Sigourney Weaver set for a galaxy far, far away in The Mandalorian & Grogu

It will be a day long remembered…

It looks like one of favourite actresses/people/legends of all time, Sigourney Weaver, is set to head to a galaxy far, far away!

The star of Ghostbusters, Aliens, Cabin in the Woods, Galaxy Quest and so, so much more is in talks to join Jon Favreau’s big-screen Star Wars debut, The Mandalorian & Grogu which is, we’re hearing, getting ready to film very, very soon.

We have no word on what role Weaver is set to play as of now as very little is known about the movie which is based on The Mandalorian series on Disney+ and the movie is expected to pick up from the third series with likely connections to The Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka or, as it’s become known, the Mandoverse.

Pedro Pascal is fully expected to return as [the voice of] Din Djarin, the Mandalorian of the title but as for who else will appear? It’s unclear… though I’ve heard rumours that we could see Mark Hamill return as Luke Skywalker [or the digital Luke at least] providing he can take time off from his busy political tweeting schedule.

I’m very excited by the idea of Weaver coming into the Star Wars universe and can’t wait to see what her role will be… as long as they dont’ do her dirty like they did Christopher Lloyd in season three.

Thoughts? I wanna hear them…

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
