Six years ago, people were certainly ready for a Mando movie. But are we now?
The latest trailer for the new film, The Mandalorian and Grogu, should restore some faith in the hearts of cynical Star Wars fans. In fact, the trailer’s tone and content might indicate that Star Wars has learned its lesson from the mess that was Mando Season 3.
