This is the Way — but is it the right way to bring the galaxy's most beloved odd couple to the big screen? After three seasons on Disney+, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu trade the small screen for an IMAX-sized adventure, with the stakes raised and the runtime expanded accordingly.Mike White and Chris Stachiw of The Kulturecast discuss Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, directed by Jon Favreau from a screenplay by Favreau, Dave Filoni, and Noah Kloor. Set in the aftermath of the Empire's fall, the film finds Din Djarin and his apprentice recruited by the New Republic — represented by Colonel Ward (Sigourney Weaver) — to take on the remnants of Imperial warlords, with Jeremy Allen White joining the cast as Rotta the Hutt.

When the House of Mouse scooped up Lucasfilm and the whole shimmering STAR WARS galaxy, fans practically twirled their lightsabers in delight. At long last, the Skywalker saga would get its final trio of tales, and the universe would stretch outward like a hyperspace jump with no end in sight. Then The Mandalorian swaggered onto the scene, and suddenly everyone had a new space-cowboy obsession—plus a tiny green heart‑stealer soon christened Grogu, who promptly became the galaxy's smallest cultural supernova. But after The Book of Boba Fett and a wobblier third season of The Mandalorian, the shine began to dull, and even the Skywalker finale left many feeling like they'd stepped on a LEGO brick in the dark.Still, a question hovered in the air like a hologram: did Grogu—and to a slightly lesser degree his helmeted dad—still hold enough goodwill to charm audiences back into theaters? 2026 was set to answer that cosmic riddle with the first STAR WARS film to hit the big screen in seven years: The Mandalorian and Grogu. IMDB summed it up with a wink of simplicity: once a solitary bounty hunter, Din Djarin now ventures into a fresh adventure with his pint‑sized apprentice, ready to stir up trouble, wonder, and probably a few merchandising opportunities.Jon Favreau directed the film from a script he crafted alongside Dave Filoni and Noah Kloor, assembling a cast that reunited Pedro Pascal while adding Jeremy Allen White and Sigourney Weaver to the mix. Critics offered everything from polite nods to warm applause, while audiences tended to beam a bit brighter—yet the film still struggled to recoup its hefty budget, falling short of the blockbuster hopes Disney had pinned to it. Now your co‑hosts dive into this star‑studded space romp, sharing their thoughts on whether this latest chapter rekindles the magic or simply drifts among the cosmic dust.
Welcome to the 250th episode of Star Wars Reactions!Hosts Aaron Harris and David Modders are back after an unplanned break to discuss their spoiler-filled reactions to The Mandalorian and Grogu which was released on May 22nd, 2026.

Send us Fan MailA Star Wars movie is back in theaters, and we walk out with the most predictable outcome possible: all of us have opinions. Mandalorian And Grogu gives us a big-screen dose of Din Djarin, Grogu cuteness, and creature-driven chaos, but it also raises a real question about what a theatrical Star Wars film should feel like in 2026. Are we here for a simple, rewatchable adventure, or do we need heavier stakes and a clear franchise-shifting arc?We get into what worked for us, from the Anzellans (big Babu Frik energy) to the surprisingly fun lore bits and the craft that still makes this corner of the galaxy feel tangible. We debate whether Grogu shows real growth, how the story leans into fatherhood, and why some moments land harder when you frame them as a “son protecting his dad” story. We also talk pacing, action fatigue, and why the movie can feel like a stitched-together season run instead of a standalone event.Then we go deeper on the meta stuff Star Wars fans love to argue about: marketing, trailers that don't tease a hook, Disney Plus vs theatrical storytelling, and how the “Imperial warlords” thread may be tied to bigger plans like Rangers of the New Republic and the long-dreamed Heir to the Empire direction. Plus, we shout out Ludwig Göransson's score and the theater audio experience that genuinely elevates key scenes.If you've seen Mandalorian And Grogu, come hang with our takes, then tell us yours.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to our 121st episode of the Triple FFF and our early summer confab about two big Hollywood tentpole entries that crashed and burned miserably at the box office in the wake of Gen Z's love affair with indie influencer horror to the point where Gen X has to face the facts and realize our day of IP dominance is over, we're talking about 2026's Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu directed by Jon Favreau and starring Pedro Pascal, Martin Scorcese, Jeremy Allen White and Sigourney Weaver along with Masters of The Universe, directed by Travis Knight and starring Nicholas Galitzine, Camila Mendez, Idris Elba, Alison Brie, Morena Baccarin, James Purefoy, Charlotte Riley and Jared Leto. Back again for more is Mr. 80's Showbiz Trivia himself, Dr. David Johnson, DMD. Before we let these critical fists fly in a flurry of thunder punches, the synopses: In The Mandalorian and Grogu, ace bounty hunter Din Djarin and his adorable little green pal Grogu team up with the New Republic for a dangerous mission: deliver Rotta the Hutt, the kidnapped son of Jabba the Hutt, back to his ruthless gangster relatives known only as the Twins. In exchange, the Republic will get critical intel on the whereabouts of several high-ranking Imperial loyalists, still on the run. In Masters of the Universe, the evil Skeletor seizes control of the planet Eternia and enslaves Prince Adam's royal parents, forcing the young noble into exile on Earth. Stuck living as a regular human in a soul-crushing and emasculating human resources job for a nameless corporation, Adam quietly yearns for the adventure and heroics he was born for. When Eternian warrior princess Teela shows up on Earth chased by Skeletor's mindless henchman Beast Man, Adam finally gets his chance — he returns home with Teela to confront Skeletor and the forces of darkness and to claim his destiny as the most powerful being in the universe… He-Man.

