Last night Matt went live for a full scene-by-scene breakdown of the first trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu.

While Rotta the Hutt and the underworld grab immediate attention, this doesn’t look like a simple bounty hunter movie. The bigger question is whether the Hutts are operating independently — or working with the fractured remnants of the Empire.

We discuss:

• Why the Hutts may be tied to Imperial warlords

• Whether the New Republic might need something from Rotta

• The Shadow Council connections from The Mandalorian Season 3

• The warlord seen in the trailer and what that implies

• Why fans don’t want “just a Hutt movie”

• Din Djarin’s role in a fragile New Republic era

If this film continues the Shadow Council storyline, it could be setting up something much larger in the post-Return of the Jedi era.

The Mandalorian & Grogu opens exclusively in theaters May 22, 2026.

This week’s solo livestream dives into the latest Star Wars news and a data-driven breakdown that might change how you view the saga.

First up, we cover a new update on the long-quiet Rogue Squadron film, including comments from screenwriter Matthew Robinson and what they may signal about the project’s status at Lucasfilm.

Then we examine a reported Ahsoka Season 2 leak involving a Dathomir set build and what that could mean for the direction of the series. Why return to Dathomir? And what does it say about where the story is headed?

For the main topic, we shift from rumors to raw numbers.

Using screen time data from the Star Wars movies, we break down the 10 characters with the most total screen time in the Skywalker Saga. Some placements are exactly what you’d expect. Others might surprise you. The results spark a bigger question: who really drives Star Wars when you look at the franchise objectively?

If you enjoy Star Wars news, thoughtful analysis, and structured debates, this one’s for you.

This week on the Star Wars Time Show, Matt is joined by Young Nick for a pre-recorded episode packed with Star Wars news, rumors, and leaked set photo discussion.

We start with Ahsoka Season 2, where newly surfaced set images appear to show massive, ancient mechanical remains scattered across Peridea. If the photos are legit, they may hint at a long-forgotten war that left the galaxy largely lifeless, outside of the Great Witches seen in stasis during Season 1. We also discuss a separate rumored image tied to the Mortis Gods and what that could mean for how deep Season 2 might go into Force mythology.

From there, we shift to confirmed news, including reports that the upcoming Starfighter film will feature no legacy characters at all, signaling a major creative departure for theatrical Star Wars.

We also hit on podracing officially returning in the upcoming Galactic Racer game and break down the first preview of the Maul prequel comic Shadow of Maul, which explores Maul’s past ahead of the animated series Maul: Shadow Lord.

As always, we separate fact from speculation, flag rumors clearly, and try to connect the dots without going full tinfoil.
