Din Djarin & Baby Yoda Return To Rescue Rotta The Hut! We're jumping back into the Star Wars galaxy with bounty hunters, Mandalorians, Hutts, Imperial Remnants, and some BIG Clone Wars connections. This is our first time watching The Mandalorian & Grogu (2026), reacting to the movie's biggest moments, emotional scenes, action sequences, surprises, cameos, and ending while sharing our full spoiler review and discussion. From Din Djarin and Grogu's evolving father-son relationship to Rotta the Hutt, Embo, the New Republic, Mandalore, and all the deep Star Wars lore tying together The Mandalorian, The Clone Wars, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and beyond, there's a lot to unpack… or is it simply just a fun simple film?

This is the Way — but is it the right way to bring the galaxy's most beloved odd couple to the big screen?

Just Play It has a bounty on the Jon Favreau & Dave Filoni family fun adventure film so Nick and James bump the sickest Shakari synth track in the Razor Crest on the way to the theaters. We discuss the discourse amongst the fans, what is great about this movie, and what we think they could've done differently.

On this episode Ben and Chris are joined once again by Joel Davis from the Eye On Canon Podcast to talk more about The Mandalorian And Grogu!

Furthermore, Eman Esfandi gives an update on Ahsoka season two, Star Wars: Starfighter is basically done according to Matt Smith, Disney is still paying rent to George Lucas after all these years, and a new rumor may shed some light on Lucasfilm and Disney's overall goals for Star Wars.

One of the first potential Geek Blockbusters of the season has come (and gone) from theaters, and The Guys are wondering if it is a bust, indeed.  Robbie's annual birthday movie was spent at The Mandalorian and Grogu and his immediate reaction was: No-gu.   Jay and Art had to see it for themselves so they invested in a discounted matinee ticket and went in with low expectations.  Final verdict?  Entertaining, but they had questions.  Is it a kids' movie with excessive violence? Why was Sigourney on the journey?  Why isn't Scorcese muppetized in more films? How many months do they have to work out to go from a Jabba body to a Rotta build? The questions aren't serious…and it's hard to tell if the movie is.  But it certainly generated a lot of discussion.   Art also sneaks in a popcorn bucket announcement, Jay's interest in toys may have turned him into a Swiftie, and Robbie laments what may be the final demise of his most favorite show ever…unless it is miraculously regenerated.  Also regenerated: this podcast, every week for almost 400 weeks.  The Guys don't believe it either.

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.  Are these two phenomenal failures actually fabulous?   Find out! Watch the video podcast on Youtube:https://youtu.be/7DcNzDMNfko     

We're back! The Smugglers' Galaxy Podcast returns from hiatus to discuss The Mandalorian and Grogu, the newest Star Wars movie heading to the big screen. But we aren't doing it alone. Special guests Jordan Ghastly, Ki-Adi-Randy (aka Jerry), and Ted Beaver join us to share their insights and opinions. We're breaking down all the details, from Grogu's journey as a lone warrior to the inclusion of Rotta the Hutt. Don't miss this packed episode of your favorite Star Wars podcast!

“Heel” is one word, and it sent listener mail pouring in from every direction. Alex Kormann and Erin McGowan take over the mailbag while Matthew Fox is away, working through questions and reactions on both Maul: Shadow Lord and The Mandalorian and Grogu: the empathic link Maul's lightsaber formed with Devon, Captain Lawson's flat ending, and whether a single training command reveals something about how the franchise still thinks of Grogu.The deeper the mail goes, the bigger the questions get. Is Grogu a Mandalorian who happens to use the Force, or is there still a Jedi path ahead? What does it mean that Rotta the Hutt might be his most natural long-term companion? And where does Colonel Ward fit in a story that still hasn't figured out what to do with Sigourney Weaver? The conversation doesn't settle anything. That's the point.Full show notes and resources here.Recommended Listening: Make Me a Nerd with Mandy Kaplan**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

They are on missions taking out rogue post-Empire warlords for the New Republic and end up trying to rescue Rotta the Hutt from the Shakari moon. They also face off with Embo, the Kyuzo bounty hunter, the flat-faced Amani, and a giant Dragon Snake.To download, right-click here and then click SaveJoin the Journey Into Patreon to get extra episodes and personal addresses, plus other extras and rewards.To comment on this or any episode:Send comments and/or recordings to journeyintopodcat@gmail.comTweet us us TwitterPost a comment on Facebook here or here

Star Wars Generations takes a deep dive in to the movie everyone's been talking about. Matthew Alex, and Erin each saw “The Mandalorian and Grogu” - Erin and Alex saw it twice - and came back with very different scorecards: Alex at a solid 7 and warming, Erin filling six notebook pages, Matthew the most skeptical of the three but glad Star Wars is in theaters again.They dig into what the movie actually gets right: the creature work, the score, the Anzelens stealing scenes, the Hutt-on-Hutt violence nobody knew they needed. And they do not let the weaker choices slide. Rotta the Hutt's “I just want to be my own man” dialogue, Sigourney Weaver as a glorified NPC, the absent acknowledgment of Carl Weathers, and the tacked-on space battle all get their moment.

There's a new Star Wars movie! In theaters! Here in 2026! To celebrate the occasion, we've gathered our found family of Star Friends to break it all down scene-by-scene. Are we feeling the Rotta of it all, or is the whole movie just a long, loud fart? Plus, is cabbage a better vegetable than Brussels sprouts? What does this movie mean for the future of Mando and Grogu, both in-universe and out? And how do we feel about Dave Filoni's HAT??? All this and more!

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".

