That’s because we’re finally returning to that galaxy “far, far away”. Now, I know that the last few Disney/Lucasfilm entries have been released in the Winter (always too late to be considered for any awards from the critics’ groups). But that wasn’t the case back in the glory days of the original trilogy (or episodes four through six, for the “hardcores”), when they’d be in theatres at the start, or near the Memorial Day holiday weekend every three years (77′,80′,83′), respectively. And can you believe that it’s been seven years since the last Star Wars theatrical release? Oh, this one’s not another “episode”, nor is it a sequel or prequel in the movie series. Rather, it’s the continuation of an incredibly successful streaming series that debuted seven years ago on Disney+, which is “SW-adjacent.” So let’s put our “X-Wing” in reverse to arrive only a few years after the events of RETURN OF THE JEDI for the big screen debut adventure of STAR WARS: THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU. Hurry along now, for “this is the way”… Indeed, the Imperials were soundly defeated in the finale of JEDI, but a few of those “bad apples” are still slithering about, trying to “shake down” planet systems in order to rebuild the Empire. That’s what is happening in this story’s opening sequence. Lucky for the good guys of the New Republic, they have hired former bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), a member of the Mandalorian order, to track down and hopefully capture (for intel) these baddies. Oh, and he’s not a “lone wolf”. Din is aided by his trusty co-pilot Garazeb “Zeb” Orrelios (voice of Steve Blum) and his ever-present “ward”, the toddler Grogu, part of the race that spawned the legendary Jedi master Yoda. At the mission’s end, the trio travels back to the new “rebel base”. There, Din meets with his “liaison”, Colonel Ward (Sigourney Weaver), who tells him that this last gig got “messy”. And yet, she has a new mission for him: find a mysterious missing Imperial “high honcho”. Unfortunately, the only “lead” rests with members of the Hutt crime syndicate. Their price for the info: the rescue of the “kidnapped” son of the late Jabba the Hutt, Rotta (voice of Jeremy
