Film: Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu

This is all about Grogu (apparently Baby Yoda to those who know him that way) to the point that the trailer has no words in it. Which tells you everything.

I came to this with no knowledge of the Disney+ series, just a fondness for a cute character - and keen to catch up on all things Star Wars. Pedro Pascal's Mandalorian, a bounty hunter, is sent on a mission by Colonel Ward (Sigourney Weaver) for the New Republic after the fall of the Galactic Empire. There's a double cross, inevitably. None of that really matters.

What matters is Grogu - his loyalty, his intelligence, his instinct. Pure entertainment, with some nice messages for peace along the way.
