The Mandalorian and Grogu is right around the corner, and the father son duo we know and love from the small screen is finally making the jump to theaters.
Naturally, that means the film can go bigger than the show, and, at the UK Fan Event for The Mandalorian and Grogu, attended by GamesRadar+, producer and former Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy expanded on what that means.
"It's entirely on a different level," Kennedy said, when asked about the scale of the movie compared to the Disney Plus show. "And I think that's what excited us when we realized that we had the opportunity to put this on the big screen, and now we get to put it on IMAX, which makes it even bigger. And I think that we knew as we were creating the series that there was a real opportunity to expand this in a way that we couldn't even imagine, and we pulled together some of the most incredible people inside of ILM, Industrial Light & Magic, who has done all the Star Wars movies. They have done extraordinary work.

"And I think what I've been so amazed at in working with Jon is that he is incredibly innovative in terms of taking technology and cinema and moving into the next level, much like what George Lucas did," she added. "And I think that's what you'll see with this movie, is it deserves, and needed, to be on the big screen, and it is, and it's extraordinary."
Of course, The Mandalorian and Grogu is the first Star Wars film in seven years, so it's no surprise that the movie is going big.
The film arrives this May 22. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming Star Wars movies and shows for everything else the galaxy far, far away has in store.
