How to Watch the First 10 Minutes of 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' Right Now
The jig is up and the reviews are out. Star Wars' latest movie is about to hit theaters.
Until then, video gamers can enjoy the first 10 minutes of The Mandalorian and Grogu thanks to an ongoing collaboration between Epic Games and the Lucasfilm franchise, Variety reports.
Tuesday, May 19 marks official launch of The Mandalorian and Grogu Watch Party Island on Fortnite. Plus, on May 26, director Jon Favreau will appear on the island's amphitheater for a Q&A.
The new Fortnite Island "drops you into Nevarro with your friends," Favreau, 59, shared in a video last month during a special preview, per Variety. "The team that designed and built the sets from the film were also deeply involved with creating our island from Nevarro Main Street to the Imperial Safe House and more."
"On The Mandalorian, everything comes back to detail... materials, lighting, sound," Favreau told the magazine in a statement. "They're what make the world feel real. Our team at Fairview Portals brought those elements together with Lucasfilm and Epic in Fortnite to recreate the tone and texture of that world, inviting players to a new way to step into it."
"Star Wars endures because it inspires imagination across generations," James Waugh, senior vice president of franchise content and strategy at Lucasfilm, also told Variety. "Bringing that spirit into Fortnite creates new ways for fans to explore their own creativity, building and sharing experiences that reflect what the galaxy means to them and how they connect with it."
The game allows up to 12 players to work together to defend the city against Imperial forces. Per Variety, players can spend time with Grogu and help him on small quests. Those who spend 20 minutes in the island experience can unlock the exclusive Mandalorian Sanctuary Loading Screen, featuring concept art from the film.
Meanwhile, early reviews and the current Rotten Tomatoes scores for the movie suggest that not everyone loved it. Shockingly, despite fanfare around the movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu's critic Rotten Tomatoes score is 61%, although that's likely to fluctuate.
