Grogu Steals The Show At Mandalorian Movie Premiere

After three delightful seasons on the small screen, The Mandalorian is about to hit cinemas for the first time.

Later this month, Pedro Pascal and his right-hand man Grogu will be starring in the hit Star Wars spin-off’s first feature-length adventure, which had its world premiere in Los Angeles on Thursday night.

And it probably goes without saying that all eyes were on one man in particular at The Mandalorian And Grogu’s debut.

Yes, we’re obviously talking about Grogu.

The adorable alien was pictured stealing the show on the event’s red carpet, with video footage also showing striking a pose for photographers.

Naturally, it was all too much for some fans to take…

Disney’s official synopsis for the new movie in the Star Wars franchise teases: “The evil Empire has fallen, and Imperial warlords remain scattered throughout the galaxy.

“As the fledgling New Republic works to protect everything the Rebellion fought for, they have enlisted the help of legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin and his young apprentice Grogu.”

In addition to Pedro reprising his role as Din Djarin from the original TV series, The Mandalorian And Grogu will feature appearances from several Star Wars regulars, plus Sigourney Weaver as a new character, Ward, a former Rebel Alliance pilot.

Meanwhile, Emmy winner Jeremy Allen White will also be lending his voice to Rotta the Hutt, son of Jabba, with Jon Favreau – who previously helmed Iron Man and Disney’s Jungle Book and Lion King remakes – on writing and directing duties.

Originally, a fourth season of The Mandalorian was planned, but these plans were put on ice in favour of making a film.

Speaking to SFX magazine, Jon Favreau explained that he had to “start from scratch” when putting together The Mandalorian And Grogu, rather than adapting his planned scripts for season four.

“[Season four] would have heavily linked to Ahsoka season two,” he explained. “You can’t just take those scripts and turn them into a movie. There were a lot of characters, it assumed you’d watched the whole show, and it was teeing up what was happening moving into [season two of] Ahsoka.

“It was about Grand Admiral Thrawn and following the larger storyline [of this era of the Star Wars timeline]. This is a completely different medium. So I had to start from scratch, essentially.”

It’s still unclear whether The Mandalorian could get a fourth season, after its creator gave a rather cryptic answer when asked about it on the red carpet.
