Star Wars The Mandalorian and Grogu movie review: Grogu steals the show in Jon Favreau film | Movie-review News

3 min readMay 22, 2026 03:40 PM IST Star Wars The Mandalorian and Grogu movie review: Jon Favreau has a knack for lending a certain levity to the most grave of things. In the Star Wars universe that is largely unencumbered by gravity, Favreau’s vision (he has also co-written the film) is unwaveringly and dourly solemn. But, rescued just in time by the effervescence of being that is Grogu. You can say there is a Star Wars link because the title says so, and the two main characters, the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu (who is Baby Yoda), trace their origins back to that mammoth franchise. However, after dispensing with the topic of the Empire in the first few minutes, and the Rebellion in the next few, The Mandalorian and Grogu, which began life as a TV series, settles down to its own pace and narrative. And, it’s a frenetic one. A warrior for hire, the Mandalorian has now sworn loyalty to the New Republic and its Colonel Ward (Sigourney Weaver). Accompanied by tiny Grogu, …

3 min readUpdated: Mar 13, 2026 07:30 PM IST Former Chelsea player Jon Obi Mikel was the latest to criticize league leaders Arsenal for their playing style, branding it illegal. The Gunners are currently sitting atop the Premier League table with a 7-point gap with second-placed Manchester City. “When I watch Arsenal play right now, they depend solely, solely on corner kicks. You have spent almost a billion, Mikel Arteta and you’re telling me the only way you can win games is through corner kicks? It’s ridiculous. The only reason why the Arsenal fans are not complaining is because they’re top of the league. The creativity that they have, the potentials that they have, it’s all gone out of the window. We don’t see them anymore,” Mikel said on talkSPORT. “What they do during set-pieces, for me, it’s illegal. First of all, they’re impeding the goalkeeper and now they start holding players. When you hold a play, when you impede a player from jumping, I watched the game against Chelsea when they played against us. …
