The Mandalorian and Grogu - a new era of Star Wars
As Lucasfilm's new creative director Dave Filoni said, the upcoming film will open a new chapter for the franchise. The point is that this is not a typical continuation of the story, but a step in a different direction. The same as the first episode after the finale of the original trilogy.
Episode VII was completely different. I've been dreaming about Episode VII sinceReturn of the Jedi. Then everyone thought: “After VI there will be VII!” Where is VII? We now live in a completely different era ofStar Wars.
The future of the franchise partly depends on the success of the film. According to rumors, depending on the box office receipts, the fate of the crossover with Thrawn will be determined.
The premiere of the film will take place on May 21.