In Episode 515 of Podcast4SciFi, Moose and Game God dive into the latest news surrounding The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, discuss the significance of Star Wars Celebration 2027, and explore why the DC Animated Universe (DCAU) remains one of the most respected superhero franchises ever created. Whether you’re a fan of Star Wars, DC animation, or both, Episode 515 is packed with discussion, speculation, and plenty of geek culture goodness. The Mandalorian & Grogu: The Next Chapter Since their debut, Din Djarin and Grogu have become two of the most beloved characters in modern science fiction.

This week on Fantastic Forum, we are heading from a galaxy far, far away to the blood-soaked battlefields of World War II with two major new releases. First up is The Mandalorian and Grogu, the next chapter in the Star Wars saga starring Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin alongside Grogu, the galaxy's favorite Force-sensitive foundling. Expanding the story beyond the Disney Plus series, the film promises larger scale action, new worlds, and dangerous enemies as the Mandalorian and Grogu continue their journey through a changing galaxy. We are breaking down the return of familiar faces, the future of this corner of Star Wars, and whether the jump from streaming to the big screen delivers the epic adventure fans are hoping for. Then we turn to Operation: Iron Coffin #1 from IDW, written by Kenny Porter with art by Tyrell Cannon. Set during World War II, the story follows a resurrected Dracula teaming with Allied forces on a desperate mission to stop a Nazi vampire plague from escaping a heavily fortified train packed with soldiers, monsters, and supernatural horrors. Mixing gothic horror, pulpy action, and wartime espionage, the series throws the legendary vampire into a brutal fight for redemption against an evil even greater than himself.

Nos ponemos el casco de beskar y saltamos al hiperespacio para analizar The Mandalorian & Grogu, el esperado regreso de Din Djarin y su inseparable compañero a la gran pantalla. Una película que lleva la historia nacida en televisión al terreno cinematográfico, con una aventura que apuesta por la épica, la exploración y el espíritu clásico de Star Wars. En este programa repasamos la película en profundidad: sus personajes, su narrativa, sus nuevos escenarios y la forma en la que amplía el universo de la saga. Hablamos de las secuencias de acción, de las criaturas, del espectáculo visual y de cómo la película consigue sentirse como una auténtica aventura galáctica por derecho propio. También debatimos sobre el estado actual de Star Wars, las críticas recibidas, las expectativas que existían antes del estreno y si realmente estamos ante una película o simplemente ante un episodio largo disfrazado de blockbuster. Adelantamos una cosa: tenemos bastante que decir al respecto. Por supuesto, dedicamos tiempo a Grogu, posiblemente la criatura más adorable y peligrosa de la galaxia, capaz de provocar ternura extrema un segundo y desatar el caos absoluto al siguiente. Con Almu, Amelia, Mariana, Gonk, Miguel Ángel, Mario y el Mamado Lidel, en una charla repleta de análisis, humor, debates, referencias galácticas y alguna que otra discusión sobre el rumbo de la franquicia. ¿Ha merecido la pena el salto al cine? ¿Estamos ante una nueva etapa para Star Wars? ¿Y cuántas veces puede Grogu salvar el día antes de que alguien le dé oficialmente un sueldo? Todo esto y mucho más en una nueva expedición por una galaxia muy, muy lejana. ✨ Puedes verlo en Youtube aqui https://youtu.be/wRbNe7jiaxA?si=OyZ4Comz8BOI_ODz Mas plataformas aqui https://bio.link/laguaridadelsith Mas de Star Wars aqui https://go.ivoox.com/bk/10062932 Y aqui tambien https://go.ivoox.com/bk/11080722

