The Mandalorian & Grogu doesn't have the entire weight of the galaxy on its shoulders. Despite focusing on two characters with major ties to Star Wars heavyweights like Boba Fett and Luke Skywalker, the movie reins itself in, putting nearly all of its stock in the bond between the two titular characters. But The Mandalorian & Grogu still does do its studio, Lucasfilm, a pretty big favor by redeeming a movie character that's been the butt of jokes for nearly two decades.As the marketing promised, The Mandalorian & Grogu kicks off with Din Djarin and his trusty companion kicking Imperial butt. The duo is working under the New Republic and doing everything they can to restore peace to the galaxy. Unfortunately, the good guys aren't in a position to turn down information about the Empire, even if it comes from a shady source.Din and Grogu's crusade takes them to Nal Hutta, the home of the Hutt crime family, once led by Jabba. The new head honchos, the Twins, are willing to give up the hiding place of a key Imperial in exchange for the return of their nephew and Jabba's son, Rotta.
