime: 2h 12m
My Rating:

This is not going to be a normal movie review. If you came here looking for a standard critique, you came to the wrong place. I haven’t attended a Star Wars movie on opening weekend since The Phantom Menace, so I was very excited for this movie. I walked in ready to enjoy it, and I walked out having enjoyed it as much as I expected I would. This movie is a fun ride, and it will be in my May movie rotation (in fact, this is it’s inaugural year).

I will discuss what I think it means for the Mandoverse and how it may tie into the larger story following the conclusion of Season 3 (as well as other series that preceded it).

Later in the post I will talk about the easter eggs I saw, which will contain some spoilers.

The Mandalorian & Grogu Final Trailer

By

In Star Wars, The Mandalorian

Here is the Mandalorian & Grogu final trailer before the film’s release next month. I’m excited for this movie, mainly because it’s the first Star Wars film since 2019, but also because it looks so good. Check out the trailer below if you haven’t seen it yet.

This is definitely the hype trailer, with stunning visuals, throwback music (Yoda’s theme), and all the cameos. These cameos range from character cameos such as Embo, the twins, and Zeb to voice-over cameos by Martin Scorsese. The original series composer, Ludwig Goransson, scored this film.

This trailer has me sufficiently hyped!

The Mandalorian & Grogu hits theaters May 22nd.

Maul Shadow Lord Official Trailer

In Canon, Star Wars

Disney has released the (Darth) Maul Shadow Lord official trailer. We got the teaser trailer for this a couple of months ago, and now we have the full-length trailer. I know it’s unusual to share trailers for animated series, but I really enjoyed The Bad Batch, and the animation style is very similar. As I said before, it’s exciting to have Sam Witwer back for the animated voice again. Check it out!

As we used to say in the 90s, this show looks “tight”. I think the nomenclature used today would be that it looks “fire”? Anyway, enough of me trying to sound cool (it never worked for me in the past).

I’m not sure where this takes place in the timeline. It’s obviously after Order 66 but before he is slain by Obi-Wan in Rebels. He has to have his robotic legs, but they’re not exposed as we saw in the Solo movie. If he’s trying to build a new crime syndicate, is this after Crimson Dawn? I will have to hunt around for more clarity on where we are in the Star Wars canon timeline.

The adventure begins on April 6th on Disney+.

The Mandalorian and Grogu Official Trailer

In Star Wars, The Mandalorian

Lucasfilm teased us yesterday (Feb 16th) that a full trailer would be released today. For some reason, they are still posting teaser trailers for trailers. I don’t get it. Regardless, here is the Mandalorian and Grogu official trailer.

This trailer had me at R2-D2! Then we saw Zeb, and then we saw another Ardennian (the last time we saw one was Rio from the Solo movie). I’m excited for this movie!

Din Djarin said he is looking for a Hutt. I wonder if he means Ezra (IYKYK). Anyway, I’m going to go watch this like six or seven more times.

UPDATE: I just learned that the swol Hutt in the trailer is Rotta, Jabba’s son.

The Mandalorian and Grogu will be in theaters on May 22nd.

HMDYK About Her Universe

In Comic Books, Geek Canon, HMDYK, Star Wars

I know this is way outside the normal posts for this category, but we are such fans of Ashley Eckstein and what she’s done for the franchise. I would love to do a post about Ashley; however, she’s mostly known for her voice-over work as Ahsoka Tano. She is married to retired St Louis Cardinal shortstop David Eckstein. She is often seen at any con, and she loves meeting fans. She’s also an entrepreneur and started Her Universe in 2010. So, for one last time in 2025, how much do you know about Her Universe?