The Mandalorian & Grogu is finally here! After years of dominating Disney+, Din Djarin and Grogu make the jump to the big screen in the latest Star Wars movie. But was this story worthy of a theatrical release, or would it have worked better as The Mandalorian Season 4? In this episode of SuperHero Homies, we break down The Mandalorian & Grogu with a spoiler-free review followed by a deep spoiler discussion covering the movie's biggest moments, surprises, theories, and its impact on the future of Star Wars. SPOILER WARNING The first half of our review is completely spoiler-free. Full Spoiler Discussion Begins at 1:11:00 In our spoiler-free review, we discuss the plot, characters, action sequences, pacing, visual effects, world-building, and musical score. We also tackle one of the biggest questions surrounding the film: Did The Mandalorian & Grogu actually need to be a movie, or would audiences have responded better if this story had remained a Disney+ series? Then we dive into full spoilers as we discuss major plot developments, character arcs, shocking moments, fan theories, Star Wars lore connections, favorite scenes, least favorite scenes, and whether this film represents a step forward or backward for Lucasfilm and the Star Wars franchise. While we genuinely enjoyed spending more time with Din Djarin and Grogu, we came away feeling that the movie never fully justified its feature-length runtime. It's a fun adventure packed with action, heart, and classic Star Wars charm, but does it do enough to stand alongside the best Star Wars movies? Join us as we break down every aspect of The Mandalorian & Grogu and discuss what this means for the future of Star Wars, Lucasfilm, Disney+, and upcoming projects set in the galaxy far, far away.

Com muita ação e um fiapo de história, filme derivado da série "The Mandalorian" traz novamente Pedro Pascal no papel-título, acompanhado do pequeno e poderoso Grogu. Dirigido por Jon Favreau, criador da série, o longa-metragem traz o caçador de recompensas Din Djarin percorrendo a galáxia atrás de ex-líderes militares do Império. No caminho, ele e Grogu recebem uma missão do clã Hutt para resgatar Rotta, filho do falecido Jabba. Grogu continua roubando a cena, mas o enredo do filme não engata e frustra quem espera saber mais sobre os personagens e ver a trajetória deles avançar dentro da franquia "Star Wars".

Joined by special guest Tom Connolly of Connolly Productions, we discuss whether Disney's latest Star Wars movie justified its theatrical release, what worked, what didn't, and why the film feels surprisingly light on meaningful story progression. Did Star Wars finally find its footing, or is the franchise still searching for a clear direction?Featuring discussion on Din Djarin, Grogu, the future of Star Wars, Disney's strategy, and whether this story was truly worthy of the big screen.-------------------Support Us:https://www.patreon.com/c/sceneitebeforecast/membershipFollow Us:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sceneitbeforecast/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@sceneitbeforecast/Follow Danny:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/danny_wosLetterboxd - https://letterboxd.com/DJWosYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbXsBr-nJUqhcnC5YzCa3VQFollow Dan:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/danthedonutman_1Letterboxd - https://letterboxd.com/donutman96/Listen to the Podcast:https://linktr.ee/sceneitbeforeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Plus a quick X-Men 97 Season 2 trailer reaction.
This week we're talking about Star Wars and the weird reaction to Mandalorian and Grogu Speculation that Mandalorian Grogu as a box office failure is weird. The Mandalorian and Grogu Directed by Jon Favreau Starring Pedro Pascal The evil Empire has fallen but Imperial warlords remain scattered throughout the galaxy. As the fledgling New Republic works to protect everything the Rebellion fought for, they enlist the help of legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin and his young apprentice Grogu.

