Summary
We're just a few weeks away from the release of The Mandalorian & Grogu, the first Star Wars film to hit theaters in 7 years! Join Children of the Watch for a very special episode where we detail what is happening in the Star Wars Galaxy at the time of this movie. We'll be talking about the major players, running themes and conflicts, and important events that happen after the Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi.
Will The Mandalorian & Grogu pick up on any of the ideas from the Aftermath trilogy of books? What exactly was Operation Cinder? Will the New Republic have to go to open war with the Empire again before the rise of the First Order? How will it all connect to the movie? All this and more!
We cannot wait for Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu to be in theaters May 22nd!
