Star Wars is back in theaters for the first time in seven years — but did it need to be? In this episode, we break down The Mandalorian and Grogu, Jon Favreau's big-screen continuation of the Clan of Two. Din Djarin is working for the New Republic now, hunting Imperial warlords across the Outer Rim — until a job for the Hutts pulls him and Grogu into the galactic underworld.

We talk about what works, what feels like an extended TV episode, and whether the jump to theaters actually earns the ticket price. Plus: Rotta the Hutt's live-action debut, the Zeb Orrelios crossover, Embo's return from The Clone Wars, and yes, that Martin Scorsese casting.

Star Wars Legends deep dive continues! In Part 2 of our Cuy'val Dar episode, we put names and faces to "those who no longer exist" — the individual instructors Jango Fett hand-picked to train the Republic's clone commandos on Kamino. We profile Mandalorian legends like Kal Skirata , Walon Vau, Mij Gilamar, Rav Bralor, Vhonte Tervho, plus non-Mandalorian trainers Cort Davin and Kligson and the Death Watch-aligned extremists Dred Priest and Isabet Reau. From paternal mentors and battlefield medics to brutal survivalists and ideological zealots, discover how these Expanded Universe figures shaped clone identity, Mandalorian culture, and the elite soldiers of the Clone Wars.

The Cuy'val Dar were the one hundred trainers — seventy-five of them Mandalorians — handpicked by Jango Fett to forge the Republic's clone commandos in secret on Kamino. In this Star Wars Legends deep dive, Star Lores explores "those who no longer exist": Kal Skirata, Walon Vau, Mij Gilamar, Rav Bralor, and the mercenaries, bounty hunters, and assassins who shaped clone individuality, Mandalorian culture, and the elite soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic. From the Republic Commando saga and the Clone Wars to Kyrimorut, Death Watch, and the legacy that echoed into the Yuuzhan Vong War, we break down the men and women who built an army and vanished.