On this episode of The Next Reel, Lance Taylor and Tyler Johns count down their personal Top 5 space-themed movies, debating the sci-fi classics, blockbuster adventures and cinematic experiences that best capture the mystery, danger and spectacle of outer space. Before the countdown, Lance and Tyler recap what they watched over the weekend. Tyler shares his thoughts on the new theatrical Star Wars adventure, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, and whether seeing Din Djarin and Grogu on the big screen brings the franchise back to the fundamentals that made it special. He also reviews the horror movie Passenger and explains why its pacing and repeated jump scares missed the mark. Lance discusses Billy Wilder's film noir classic Double Indemnity, revisits the Academy Award-winning Amadeus, and breaks down Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, the documentary about Francis Ford Coppola's chaotic production of Apocalypse Now. Plus, a harmless night watching Homeland somehow ends with red wine in Maddie's eyes. Then it is time for the main event: Lance and Tyler each reveal their Top 5 movies set in space. Which films made the cut? Which selections caused the biggest debate? And did they agree on the number one space movie ever made?

Season 31, Episode 25 – Aww…So Cute!Hosted by: DONMEGADONMEGA is back with another loaded episode of Am I On The Air?, covering all the biggest entertainment stories from May 20 through May 26. This marks Episode #232 on the PopCulturePros Network, which means while Hollywood keeps reviving old franchises every few months, DONMEGA keeps proving consistency might actually be the rarest thing in entertainment.On the movie side, the biggest spotlight in the galaxy belongs to The Mandalorian and Grogu, as Star Wars finally returns to theaters for the first time in seven years. DONMEGA breaks down the return of Din Djarin and everyone's favorite tiny chaos goblin Grogu, while discussing what this movie means for the future of Star Wars on the big screen. Because after years of streaming series, spin-offs, timelines, side quests, and enough lore videos to require homework, Lucasfilm is finally back in theaters hoping audiences still remember where the popcorn machines are.Meanwhile, horror gets another major franchise revival with director Lee Cronin taking on The Mummy. DONMEGA dives into the darker tone, updated mythology, and scares while figuring out whether this fresh reboot successfully brings the iconic monster back to life… or just unwraps another cursed franchise experiment Hollywood couldn't resist touching.TV stays busy too, with the debut of Nemesis, the latest new series trying to carve out its place in the increasingly crowded streaming battlefield. DONMEGA shares first impressions and whether this one has real breakout potential or might quietly disappear into the content void three weeks from now.Comedy also gets some spotlight as comedian Josh Johnson brings his latest stand-up special Symphony to audiences, and DONMEGA breaks down the biggest laughs, standout moments, and what makes the special hit.And finally, it's time to say goodbye to The Boys. One of television's wildest, bloodiest, and most aggressively unfiltered shows reaches its series finale, and DONMEGA gives his full thoughts on whether the show actually sticks the landing after years of superhero chaos, exploding heads, and enough uncomfortable moments to permanently traumatize HR departments everywhere.Blockbusters, horror reboots, comedy specials, streaming premieres, and major finales, Aww…So Cute! delivers another week of sharp takes, veteran insight, and just enough sarcasm to keep things grounded in a world where every franchise is apparently immortal.

Not only have Mando and Gorgu arrived in theatres, but NAD has arrived as a permanent co-host on TRIAD Of The FORCE! Perfect timing too since today we, at long last, discuss the return of Star Wars to cinemas with the release of THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU!There has been a lot of anticipation about this film and after many years since the release of The Rise Of Skywalker, we all wondered if this would be a triumphant return. Today we review this film and talk at length about what worked and didn't work, from Rotta The Hutt, to Ludwig Göransson's score, but especially the story and journey of Din Djarin and Grogu.We're so exactly to finally talk about a new Star Wars in cinemas, and especially as a complete triad! • • •TRIAD Of The FORCE is a STAR WARS+ podcast hosted by Gus, Nani, Nad, & Chase—Puerto Rican and queer creators sharing deep dives, and heartfelt conversations from a galaxy far, far away.

