Premiering in 2019, “The Mandalorian” was the first live-action “Star Wars” series ever made. Now, the story of the bounty hunter and his young companion is continuing as a feature film – the first big-screen “Star Wars” adventure since the conclusion of the most recent trilogy. Many fans, including myself, are thrilled to see Grogu, known for his cute personality, taking a more central role alongside Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin. The movie will also introduce new characters played by Sigourney Weaver, as a former rebel pilot, and Jeremy Allen White, as the adult version of Jabba the Hutt’s son, Rotta, who first appeared as a baby in the animated series “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.” — Tracy Brown
