The Mandalorian & Grogu — Did Star Wars Finally Feel Special Again? | The Binge

from The Binge

This week on The Binge, we dive into The Mandalorian & Grogu — the latest chapter in Disney's biggest Star Wars success story. We break down what works, what doesn't, and whether this movie captures the same magic that made The Mandalorian feel like a breath of fresh air for the franchise. Plus, we talk about the western and samurai influences behind the series, Grogu's massive popularity, Pedro Pascal's role behind the helmet, and whether Star Wars still works best when the stories stay smaller and more personal. They debate, laugh, and argue — all while raising a glass (or more) of their favorite alcoholic beverage and toasting to cinema… and to surviving the franchise.🍸 The Binge Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/TheBingePodcast/ Joshua Ryan's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/MrMovieGuy86/