Granny's Peach Tea – Episode 234: Supes, Spoilers, and Special Guest TimGranny's Peach Tea is back with Episode 234, and this one is going full spoiler mode. Ed and Jason dive into their spoiler discussion of The Boys Season 5 finale, which also serves as the series finale. That means no dancing around the big moments, no pretending they “might talk about it,” and definitely no safe little spoiler-free corner for people who somehow clicked on a finale discussion without watching the finale.The guys break down the end of The Boys, the chaos, the carnage, the characters who made it out, the ones who probably deserved worse, and whether the finale stuck the landing or flew straight through a wall like Homelander having a normal Tuesday.Then Tim joins the show as a special guest to talk The Mandalorian and Grogu, because apparently Granny's Peach Tea decided one major geek-culture discussion wasn't enough. The conversation shifts from corrupt superheroes and bloody finales to Star Wars, Din Djarin, Grogu, and the return of one of the galaxy's favorite tiny green merch machines.It's spoilers, Star Wars, The Boys, Tim dropping in, Ed and Jason doing what they do, and probably enough nerd debate to make the internet argue with itself for another week.#TheBoys #TheBoysFinale #StarWars #TheMandalorianAndGrogu #GrannysPeachTea #PopCulturePros

WILL RAGE HULK APPEAR IN BRAND NEW DAY?!! Have your say here! - https://app.delphi.fyi/market/22f8a163-dbab-4a36-82aa-9ba43486ca53 On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the latest movie news and major updates from the worlds of Star Wars, DC, James Bond, and horror franchises. Could The Mandalorian and Grogu actually "save" Star Wars at the box office? New opening weekend projections are climbing, and we discuss whether Din Djarin and Grogu can bring audiences back to theaters in a massive way. We also talk about the first set videos from The Batman: Part II finally surfacing online, giving fans their first look at Matt Reeves' highly anticipated sequel starring Robert Pattinson as Batman. What could these early set leaks reveal about the tone, story, and villains of the next DC movie? Plus, new details have emerged about the future of James Bond as Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight teases a fresh cinematic approach for 007. Could this be the reinvention the Bond franchise needs after Daniel Craig's departure? And finally, Lionsgate has confirmed discussions are underway for Michael 2 following the success of the Michael Jackson biopic. Is a sequel already happening, and what could it explore next?
Dominic, Ben, and Chris are reunited (in person!), along with Matthew and Din, to share their initial thoughts on The Mandalorian and Grogu. They talk about their experiences seeing their first new Star Wars movie in almost seven years, including the IMAX 3D presentation. They break down what this movie showed us about Din Djarin and Grogu as characters, how Rotta the Hutt has evolved since The Clone Wars movie, and the role of the New Republic and Imperial Remnant in the movie. Plus, reaction to Ludwig Göransson's score, Embo's role in the movie, and why this might be the most important Star Wars movie in decades. All this and much more!

Star Wars has been building to this for six years, and "The Mandalorian and Grogu" opens this week as the first big-screen chapter of Din Djarin and Grogu's story. Matthew, Alex, and Erin put together the primer you need: Din's origins as a foundling of the Children of the Watch, Grogu's choice to stay with Mando over the Jedi, where Season 3 left the two of them, and how the Shadow Council connects to the First Order. Also covered: Sigourney Weaver as a New Republic colonel, Garazeb Orrelios from "Star Wars Rebels" making his live-action debut, and Rotta the Hutt, son of Jabba, voiced by Jeremy Allen White.The episode gets into the debates worth having before you sit down: whether some Hutts speaking Galactic Basic is internally consistent (Erin makes the case and lands it), whether the film will acknowledge the canonical romance between Zeb and Agent Kallus, and what Mando's new status as an off-the-books New Republic contractor means for his approach to bounty hunting. Martin Scorsese is voicing a character named Hugo. It needs explaining, and the hosts explain it. Before signing off, a round of congratulations to Erin on completing nursing school and her pinning ceremony. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

