Welcome to the 250th episode of Star Wars Reactions!

Hosts Aaron Harris and David Modders are back after an unplanned break to discuss their spoiler-filled reactions to The Mandalorian and Grogu which was released on May 22nd, 2026. They discuss what they liked about the film, including the action sequences, comedic moments with the Anzellans, and easter eggs from the Saga, while addressing some criticisms about the frequent cameos and Din Djarin’s helmet being removed. The conversation also touched on broader industry challenges with movie box office performance and how Disney and other movie makers might need to redefine what constitutes a successful film in today's "attention economy."

Make sure to stay til the end as Aaron makes up for lost time as closes us out with some all new Star Wars Dad Jokes of the Week!
