The long-awaited return of Star Wars to theaters may not have been so welcome. “The Mandalorian & Grogu” is losing ground at the box office in its second week.
On Friday, the film grossed only $6 million in the United States, losing the lead at the box office to the horror film “Behind the Scenes of Reality.” The latter earned $35 million, including $10 million Thursday night. As a result of the UK-end, the box office amounted to $81.4 million, according to Deadline. A horror film with a budget of $10 million outsold a blockbuster for $165 million.
It is interesting that earlier at the American box office, The Mandalorian and Grogu was surpassed by another horror film, Obsession. The $750,000 horror film overtook the action movie on Wednesday, and at the end of the weekend it was able to take second place in the box office.
The performer of the role of Farah gave fans a cautious reason for optimism.
Star Wars: Main Team may be getting a second season. Actress Kerry Condon, who played the role of Farah in the first season, shared encouraging information about the future of the project.
In an interview with Screen Rant, Condon, when asked about a possible sequel, replied that she had heard that “it could happen,” but there is no exact confirmation yet.
Previously, the creators of the series, Jon Watts and Christopher Ford, also announced their readiness to continue working on the project. In an interview with TechRadar, Watts said that if viewers want to see a sequel, the authors “will be happy to make it.”
Star Wars: Starfighter is a big bet after the weak performance of The Mandalorian and Grogu at the box office. This is an original story, and the first project to take place after the events of The Rise of Skywalker. Sunrise."
The film is directed by Shawn Levy, known for his blockbusters that do well at the box office. He, according to rumors, insisted on the idea of the film, inviting Ryan Gosling to play the main role. This is also the last film in the franchise, created under the direction of Kathleen Kennedy.
The plot of Starfighter is being kept under wraps, but we now have a few potential details from social media insider @FivesWalker. Previously, he revealed in advance the exact details of other Star Wars titles and more.
Mia Goth plays a Force-sensitive character who uses a lightsaber. She will be working for a warlord/arms dealer (Matt Smith) who is notorious throughout the galaxy. And yes, she's after Ryan Gosling's nephew.
There were various rumors that she was a follower of the Sith cult. This is not true. I would describe her more as a mercenary (think Baylan Skoll and Shin Hachi). Although she is related to Matt Smith's character, she has personal goals. Plans that may include training a specific person.
The source continues: “His mother (Amy Adams) is Force-sensitive, just like him. At the beginning of the film, she dies, but in the last moments of her life she gives her lightsaber to her son and tells him to go in search of an uncle he has never met. The boy is quite smart and manages to get out of the planet, finding his uncle in the cantina - a drunken pilot and war hero, haunted by the ghosts of the past."
They don't get along very well at first, but in classic Star Wars style, I think you can imagine how it ends.
This fits with rumors that Gosling's character is traveling the galaxy to bring his nephew to the one who can train him in the arts of the Jedi: Rey Skywalker.This would be an interesting addition, potentially setting the stage for a film starring Daisy Ridley.

For more than two decades, Darth Maul has remained one of the most intriguing Star Wars characters. Introduced as a terrifying Sith assassin in The Phantom Menace, Maul quickly became one of the most visually recognizable villains in the saga. What started out as a brief appearance in a film eventually turned into one of the most exciting franchise storylines in animation, comics and gaming.
Now this journey is about to enter a new chapter.
Maul: Lord of Shadows is an animated Star Wars series that follows the dark and chaotic years of Maul's life after the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire. The series promises to delve deeper into Maul's transformation from Sith apprentice to powerful shadow figure operating in the galaxy's criminal underworld.
This guide brings together all the information currently known about the series, including production details, trailers, interviews, and lore connections that help fit the story into the overall Star Wars chronology.
Few Star Wars villains have evolved like Darth Maul. Beginning as a silent Sith warrior, he evolved into a tragic, ruthless, and endlessly driven survivor of galactic history. The film "Maul: Lord of Shadows" seems to tell about one of the most mysterious aspects of this path.

Devan Coggan, author of StarWars.com, talks with Academy Award-winning composer Ludwig Göransson, who talks about his latest work, developing the unforgettable musical themes for the Star Wars: TV series. The Mandalorian" and the film "Grogu", which are now in theaters.
Göransson returned to the Star Wars universe once again, composing the music for the new film Star Wars: The Mandalorian and the TV series Grogu.
“Coming back to this universe now, eight years later, I feel like I'm meeting one of my best friends again, because I just love it,” Göransson tells StarWars.com.
Animated Star Wars projects in recent years have rarely evoked strong emotions, since the franchise has long been accustomed to moving along the safest and most proven tracks. For years we have been fed regular stories about clones or frankly filler stories about rebels, which is why it has become downright boring to follow the announcements. Yes, there is a wonderful “Andor”, but this is rather an exception. I also didn’t expect any revelations from the solo album about Maul - I had a strong feeling that Dave Filoni had already dismantled this character into pieces in previous shows.
In fact, we got a dense, heavy and truly stylish story. The authors managed to make a movie that doesn’t try to sell you merch at all, offering instead an adult drama with a noticeable flavor of despair. Next, I’ll tell you why the return of the tattooed Zabrak to the screens turned out to be such a good move and how exactly the series works with the classic lore of a galaxy far, far away

Hideo Kojima does not hide his love for cinema, which is noticeable in his video games. To be inspired by new stories, he regularly goes to the movies.
On social media, the game designer shared a review of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. Usually Kojima writes a detailed opinion only if he liked the film. According to him, the full-length project is superior to the series, which he did not even watch beyond the first episode.
I watched “The Mandalorian and Grogu” in IMAX. Back in 2019, I only watched the beginning of The Mandalorian while learning about LED filming technology—“virtual production,” but this time I had no trouble getting fully immersed. Action, car chases, close combat, battles, shootouts, gladiator matches, dogfights, giant monsters, giant mechs. A complete all-against-everything show. CGI, puppets, special makeup, animatronics, stop-motion animation. Even in the behind-the-scenes work, it feels like literally everything possible was crammed into it. X-wings, AT-AT, AT-RT, speeders, stormtroopers, droids. Almost every element from the entire story of the Star Wars saga is here. A massive attraction, crafted with the craftsmanship of Jon Favreau.
