Sigourney Weaver on joining The Star Wars universe with The Mandalorian and Grogu, “I was amazed by it and fell in love with it”
A galaxy far, far away returns to the big screen after seven long years, and it does so not on the shoulders of a new hero or a freshly minted mythology but on the quiet, beskar-clad shoulders of a bounty hunter and his tiny green ward.
The evil Empire has crumbled.... What remains of its once-fearsome military machine are scattered Imperial warlords - dangerous, desperate, and determined to reassert dominance over a galaxy still finding its footing under the fledgling New Republic. Into this fragile political moment steps Din Djarin, once a lone wolf of the outer rim, now a man with purpose, a home on Nevarro, and a child to protect. The New Republic, ever aware of Djarin's formidable skills, enlists the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu on a high-stakes mission: rescue Rotta the Hutt, son of the infamous Jabba in exchange for vital intelligence on a New Republic target. What follows is a rollicking interstellar adventure that is equal parts thrilling chase, emotional father-son portrait, and a loving letter to everyone who fell in love with this universe across three seasons of television.
