About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of Mandalorian and Grogu on the Star Wars franchise.

We’re doing an all Mandalorian & Grogu episode this week! It’s a quick one and devoted entirely to Mando & Grogu (Baby Yoda), two of the more compelling recent additions to the Star Wars Universe. Did it save the franchise? Did it doom the franchise? Is it a story worthy of a big budget Hollywood film, or is it simply a few episodes of the Mandalorian stitched together? We talk all of this and more, and we’re still going on about that. Recorded on May 26, 2026.
