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

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.

This is the way

The Mandalorian and Grogu Official Trailer

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.

The Mandalorian & Grogu Trailer

I knew a teaser was around the corner now that we are within eight months of the release. We finally have The Mandalorian & Grogu trailer! If you are on any type of social media and/or follow me on my socials, then you’ve probably already seen the video. Remember, this is the movie. This is not the fourth season of the series. Be that as it may, here it is anyway!

The Mandalorian: Chapter 24

Grogu Chapter 24

Title: The Return
Director: Rick Famuyima
Runtime: 41 minutes

This is it, folks! The season three finale! I can’t believe it’s already been eight weeks since the season started. There are no Easter eggs this time. If you watched the episode last week then you know exactly where we left off, so let’s discuss it.

Chapter 24 picks up right where the last episode left off, obviously. Bo-Katan and the rest of the Mandalorians are fighting to retake their home world and Din Djarin has been captured.

The Mandalorian Season Finale Rumors and Theories

Chapter 23 left all of us pondering what might happen in Chapter 24. I have seen a lot of different ideas on who “the spies” are because it isn’t the Shadow Council. Let’s talk about some of the Mandalorian season finale rumors and theories and discuss their probabilities. I’m not going to mention things I’ve already predicted (i.e. Thrawn’s appearance). These are in no particular order.
