The Mandalorian and Grogu | Official Trailer

Why isn't this just a new season of the first show?

I'm gonna enjoy watching Star Wars fans find every reason to hate this lmao

Andor was universally praised. If the movie is written well, it could receive such treatment.

well at least its gonna be the last Mando related thing...

as much as i liked the Disney Plus show, shit was starting to overstay its welcome. lol

Have they said that?

Excellent question. I thought that this movie was supposed to come after Mando Season 4. From what I've gathered though, it will actually replace Mando Season 4, although this isn't 100% confirmed yet.

Also, kinda tangential, but I'm still annoyed how quickly the show writers reunited Mando and Grogu after Season 2. I only stared watching the show after Season 3 released and went from the amazing closure to that relationship in Season 2 that should have ended with Grogu training to be a Jedi in the long-term to somehow Mando and Grogu ending up back together in Season 3 with zero explanation and in a cute fashion learning to use Mandolorian weapons... Just wut? Did some research and found out Mando highjacked the latter episodes of the panned Boba Fett show and they reunited in that. The show runners reunited them clearly way too soon when Mando alone should have helped Fett...and the fact Luke said "no no" to attachments to drive Grogu away shows Disney still doesn't get Luke. He didn't grow up in a Jedi Temple. He grew up on a desert planet and formed many attachments there and later as a part of the rebellion. Ay caramba...

I digress. Still, I hope that the movie is great and the future Thrawn movie is great. Would go a long way to getting the bad taste of the sequels out of people's mouths. Plus, it has been a long time since the last Star Wars movie was released.

I can't tell if this is real or one of those fan made fake trailers

Wish they put more thought into that title.

Sounds more like a buddy cop than the usual Star Wars-y stuff

Star Wars fans will complain about anything and everything Star Wars regardless if it's actually good or bad. It's their reputation.

Fuck Disney

My overall feelings are simply meh here.

Lately its been getting harder and harder for me to care for a franchise being completely hard carried by the prequel era. Avoids the OG era like the plague and likely wont ever touch the sequel for obvious reasons.

And even if they did acknowledge the OG era.none of it will never matter or amount to anything in the long run. So who cares?

still wish they would've found a better way to give BF the show he deserved.

A time period that should be explored and has a lot of room for content is the 10 year gap between The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones.

What you have in the tag is something that has fascinated me since it happened. Book of Boba Fett becoming an entirely different show mid-run, and being such a big part of a different show, is the strangest decision for a TV show I have ever seen. My Mom hated BOB and was not watching, and I had to let her know which episodes she had to watch to make The Mandalorian make sense. I am sure others were confused too. It was such a weird choice. Did they just see how terrible the start of BOB was and just decide to fill the remaining episodes with Mando instead?

Your criticism of Mando and Grogu reuniting so soon is one I hear a lot. I get it, but I am not sure I agree with it. Their parting was so well done, and it does kind of cheapen it. But it is a totally different show without them together, and I didnt think there was any chance it would last a long time.

Yeah it's kinda silly how BoBF became Mando Season 2.5 halfway through

I often wonder if that was the plan from the start or if they just couldn't get a solid storyline together for a full BF season and decided to shove Mando in there so people would continue watching it. I did like that they teamed up at the end but still wish they would've found a better way to give BF the show he deserved.

Yeah, I feel like the only thing we've seen from that time period is Count Dooku's fall to the dark-side from Tales of the Jedi.

But beyond that, it feels like basically nothing happened in the 10 years between Maul killing Qui-Gon and the start of AotC

It's literally on the Star Wars page....

I agree. If they wanted to keep The Mandalorian and Grogu in the title, they could've done something like the A Star Wars Story thing. For example:

The Great Purge of Mandalore:
A Mandalorian and Grogu Story

Star Wars fans will complain about anything and everything Star Wars regardless if it's actually good or bad. It's their reputation.
