When The Mandalorian began, it seemed like the perfect story of a lone hero roaming the galaxy. But by the end of Season 1, that proved to be a red herring. The Mandalorian is really the story of Mandalorian Din Djarin and young Grogu, his bounty-turned-clanmate, who has evolved into a young Jedi trainee and helpful sidekick.
That explains why the title of the upcoming cinematic spinoff has changed to The Mandalorian & Grogu, giving both title and character status. But just because Grogu may have gotten a promotion, that doesn’t mean that he’ll stop needing to be rescued. Luckily, that’s what The Mandalorian does best.
