About this episode

The episode discusses new details about the upcoming Star Wars film featuring Mandalorian and Grogu, along with a breakdown of the Shadow of Maul comic.

This week on Star Wars Time Show we break down the latest news about the upcoming Star Wars film Mandalorian & Grogu . Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy recently addressed one of the biggest questions fans have about the movie. Will Grogu finally speak? We discuss what she said and whether Grogu speaking would change the character moving forward. We also talk about comments from Jon Favreau and Pedro Pascal regarding Din Djarin appearing without his helmet in the film and what that might mean for the character’s arc. Jeremy Allen White’s portrayal of Rotta the Hutt is another major topic, as we discuss how Jabba’s son could factor into the story and the broader underworld of Star Wars. In the second half of the episode we recap and review the first issue of Marvel’s Shadow of Maul , a comic that acts as a prequel to the upcoming Maul: Shadow Lord animated series on Disney+. We break down the major story beats, discuss key characters introduced in the comic, and speculate on how the events could connect to the upcoming show. We also briefly discuss the long-awaited Knights of the Old Republic remake and whether the project is still alive after several years of uncertainty…
