What's more, the established ruthless-warrior-protecting-a-child dynamic is gradually subverted as Grogu's increasing self-sufficiency means he is no longer dependent on Din for survival. "The Mandalorian and Grogu" seems to be positioning both parties on equal footing, where the two team up to witness the wonders and horrors of the galaxy at large. Knowing what we know about Grogu and how he behaves, this has a chance to be the funniest movie in "Star Wars" history. No one should be obligated to prep themselves with a three-season series to enjoy a "Star Wars" flick on the big screen, so it remains to be seen whether this massive gamble will pay off. "The Mandalorian and Grogu" is set to release in theaters on May 22, 2026.
