Grogu shares top billing with Pedro Pascal in The Mandalorian and Grogu, likely negotiated the same salary, but he has ZERO lines?

We discuss that and more, including the Empire Magazine article, new images from the upcoming movie, and George Lucas’s acceptance speech at the Saturn Awards, where a fan (Tom Cruise) thanked him from the audience.

We also answer your Patreon submitted topics in our segment Will of the Force! For example, will we ever see Ahsoka Tano and Luke Skywalker’s first meeting? Thank you Dennis Gill for the question!

Maul Shadow Lord is almost here and we know Maul himself has changed a lot! Has Maul taken the “red pill” in Shadow Lord? The lines are blurred between good and evil from his point of view, and he might actually view the Empire as more of a threat than the Jedi!

We also have a great round of One With the Force, where you have to make tough choices! For example, pick one canon Star Wars animation scene that you would love to see done in live-action!

The Mando Fan Show is back, baby! And James Baney returns! We rate The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer on the Pedro Pascal Face scale, then discuss it in full with a big stop at Speculation Nation! Lacey has some bananas but intriguing theories, and it is clear Mando is now preparing Grogu for his future more than protecting him. It was a great chat with the classic TRB three with a cameo from James' son Bennett with a review of A New Hope! We also feature a lot of your thoughts submitted in the chat. In Favreau we trust, we are psyched for Mando!

Changes are coming for Star Wars as there are new bosses at both Lucasfilm AND Disney. What can we expect from Star Wars under new leadership?

We will also have a really fun round of our segment One With The Force where tough choices need to be made including what Star Wars character you wish we had more time with and your all time Chewbacca moment! That and more Star Wars talk, including your submitted #AskTheResistance questions!
