Disney has released the first trailer for the upcoming Star Wars film “The Mandalorian and Grogu.” The views and comments are not great, with many saying it simply looks like another Disney+ episode.
I think it has a higher production value, but it’s going to be challenging to make this feel like anything other than season 4 of the show.
I did notice that there are a lot of characters that are versions or similar to more popular Star Wars films. Vehicles too.
There are AT-AT walkers on a snow/ice planet like Hoth in “The Empire Strikes Back,”
Anzellans and Babu Frik from “The Rise of Skywalker”
A Hutt like Jabba.
An arena battle like Geonosis or a large creature like a Rancor in “Return of the Jedi”
“The Mandalorian and Grogu” is the first theatrically released “Star Wars” project since 2019.
When I originally looked at the view count it had less than 40k views in two hours.
20 minutes later it has over 200k
It is starting to pick up.
