Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

– Spoiler Review –

After 7 years, Star Wars returns to the big screen with The Mandalorian and Grogu, itself 3 years since the show aired its third season finale. Following the eponymous characters on their next journey, which finds them tracking down Imperial Remnants for the New Republic, The Mandalorian and Grogu offers an action-packed, creature-filled, low-stakes, fun time at the movies with some surprising beats, expected developments, and the usual lite character development. Find out what I loved, like all the things I never expected to see on the big screen, and what I didn’t quite, below in my review! Continue reading “Movie Review: The Mandalorian and Grogu” →

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

August is when it’s the hottest before the fall for us in Wisconsin, so I’d have appreciated a few more comics to nestle inside with the A/C on, but Marvel only has three and Dark Horse at this point is skipping. 2026 really is shaping up to be the weirdest year for comics yet, but at least August sees our first non-tie-in release in a while from Marvel, with The Fall of Kylo Ren. Head below for August 2026’s Star Wars Comics Solicitations!
