The folks over at Hot Takes were kind enough to invite me back, this time to talk about the first trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu. I chatted with Eric Geller and Haley Byrd Wilt about what our hopes were for the first Star Wars movie since 2019 and what its release could mean for the franchise.
