The Mandalorian and Grogu fake out at the Super Bowl, the budget for the movie, the Disney succession plan and more highlight this week’s Star Wars news.
Everyone knows that there is a new Star Wars movie arriving in May. However, Lucasfilm hasn’t been releasing much about it. Star Wars and football fans were in for a surprise when Lucasfilm dropped an unconventional trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu during the Super Bowl. We are talking about that and more in this week’s news edition of Podcast Stardust.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- The Mandalorian and Grogu teaser from the Super Bowl that posed as a beer ad,
- The Star Wars nickname for the Seattle Seahawks defense,
- The budget for The Mandalorian and Grogu,
- The announcement of the new CEO and President of the Disney Company,
- Happy Birthday to John Williams, and
- Reopening dates for Star Wars attractions at Galaxy’s Edge.
