Din Djarin and Grogu are finally getting their own big-screen adventure in the upcoming Star Wars movie. "The Mandalorian & Grogu" will carry on their epic journey from Disney+ but with more space battles, mind-blowing action, and new mysteries that could change the Star Wars universe forever!
We know that Din and Grogu will be back in Nevarro, where they had some of their greatest adventures during The Mandalorian. We've seen how the little guy, Grogu, made a ton of friends during The Mandalorian season 3 - but something has made fans nervous: will The Mandalorian & Grogu really address Greef Karga's absence?
Greef Karga was like a guiding light for The Mandalorian's early adventures and played by Carl Weathers, who passed away back in February of 2023. Everyone's already feeling a bit emotional thinking about what The Mandalorian & Grogu might do to honor both Carl Weathers and Greef Karga. They’re already looking forward to paying tribute to the man, because, like everyone knows, Carl Weathers’ legacy is HUGE, way beyond The Mandalorian!
There's just something heartbreaking about knowing that this movie is happening without Carl. We already know there are no words that can totally fill in that gap. But luckily, Greef Karga's influence and presence within The Mandalorian have been so huge that there’s no doubt, they'll give Greef and Carl a fantastic Tribute on-screen!
Remember that awesome statue of IG-11 on Nevarro? The Mandalorian season 3 really changed things up when IG-11 was reborn as a pretty good dude. If we’re lucky, the movie might do a complete replacement, and, instead, replace the statue of IG-11 with a Tribute to Greef Karga. Now that's a fitting tribute! Everyone knows how much Greef did to help protect the town and those around him.
Maybe the statue of IG-11 is just waiting for its big debut - just a clue that Greef’s honor is waiting too! It would really honor his life and his character arc. We also might get an entire funeral sequence to honor him; I mean, there is no way those characters in the Star Wars Universe are not gonna celebrate the legacy of this awesome character. There would be a lot of emotions on screen! And, after watching Din and Grogu navigate tough times during those Mandalorian series seasons, the movie has to have that same level of honesty and respect in how they celebrate his legacy.
With The Mandalorian season 3 coming out last year, "The Mandalorian & Grogu" looks like a continuation of the epic journey and a totally wild addition to the Star Wars universe. We've all been pretty enthralled by these stories, and with the return of some of those fantastic characters, like the droid-making Anzellans, the film might just give everyone some major surprises.
This is what makes "The Mandalorian & Grogu" such a big deal. It's about showing how these small adventures and bonds between characters have the potential to transform entire galaxies, not just in some faraway land. We’ll also see more cool twists in those storylines, those character interactions - they make us think about our world a lot, and we can’t help but be glued to our seats as "The Mandalorian & Grogu" is released in theaters May 22, 2026!
