Mando & Grogu Movie: Your Essential Guide

Prepare for the theatrical debut of "The Mandalorian and Grogu" on Friday, May 22. This new "Star Wars" film is set after the fall of the Galactic Empire and follows the New Republic's efforts to maintain peace. The story centers on Din Djarin, also known as the Mandalorian, and his companion Grogu.

Running for a total of two hours and 22 minutes, the movie does not feature a post-credits scene. For an enhanced viewing experience, IMAX is recommended. Viewers looking for a brief respite during the film might consider stepping out during the gladiator arena escape sequence or when the Mandalorian battles a large water monster.

To celebrate the release, various specialty popcorn buckets are available. These include a "Clan of Two Bust Collectible Container," an "AT-AT Collectible Popcorn Bucket," a "Mandalorian & Grogu Collectible Combo," a "Grogu Pram popcorn vessel," and a "Mando Helmet popcorn bucket."

Those new to the characters need not worry, as watching the "The Mandalorian" television series is not a prerequisite for enjoying the film. All three seasons of the series are currently available for streaming on Disney+.
