The signing of Weaver not only brings a heavyweight figure to the film, but also reinforces Disney’s commitment to revive the Star Wars saga on the big screen after several years of focusing on the television format. Since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in 2019, the franchise had focused on series, but the arrival of an actress of Weaver’s caliber indicates that The Mandalorian & Grogu will be an ambitious project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
