Actor Pedro Pascal returns as Din Djarin, who accepts a mission from Rebel Alliance colonel Ward, played by Sigourney Weaver.
The story also brings in Rotta the Hutt, voiced by “The Bear” actor Jeremy Allen White.
Director Jon Favreau keeps the film’s Space Western tone. Composer Ludwig Göransson, a three-time Oscar winner, returns to score the film.
