For years, fans have joked that Pedro Pascal is little more than a glorified voice actor in The Mandalorian. Now, with early reviews for The Mandalorian and Grogu hitting the internet ahead of the film’s theatrical debut, that criticism is exploding all over again....
Rian Johnson is once again revisiting the backlash to Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and this time he’s not pretending it caught him off guard.

According to hints from director Shawn Levy, his upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter will be unlike anything fans have seen before.

Rian Johnson has finally said the quiet part out loud — his Star Wars trilogy isn’t happening. Speaking on Radio Andy this week, the Knives Out filmmaker offered one of the clearest updates yet on the long-dormant project, confirming that it’s not in active development and hasn’t been for years.
