Discussion The Mandalorian and Grogu - Releasing May 22, 2026

I like if they make Palleon the main bad guy, who is Thrawn's right hand

 

It will be Thrawn, however, the budget went way over, so they couldn't afford Lars Mikkelsen. He will now be played by Eric Roberts

 

And his ysalamiri is simply a plush stole draped over his shoulders. In most shots, it's very obvious that Eric is operating its movements.

Spoiler

 

Dave Filoni's Trapper Wolf will appear in this movie..

 

Plagueis being the main antagonist of the post-ROTJ-pre-TFA era would be amazing

 

Who the hell is Darth Vegas?

Thank you!!!

 

Rotta being a Hutt version of Feyd-Rautha can be fun, but hope more for him being a decent person, would make his possible reunion with Ahsoka rather heartwarming.

 

Rotta being a gladiator could be interesting, wonder if they'd tried to get Russell Crowe to voice him and for whatever reason it didn't work out?

 

Somehow, Maximus returned.

 

"I am Rotta Desilijic Tiure. Commander of the armies of the Hutts. The rightful heir to the Daimyo of Mos Espa. Son of a murdered father and I will have my revenge in this life or the next!"

 

I have a feeling there will be no revenge story for Jabba the Hutt. if it was, he would have been in TBOB trying to take back Jabbas palace and not those twin hutts. i suspect he will end up an estranged son who really doesn't care about Jabba. If he did, it would make things more questionable when it comes to Jabba's estate just being taken by anyone for 5-6 years now.

 

Maybe Rotta has been imprisoned by rival Syndicate since death of jabba and he is a slave in a gladiator arena

 

What we do in life echoes in hutternity.

 

I knew a Hutt once who said, "Death smiles at us all. All a Hutt can do is smile back."

 

What are the chances that we'll see Cobb Vanth appear in this movie? Also, remember when Boba Fett said, "get him to the bacta tank!" and then there was that teaser that showed that Cobb Vanth was in fact in the bacta tank? Man, for a second they were really trying to make Cobb Vanth happen! COBB!

 

I really like Cobb Vanth, so I was down to make it happen. A little concerned that RoboCob won't land the same way, but I'm willing to wait and see.

 

My guess is that, when he returns, he won't be an outwardly obvious cyborg. More just that it's an explanation for his survival, like with Fennec and Reva. I mean, it's not like Bane shot half his face off or anything.

 

I hope this movie doesn't double-down on the cuteness factor like, "Hey, people like Grogu, let's put a whole army of baby Yodas in this movie!" The Ghostbusters movies started to get a bit silly with that, always feeling the need to add more cutesy versions of the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man, even when it doesn't actually make much sense. I can just picture a trailer for this movie showing Mando and Grogu walking into a room and Mando saying, "You never told me you had so many siblings..." and then the camera pans over and we see twenty baby Yodas all doing ultra-cutesy things. YouTube reactors will lose their minds in delight, and I'll just be sitting there thinking, "I miss Andor...."

 

Unless I'm forgetting, I don't think Reva was a cyborg. She was stabbed by a lightsaber during Order 66 and survived because...reasons and then she was stabbed again in the Kenobi show and survived because...reasons.

 

She survived because she's not Qui-Gon.

 

Darth Maul survived being cut in half and falling down a reactor shaft.
