The premiere of The Mandalorian and the film Grogu turns Star Wars into cinema again

Over the past few years, Star Wars film adaptations have largely been seen as something you watch at home, wondering if you have time to watch one more episode before bed.

The red carpet is back.

The premiere of The Mandalorian and the film Grogu took place in Los Angeles, which was attended by Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver, Ming-Na Wen, Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni and many others. This was truly a brilliant Hollywood presentation of Star Wars that hasn't been seen in a very long time. Page Six and Just Jared covered the event in Los Angeles, turning the final stage of the film's marketing campaign into less of a Disney+ episode and more of a full-fledged theatrical release.

And frankly, it matters.

Jon Favreau Almost Directed a Christmas Special for The Mandalorian

In some better, weirder timeline, The Mandalorian got its own Christmas special, and Peli Motto apparently played a major role in that effort.

In the new interview for ComicBook's The Mandalorian and Grogu series Jon Favreau revealed that he once considered creating a new Star Wars Christmas special dedicated to Din Djarin's corner of the galaxy. And yes, he even mentioned one great specific detail: “I don’t know how you would have done it without Peli Moto,” referring to Amy Sedaris’s gloriously chaotic Tatooine mechanic.

Honestly? Perhaps he is right.

A new mini-series of comics about Kylo Ren from Charles Soul has been announced

Marvel Comics has announced a new 5-part miniseries called “The Fall of Kylo Ren” from Charles Soule, scheduled for release this August.

Pedro Pascal just joined a very small club of leading Star Wars actors.

Pedro Pascal wore a helmet, was the star of the show, protected the most powerful kid in the galaxy, and somehow managed to make the line "This is the Way" both cool and emotionally draining.

Now it appears he has joined the much smaller club of actors appearing in Star Wars films and landing leading roles.

Ahead of the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu, current promotional materials and cast listings show Pascal taking center stage as Din Djarin, alongside Grogu, Sigourney Weaver, Jeremy Allen White and the rest of the new film's cast. It may seem like a minor detail in the credits, but in the history of Star Wars, leading roles aren't handed out as easily as blue milk at a cantina.

Top 20 best Star Wars games - according to Metacritic

In honor of Star Wars Day, Metacritic has shared a list of the 20 highest-rated games in the franchise.

The site does not have all Star Wars titles, so the site editors did not include many games from the 80s and 90s in their top list.

The leader, as expected, was Knights of the Old Republic, followed by Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, and Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II rounding out the top three.

The creators of Star Wars Zero Company published new art and promised to share news soon

Last Monday, May 4th, the day dedicated to Star Wars ended without a single video game announcement. Some were hoping for the reveal of Star Wars Jedi 3, while others were waiting for updates on already announced projects such as Star Wars Eclipse.

In the end, the only game that showed itself was Star Wars Zero Company, a single-player turn-based tactics game developed by Bit Reactor. The studio published new art and hinted at upcoming news.

So, Star Wars Zero Company may appear at the Summer Game Fest presentation next month.
