https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-15/disney-hopes-the-mandalorian-and-grogu-revives-star-wars-in-theaters>The creators and cast of The Mandalorian and Grogu have been Gulfstreaming around the world since April, attending premieres on space-black carpets and headlining Star Wars fan events. To promote the movie, based on the popular bounty hunter and Baby Yoda characters from The Mandalorian series, which made its debut on Disney+ in 2019, Walt Disney Co. has sent its marketing push into hyperdrive: The multimillion-dollar campaign has so far featured Mandalorian-inspired beef sticks, G-Shock watches and Bath & Body Works cologne and candles, as well as Grogu-branded garlic chicken fries at Burger King.>The Mandalorian and Grogu, which opens in theaters worldwide on May 22, is the first Star Wars film in seven years and the first to be adapted from an online series. Its performance will test whether Star Wars still belongs on the silver screens that made the franchise one of the most successful in Hollywood history — or, after the release of more than 10 shows on Disney+, whether it has permanently shifted into a streaming property. The film is expected to do $80 million in US and Canadian sales over the Memorial Day weekend. That would be considered a win for most big-budget releases, but would rank among the weakest openings for a 21st century Star Wars picture.
theyre lucky if it beats Solo
>sequel to a.midquel TV series i haven't seen the show. i would just go see Star Wars Episode 0 or Episode 10.
Kids love Yeed
why do they call it baby yoda? its like calling any random human baby, baby anakin or baby obiwan
>>220534499We need a Baby Obiwan spinoff
>>220534499Because the green little shit went unnamed for years, and they had to call him something.Also, 80% of the audience probably really do think it's Yoda.
>>220534499baby yadel
Unbelievably funny how cold the iron is when they strike.They're about 5 years too late, there was a time this push would have been massive for them.
>>220534499Baby Sheev
>>22053451710 season baby palpatine spinoff starting from his birth all the way to emperor
>>220534499they never bother nicknaming the sneed
>>220534563Kino. Make sure he's played by the same actor for the entire show. The season breaks will be massive, but it will be worth it.
>>220534423This is a terrible way to advertise the movie, they are just pissing money awayThis isn't the 90s and 2000s anymore, you're in the livestreaming era, that means you sit your ass in front of a computer screen for 12 hours a day amd video yourself live and grind out day to day struggle sessions with the plebs, they haven't got a clue how to sell a movie in this timeline
>>220534423>The creators and cast of The Mandalorian and Grogu have been Gulfstreaming around the worldIsn't that, like, really bad for the environment? It's 2026, bro, I'm not sure if I'd be bragging about your private fucking jet in 2026 bro, you're literally (LITERALLY) skullfucking the earth with a carbon dildo, not exactly the right message if you want to sell more Baby Yoda Happy Meals or whatever. Ummm, hello? The whales? Greta Thornberg? Neal The Grass Tyson? I just don't think it's the right message, is all.
>>220534628>>220534633We should totally kiss in MINECRAFT.
>>220534566>>220534518I watched the show and he was called Grogu?
>>220534499they canonically made the Whills some wacky Deadpool fourth-wall-breakers, so they're not the Yoda species any more.nobody was going to call this thing "The Child", it's a baby Yoda.
>>220534423Awful writing. AI can do better than these jew hacks
>>220534446Baby Yeed breaks billys like Dutton Ranch breaks fillys
>>220534423Baby Yoda was trending what, 5 years ago? But the same failed industry that takes 2 years to make a few episodes of a Netflix show failed to capitalize in time, and now even the Reddit groomer Rick & Morty manchildren who buy Lego Star Wars sets are bored. You're BORING. Your gay Lone Wolf & Cub ripoff is BORING. But I will watch an Indian online casino camrip if IG-11 says the n-word, that would be pretty funny.
>>220534423they think astroturfing this midgrade show will make people go to the theaters?
>>220534423Dash rendar should pop out from behind a rock half way through this movie and kill the fake-fett poofter and kermit and take over as the main character
>>220534697>they canonically made the Whills some wacky Deadpool fourth-wall-breakers,Really?
>>220534673It took them until S2 to suss out his name
>>220534832It's more likely they'll canonize Rainbow Dash before that.
>>220534846oh okay
>>220534835yeah.https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/From_a_Certain_Point_of_View
>>220534866Ouch.
>>220534697when were the Whills ever the yoda species
>>220534423>Mandalorian-inspired beef sticks,I got your Mandalorian-inspired beef stick right here, sweetcheeks.
>>220534866>2017>43 authors
>>220534866I've read AI output that's funnier than this
>>220534866Are they in any movie or show?
>>220534423Can you imagine how out of touch you have to be to do a franchise tie-in with a fast food chain like Burger King in this economy, it's literally a luxury item considering how expensive it is now and they're expecting people to rack up even more debt on top of the extravagant cost of a movie ticket, they've seriously lost their damn minds
>>220534887SuperShadow said so, and he's close personal friends with George Lucas.
I dont care for paternal slop. why the fuck should I give a single fuck about some weirdo and a doll? its fucking cringe I hate mando and the actor they chose to play him is gay
>>220534633No one cares about climate change now that the billionares want data centers to have AI replace humans.
>>220535018i want more paternal films. i'm not actually offended they portray dads as incompetent for jokes, but it is nice to also get films showing men doing things well (whether it's according to masculine nature, or in spite of it).
>>220534961And to add insult to injury, it's Burger King. Star Wars apparently doesn't even have the pull to get a proper McDonalds promotion. Who even eats at Burger King? Gays? Gay faggots with AIDS?
>force yodels you out of the biergarten
>>220535018>the actor they chose to play him is gayRemember when Pedro Pascal showed up at the Oscars with a giant brooch representing a man's anus, but no one even bothered to comment because Timmy Chevrolet was gayer without even trying?
>>220534423>Grogu-branded garlic chicken fries at Burger King.Even McDonalds doesn't want to fuck with lucasfilms.
>>220534423Luv dat lil nigga.
>>220535555Checked. McDonalds tries to maintain an All-American family-friendly image, whereas Burger King is where chomos go for monkeypox glory holes, the ideal marketing for reddit manchild groomers. Just imagine their pus-filled mouth sores bursting as they pogface over the Limited Edition Exclusive plastic toys of a nubile green magical alien child.
>>220534423Does he even talk?
>>220535719Yes, and the Mantaborgian listens, which is what no one did. Truly these are the Star Wars of our times. #Powerful #GlupShitto
>>220534961>Can you imagine how out of touch you have to be to do a franchise tie-in with a fast food chain like Burger King in this economy, it's literally a luxury item considering how expensive it is nowyet people who aren't even middle class are doordashing starbucks at least once a week
