Just got out of an early press screening of The Mandalorian and Grogu, and it feels so good to have Star Wars back in theaters after a six-year hiatus! They took everything I loved about The Mandalorian and leveled it up — the effects, sets, number of characters on screen, and more. And there's a ton of aliens. It's much bigger than a Disney+ production, even if it doesn't quite reach the scale of most Star Wars theatrical releases (except maybe Solo). That said, it does a phenomenal job giving us a father-son story with characters we love. You don't need to have ever watched the series to enjoy the movie. Stay tuned for my spoiler-free review on @IonCannonCast very soon!

Ready to watch #TheMandalorianAndGrogu! This is the Way!

Just finished watching the first 27 minutes of The Mandalorian and Grogu! Din Djarin is arguably the coolest he’s ever been, and Grogu is as adorable as always. While the movie’s stakes aren’t the highest, a lot of what the trailers show is from early in the film. So hopefully we’ll get some fun surprises. I love this duo and can’t wait for May 22nd!

May the 4th be with you! Celebrating with the Maul – Shadow Lord season finale in the morning and The Mandalorian and Grogu preview in the evening. This is the Way.

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately that’s the issue. I have it set to “remove after playing” but it doesn’t respect the setting. Every once in a while (maybe 5% of the time) the episode will be automatically removed, but most of the time it sticks around until I manually remove it. This only started happening a few months ago, and I assumed it was a bug that would be quickly fixed.

The next two episodes of Maul – Shadow Lord drop in two hours! And they’re so good.

Maul – Shadow Lord is absolutely fantastic. I had the pleasure of watching the first eight episodes, and this may be Lucasfilm Animation’s best work yet.   The series builds on the style of The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch, pushing it into something sharper, more visceral, and incredibly cinematic. It’s also fully serialized, giving the season real momentum and making it hard to put down.   Maul finally takes center stage, and the show finds the right balance of giving him the spotlight without losing his mystique. Sam Witwer delivers one of his most nuanced performances yet. Captain Brander Lawson and Devon Izara are standout new additions, along with Master Daki, Two‑Boots, and many others.   Tonally, it’s dark, action‑packed, and surprisingly funny in the right moments. I can’t wait to see how the final two episodes land, and I’m excited to hear what everyone thinks when the series premieres on Monday, April 6th. Stay tuned for my full review on @IonCannonCast the moment the premiere goes live!

The original print of ANH is coming to theaters for the 50th anniversary!

Thanks to @DenuoNovo for hooking me up with their Rebel X-Wing Pilot jumpsuit. It's not cheap (let's be honest, no replica is), but the quality is impressive and it's exactly like what you see on screen. Of course, it's just the base layer, so you'll need the rest of the accessories to complete the look. But if you want to suit up like an X-Wing pilot, this is the way.

Darth Maul: Shadow Lord looks SO GOOD! 🔥
