On this episode of The VFXShow, we head back to a galaxy far, far away for Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, Jon Favreau’s big-screen continuation of the Disney+ series that brought the Mandalorian and Grogu into the centre of modern Star Wars narrative.

Jason, Matt and Mike discuss how the film translates the texture of The Mandalorian from streaming to theatrical scale, easter eggs and call backs, the effectiveness of the character and creature work, the return of the Razor Crest, and whether the film’s visual effects support the emotional core of the story. They also look at the broader question of where Star Wars filmmaking sits in 2026: between practical puppetry and digital augmentation, episodic storytelling and cinema, nostalgia and new-world building.
