Star Wars’ next movie, The Mandalorian & Grogu, will completely change the way you see the ending of Return of the Jedi. Star Wars hasn’t been back in the cinemas since 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, but that looks set to change. Over the last year, Lucasfilm has announced several upcoming Star Wars movies – with Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian & Grogu first out of the gate.
Few details have been revealed about The Mandalorian & Grogu at this point. Still, the end of The Mandalorian season 3 seemed like clear setup, giving Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin a new role working for the New Republic as he hunts down Imperial loyalists. The prominence of the Imperial Remnant has massive implications for the end of Return of the Jedi, subtly rewriting it.
