More details about The Mandalorian and Grogu are coming out from Empire Magazine\u2018s coverage, with some hints about what Grogu gets up to in the film, rare quotes from Sigourney Weaver about her character and why she\u2019s hiring Din Djarin, plus with some interesting tidbits from Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni about Rotta The Hutt.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

These quotes have yet to be published online and have only surfaced thanks to the Reddit user PureBeskar in r\/StarWarsLeaks<\/a>, who also provided some new images from the magazine \u2014 including one that seems incredibly spoilerific and placed below \u2014 two of which are below. If you don\u2019t want to be spoiled, then look away now.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spoilers ahead\u2026<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of those images shows Grogu in a birdcage next to one of the Imperial warlords played by Jonny Coyne in The Mandalorian Season 3, who is sat having a conversation with an Iktotchi with a broken horn. It would appear that the Imperial Remnant manages to capture Grogu at some point in the film, separating him from Din Djarin.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Grogu<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It would appear this warlord is working with the galaxy\u2019s criminal underworld. We don\u2019t officially know the name of this Imperial, but Jon Favreau teases in the interview that \u201cYou\u2019ll like his character name when you hear it.\u201d Perhaps it belongs to a certain legacy character who longtime Star Wars fans may be familiar with\u2026<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ludwig G\u00f6ransson, the film\u2019s composer who also worked on The Mandalorian, also teased \u2014 without directly confirming \u2014 that Grogu will probably be separated from Din at some point during the film:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Season 1, he\u2019s obviously not as much of a presence as he is in the film. Now, he\u2019s got a lot more screentime. He\u2019s a lot more present. He\u2019s not a little kid anymore. He\u2019s more grown-up. He\u2019s more independent. And there is a place to take him, which is one of my favourite parts of the film, where you really get to spend some time with him and get to know him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sigourney Weaver revealed that her character Colonel Ward \u2014 whom Empire describes as \u201cno-nonsense\u201d \u2014 hired Din Djarin for a very tough job, suggesting that he might be one of the few people who can pull it off. As many have guessed, this is likely what leads him to the snowy planet where that Imperial warlord is located.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a big decision for her to rely on [the Mandalorian]. It\u2019s a very hard commission, this first one. Very tricky. That\u2019s why I wanted him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It would appear Pedro Pascal was on-set for the majority of filming, as opposed to Season 3 of The Mandalorian. According to Favreau\u2019s quote in the picture below, they were able to push Pedro a little harder physically this time.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>\u201cPedro is a pretty physical performer. We pushed a little further than we have in the past.\u201d \u2013 Jon Favreau<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course, Jeremy Allen White<\/a> has spoken about his role as Rotta The Hutt to Empire already. He concurred with Jon Favreau\u2019s sentiments that he\u2019s trying to step out of his father\u2019s shadow: \u201cRotta is trying to become his own man and get out of the shadow of the Hutt name.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Empire reports that it was apparently Jon Favreau\u2019s idea to age up the Hutt formerly known as \u201cStinky\u201d from The Clone Wars animated movie, as he is \u201ca self-proclaimed Hutt fanatic\u201d. Dave Filoni finds great humor in the fact that Jabba\u2019s baby boy is in the film at all:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI never imagined, working at Lucasfilm, that 20 years later I would be working on a [live-action] film that has Rotta in it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

At one point in the interview, he turns to Favreau and asks: \u201cDid you ever think, watching Empire Strikes Back, we would see a Boba Fett\/Yoda team-up? Where Boba Fett is, like, Yoda\u2019s dad?\u201d Favreau responds with a laugh: \u201cNo! But here it is, and it turns out it\u2019s a wonderful delight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

By \u201cBoba Fett\u201d, Filoni is almost certainly referring to the fact that his armor is similar to Din\u2019s, not confirming a literal Boba Fett\/Yoda team-up.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The article also reveals that The Mandalorian and Grogu is not using the Volume like the series did. This time, there are more practical sets, Phil Tippett stop-motion and puppets, and it\u2019s all filmed with IMAX in mind. Hopefully that will reassure anyone worried that this film will just look a bonus episode of The Mandalorian ported to the big screen.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It seems Empire\u2018s coverage of this film is set to keep delivering good news.<\/p>\n