We're gearing up for a brand new Star Wars movie hitting theaters so let's look back where it all began and talk about our favorite episodes of The Mandalorian! Memorable images like the first meeting of Grogu and Mandalorian, fun adventures against pirates like Gorian Shard, and key story moments where Din Djarin makes the choice to go back for the child. These episodes and more follow the creed, this is the way! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The review embargo lifted today for The Mandalorian and Grogu, and the bag is more than a little mixed. Critics are either praising the film for its fun action adventure nature of the bounty hunter and his foundling or others are saying the film does not live up to the iconography that Lucasfilm and Star Wars is known for as well as having too small of a story for the big screen. With this being the first Star Wars film in seven years, a lot is likely riding on the performance of Din Djarin and Din Grogu. Ebon Moss-Bachrach has been quietly dishing details on not only Avengers: Doomsday but Secret Wars across his various media appearances in recent days. On Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast, the Thing actor admitted the Doomsday script he read didn't have a finished third act saying, "I don't think it had an ending,” and described the production as so compartmentalized and "interstellar" that he'd repeatedly go back to Joe Russo to have the multiverse threading re-explained. Then in a separate chat with the Dog Day Afternoon Broadway team, a play based on the 1975 film the actor is performing in, he casually dropped that Secret Wars filming kicks off in August 2026, right after his stage run wraps in mid-July.HBO set August 16 as the premiere date for Lanterns and dropped a new trailer that complicates the show's dark, earth-based mystery pitch with shots of Kyle Chandler's Hal Jordan in the classic Green Lantern uniform and what appears to be an off-world setting. The trailer also confirms Nathan Fillion is reprising his role as Guy Gardner and reveals Laura Linney in an undisclosed part opposite Aaron Pierre's John Stewart. Matt Reeves used a series of X posts last week to officially welcome Brian Tyree Henry and Sebastian Koch to Gotham for The Batman: Part II. They join the previously confirmed additions of Scarlett Johansson as Gilda Dent, Sebastian Stan as Harvey Dent, and Charles Dance as Harvey's father Christopher. Henry, a Marvel alum from Eternals who also memorably appeared in 2019's Joker, marks his second trip into the DC sandbox, while Koch is known for his prestige work appearing in films like Bridge of Spies. Michael continued another strong run at the box office this weekend and has now crossed $700 million dollars worldwide while the Devil Wears Prada 2 also continued its solid streak, crossing the $500 million dollar mark internationally. Mortal Kombat 2 crossed the $100 million dollar mark in its second weekend. Horror film Obsession opened very well with $23 million dollars worldwide, a big opening for a film from a first time director acquired out of a film festival. Marvel is making some changes to leadership in its comics division. The company has promoted Brad Winderbaum, already its chief of television and animation, to head of Marvel television, animation, comics and franchise. At the same time, David Abdo, former manager of Disney's music division, will transition to serve as Marvel's general manager, comics and franchise, reporting to Winderbaum. With the new top leadership coming in, that means that Dan Buckley, the longtime Marvel Comics head, is departing. Buckley will remain at Marvel through mid-2027 to support the leadership transition.HBO's Harry Potter series will already be recasting a role as production begins on season 2. Actress Gracie Cochrane, who portrays Ginny Weasley in the upcoming season 1 will not return for Season 2 of the series due to 'unforeseen circumstances,' Cochrane and her family revealed in a statement.Disney+ has begun development on Ella Enchanted, a TV series based on the 2004 Miramax fairytale film of the same name that starred Anne Hathaway, who will return to produce the series. Anyone But You writer Ilana Wolpert will serve as showrunner.A final look trailer for Prime's Spider-Noir, starring Nicholas Cage, was dropped today.

Two weeks until Star Wars returns to theaters with The Mandalorian and Grogu! On this episode of The Mando Fan Show we assure our fellow fans to not worry about Din Djarin dying in the movie, for one main specific reason. We also speculate on the villains of the film, and why it feels like the lack of a main antagonist (at least in promotion) leaves a void. Plus Burger King, Nilla nummies, and that Disney Plus special look which looks great! We also launch our biggest giveaway contest ever, ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu Challenge' where one person will win Sideshow Collectibles GROGU Hot Toy!
