Mandalorian & Grogu Super Bowl Spot: What Star Wars Fans Want To See

When Star Wars returns to cinemas later this year, it will be a continuation of the stories begun on streaming services. While the series started strong in 2019 and quickly became popular, the third season received mixed reviews, and the upcoming Mandalorian film isn’t generating the same level of anticipation as previous Star Wars releases.

Robert Picardo’s character, the Doctor, is a standout in this group. He appeared throughout all seven seasons of Star Trek: Voyager and season two of Prodigy.
