\n\tThe most common fan reaction to The Mandalorian and Grogu<\/a> trailer: Hey, isn\u2019t that Martin Scorsese<\/a>?<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Lucasfilm trailer <\/a>for the first Star Wars<\/a> film in seven years features the bounty hunter (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu a.k.a. Baby Yoda encountering many aliens and foes.<\/p>\n

\n\tIf you watch the trailer (below), there is a moment about 20 seconds in where an alien is unmistakably voiced by the iconic director. <\/p>\n

\n\tScorsese is playing an Ardennian (a four-armed, fur-covered species) who is running a store of some kind and tries to shut down a conversation with Mando, who is seeking information about one of the Hutts. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Goodfellas director\u2019s most memorable previous voice work was playing an anxious pufferfish in 2004\u2019s Shark Tale. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe general consensus is the trailer is giving fans some relief after an underwhelming teaser trailer and a rather divisive Super Bowl spoof<\/a>. \u201cGive the person who edited this trailer a raise because they just saved this movie,\u201d wrote one fan on X. \u201cHonestly this trailer actually did get me pretty hyped to see it,\u201d wrote another on Reddit<\/a>. \u201cSeems like it\u2019s going to be a really fun Star Wars movie and I think that\u2019s really what Star Wars needs right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Mandalorian and Grogu is aiming for a clear family-friendly vibe, which is generating some resistance among older Star Wars fans, but could very well be a savvy move to try and reset big-screen Star Wars for a younger generation. \u201cThis is the first new SW theatrical release my kids are old enough to see in cinemas, so I\u2019m excited for it,\u201d wrote another fan. \u201cI think worst case scenario, this will feel like a long episode of the TV show, which means it will still likely be a good time. I\u2019m anticipating a fun popcorn flick, and if it\u2019s more than that, that\u2019s a bonus.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film is directed by Jon Favreau, who has quite the track record for reviving franchises (launching the Marvel Cinematic Universe with 2008\u2019s Iron Man and Star Wars on the small screen with 2019\u2019s The Mandalorian). The film will be released May 22. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The most common fan reaction to The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer: Hey, isn\u2019t that Martin Scorsese?
