Grogu returns, Taco Bell adds Chicken Bacon Ranch, and did you score a Hershey’s gold medal?

I wasn’t impressed by Lucasfilm’s Super Bowl commercial for The Mandalorian and Grogu, but the actual trailer released by the studio has my attention.

We’re in the final days of the 2026 Winter Olympics. There are still some major competitions left to go, but I’m not sure anything is going to top the revelation that there’s no rule against a wolfdog competing in a cross-country ski event. (What’s that? He was captured and returned to his owner? Dogs actually aren’t allowed to compete in the Olympics? Oh.)
