The Mandalorian and Grogu (Jon Favreau, 2026)


The TV series was rather good and popular, so let's make more money by dragging the punters to the cinemas. Don't worry about having a plot, just chuck lots of FX at them and they'll still lap it up.
Now the duo are rescuing a Hutt from enforced cage-fighting servitude. Somehow this is stretched out to more than two hours. It makes The Rise of  Skywalker look meaningful and novel, and that would have been inconceivable after all the tired recycling of stock ingredients committed by the 2019 film.
