‘The Mandalorian & Grogu’ Doesn’t Look Suitable for ‘Star Wars’ Newcomers

by

Over the years, the Star Wars franchise has often been presented as making a return with new films. While the 1999 release of The Phantom Menace launched a new trilogy, those films still benefited from the involvement of original creator George Lucas.

They’ll be spread across a huge area – 8,500 square miles – because hosting the Games has become so expensive, making it more practical to use multiple cities. Even the Opening Ceremony won’t be in one place; it will be split between Milan, Livigno, Predazzo, and Cortina, with the torch lit in two different locations. It’s a bit complicated, but the main focus, as always, is who will be the star athletes, and what exciting moments these Games will bring.