Jeremy Allen White's ROTTA THE HUTT's inclusion in THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU was a surprise to many a Star Wars fan. Not since Dave Filoni's 2008 animated-film The Clone Wars had we seen Rotta, then affectionately known as "Stinky". In that film, our heroes are tasked by Jabba The Hutt to bring his son back safely. Fast-forward to 2026, and in Favreau's/Filoni's film, the Hutt-twins task our heroes to bring their nephew back safely. Something about poetry comes to mind...Today we take a look at the surprising inclusion of this character and how compelling he is within the story, while also furthering Jon Favreau's recurring filmic-theme: fathers and sons. From Iron Man to Chef, Favreau explores these relationships and with The Mandalorian And Grogu, Rotta serves to further continue to explore this theme. A question lingers though... do Hutts engage in polycules?We also have a bit of fun with a Q&A from listeners!

The BFG Podcast leans into the summer season this episode, with a heap of praise for one of the two surprise horror hits that have changed Hollywood forever (again). Host Neal Pollack and contributor Daniel Aaron break open their wish and have nothing but good things to say about the low-budget hit Obsession. It's the ultimate howl of Gen Z relationship agony, featuring a star-making turn from Inde Navarrette and a cavalcade of gory bad relationship decisions. An absolute classic that comes out of nowhere.Stephen Garrett, on the other hand, comes straight from France, to report on a starless Cannes Festival, where studios spent millions of dollars to distribute films that you'll probably never see. That doesn't stop him from seeing them, though, and if you want to know everything that's going on in cinema, we advise you to give Stephen a listen. Pollack hasn't left his house in months, so you and he can virtually go to France, courtesy of Stephen, together.We take that back, Neal did leave the house. Unfortunately, it was to see The Mandalorian and Grogu, the movie that might just be the lightsaber into the gut that kills the Star Wars franchise once and for all. Editor-in-chief Dan Friedman stops by the Pod Dome to talk to Neal about this two-hour action sequence that introduces us to the lamest Star Wars character since Jar Jar Binks. We're talking about Rotta the Hutt, Jabba's son, who's more jacked than Clavicular but talks like a laid-back skater bro, courtesy of an all-time bad vocal performance from Jeremy Allen White. April Fool's came early this year, or maybe late, depending on how you look at it.Enjoy the show, and shield your eyes. Summer movie season is here.

Movie tickets? Bought. Notebooks? Out. Butts? In seats. The Mandalorian and Grogu was the first theatrical release we had the opportunity to see during Growing Up Skywalker's run—and what a joy it was to see Star Wars on the big screen!This week, we're covering the first half of the movie, from opening credits to Embo's first appearance, and parsing themes of fatherhood, masculinity, and bread-and-circus blood sports. We discuss the strategic importance of this movie in giving movie-only fans a taste of the New Republic in its heyday. We also sing the praises of Rotta the Hutt (he who paints arenas with blood and sets the stage for a classic Mandalorian-style romp) and Zeb, who is only getting better with age.Next week, join us for the back half of The Mandalorian & Grogu!Timestamps:00:00:00 Who Are We?00:02:45 Plot Summary00:13:15 The New Republic and Subcontractor Reliance00:31:13 We Have Heart Eyes For Rotta the Hutt00:50:32 Zeb!00:57:43 Bae Watch01:04:03 Closing ThoughtsWant more Growing Up Skywalker?

Join Tricia Barr and Sarah Woloski in a deep dive into spoiler territory for The Mandalorian and Grogu. While Din Djarin might not have moved quite as far as we expected, Grogu's journey in this movie was a pleasant surprise. Also a surprise, Rotta the Hutt's evolution from Stinky, the son of Jabba the Hutt in the Clone Wars animated movie, to a rebellious older teen stepping out from under his father's shadow. In this episode, we also dig into some favorite music pieces from the soundtrack and share our adventures at the Disney Parks on the movie's opening day.  For our video of the behind-the-scenes tour, check out our special Youtube episode from last week.

Jason, Rachel and Jesh continue the Thumb War Star Wars rewatch with a spoiler-filled review of The Mandalorian and Grogu. Is it a real Star Wars movie, or does it feel like The Mandalorian Season 4 got squeezed into a theatrical release? We discuss Grogu as a character vs. Grogu as a toy, Pedro Pascal's helmet-based performance, the lack of stakes, the surprisingly strong opening sequence, Sigourney Weaver, Jeremy Allen White, Rotta the Hutt, Dave Filoni cameos, Star Wars fatigue, and whether Baby Yoda still has the juice. Ash came in with a more generous take. Jason and Rachel came in with notes. Many, many notes. Spoilers for The Mandalorian and Grogu and the broader Star Wars universe.

Send us Fan MailThe first Star Wars film in seven years is finally here, and we're breaking down The Mandalorian and Grogu with a mostly spoiler-free review. Dan saw it opening night, Mike saw it the night before we recorded, and we are not on the same page — which makes for one of our most honest conversations yet.We cover everything: the opening weekend box office, whether the film delivers on years of buildup, how it connects (or doesn't) to the Mandalorian series, the new villain Rotta the Hutt, Sigourney Weaver's role, Pedro Pascal's presence in the film, the missing opening crawl, and what the production budget decisions may have cost the final product. We also get into what this film means for the future of Star Wars on the big screen — including the upcoming Ryan Gosling Starfighter film — and whether Disney and Lucasfilm have a real path forward.If you're a Star Wars fan who just saw the movie and want to hear two brothers who care deeply about this franchise actually dig into it, this is the episode.

The Mandalorian and Grogu introduced Rotta the Hutt as a Gladiator, however Clone Wars fans already know him since he was younger. Rotta the Hutt was originally saved by Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker in The Clone Wars. We now see him in the Mando movie, fully grown and trying to break out of Jabba the Hutt's shadow.

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.
