News Summary:
On May 1, 2026, Lucasfilm's "The Mandalorian and Grogu" film is projected to achieve a domestic debut of approximately US$80 million over the four-day Memorial Day weekend in the U.S. Previously, Lucasfilm Animation launched "Maul – Shadow Lord," its newest series, which has garnered attention for its animation quality, reportedly enhanced by Star Wars legend Dave Filoni’s influence, following previous productions such as "The Bad Batch" and "The Clone Wars." Earlier, historical details resurfaced concerning Tom Selleck's screen test for the role of Indiana Jones, a role he ultimately couldn't take due to contractual obligations with CBS for "Magnum, P.I.," paving the way for Harrison Ford. Prior to that, an "incredibly rare" Han Solo action figure sold for US$30,000 more than its typical value, underscoring the franchise's long-standing merchandising impact since Kenner’s 1977 campaign. Separately on the same day, G-SHOCK unveiled a global collaboration for "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu," featuring two exclusive timepieces and a 360 campaign across the US, UK, and EU.
