Someone at Hyundai has been watching The Mandalorian. The automaker has revealed its new Mobile Eccentric Droid or MobED. It looks like a wheeled version of the crib Baby Yoda* uses in the incredibly popular Disney+ series The Mandalorian. However, there are some key differences. Most notably, the baby hauling carriage has a frame and wheels rather than floating around as the crib does in the show.
This week casting has leaked for two key characters in the upcoming series of shows for Disney+, including Ahsoka and a potential Thrawn/Ezra standalone series. A report this week goes into detail on how two actors have apparently been locked in as actors for a future show or shows in the Star Wars universe, almost certainly set in the years during and immediately after what we've seen in The Mandalorian. We got a great big teaser about this future in The Mandalorian Season 2, Episode 5 - now it's time to get slightly more specific.
When the credits rolled for the final episode of The Mandalorian Season 2, there was a bit of confusion from fans. It was suggested in the post-credits sequence that The Book of Boba Fett would be released - but didn't specifically say whether said show would be its own entity, or if it'd just be The Mandalorian Season 3. Further confusion ensued as rumors spread that characters from one show would appear in the other.
Today we're going to take a peek at how and why LEGO was the first company to release a Boba Fett's Starship without the name "Slave I" attached. We're also going to take a peek at a few other examples of times when Star Wars toys had their names changed, their names switched, or their characters removed from movies entirely!
The Book of Boba Fett television show from Disney+ had a bit of a leak this week. In a set of images posted by a behind-the-scenes worker on the show we've caught a glimpse of the future. Stickers are shown having just been printed with three different angles on the show, one of which effectively confirms Disney's plans to release more than one "season" of the show.
The song was written and performed by MC Chris, and it's called Fett's Vette. The leak is related to The Book of Boba Fett, and it connects in a shockingly silly and entertaining way to the lyrics of the song. The song was originally released on an album in the year 2001 - so it's not as if MC Chris knew he'd be predicting the future - but such is the way of things.
A report released today suggested Indira Varma was cast for a part in the Disney+ live-action Star Wars series Obi-Wan Kenobi. Varma is best known for her role as Ellaria Sand, partner to Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones. Oberyn Martell was played by Pedro Pascal, an actor cast for one of the biggest roles in Star Wars history: Din Djarin, The Mandalorian.
We've spoken at length about what we're expecting from several of the new Disney+ shows coming up in the next few years. Today, it would seem, one or more of our theories about the future of the Star Wars universe is far, far more likely. Rumors this week suggest that not only will Ezra Bridger appear in the Star Wars: Ahsoka series - they already seem to have their actor in place to play the part!
Today we're going to talk about the future of The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda, aka Grogu. If you've not already seen the first two seasons of The Mandalorian, I suggest you turn back now.

Today we're taking a peek at Mando's Bounty, the most strangely appealing update to Fortnite yet revealed.

This week Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal answered a few questions about the future of Star Wars. Given the tail end of the Mandalorian Season 2, questions about the character's past were inevitable. According to Pascal, "as much as he says this is the way, that doesn't mean this is the only way."
