I think that ‘The Mandalorian & Grogu’ will be one of the greatest adventure movies in the canon of all of cinema.I think Jon Favreau is a genius, and the way that it has evolved from a special cinematic experience that was episodic and that you could experience in your own home, the way that they nailed that kind of special, special viewing experience is exactly as grand as it’s gonna be. They will provide one of the best adventures that we’ve seen since, I would say, the first ‘Star Wars’ movie was introduced to the world.
Pedro Pascal Is Raising The Bar High
The Mandalorian & Grogu Was Already Going To Be Closely Scrutinized
In many ways,The Mandalorian & Grogu’s releaseis a notable milestone for theStar Warsfranchise. Not only will it be the first movie to arrive after 2019’sThe Rise of Skywalker, it will also be the first to be born from the Disney+ television shows. For those reasons alone,The Mandalorian & Groguwill be closely scrutinized, and that’s not even counting the fact that allStar Warsprojects these days are hotly debated by fans. It’s understandable that Pascal would feel passionately about his own movie, but it also sets the bar quite high.
The Mandalorian & Grogualso stars Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White, who will play Jabba the Hutt’s son.
So far, though, it seems the actor is smart to feel so confident. Though season 3 earned a more mixed reaction, theMandalorianshow is a fan-favorite and generally well-regarded among viewers. One would hope the creative team would be able to channel that success onto the big screen as well. That Lucasfilm pushed forward with the movie at all while several other projects struggle through development furtherindicatesThe Mandalorian & Grogujust might be the hit Pascal suggestsit will be.
