Superstar Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu

After the success of the series “The Mandalorian”, the Lucasfilm executives responsible for the Superstar Wars universe were not going to miss the opportunity to bring the character of Pedro Pascal and the cute Grogu to the big screen. The story places us in the period immediately after “Return of the Jedi”, the third film in George Lucas’ fashioned trilogy. The curious pair now embark on a new adventure when the evil Empire has fallen, but the warlords remain scattered throughout the galaxy. As the nascent New Republic works to protect everything the Rebellion fought for, they enlist the help of legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin—now more selective about the jobs he takes—and his young apprentice Grogu, who continues his training. Directed by Jon Favreau, “Superstar Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu” also stars Sigourney Weaver. This movie was filmed for IMAX, so try to see it in that format or on the biggest screens you can find.
