Mando and Grogu?

[Nicnc1203]

Hi! We will be at WDW in less than 2 weeks(wheeeee). Does anyone know if Mando and Grogu are still making daily appearances? If so, do they post times or is it a crap shoot?

 

[Dcgc28]

We met them March 23rd. No announcements or anything we just kind of walked around until we found them. I’d assume it’s still daily until at least the season ends

 

[MadderAdder]

I believe it’s top of the hour for 10-20 minutes, until 5 pm. In the marketplace.

Every time I've seen them they come out of the same door, its the door set in the rock wall next to the marketplace. If you're walking from Rise it's right before the Marketplace entrace.

Wish they could give us times

I really hope to see them!

was just there and yes... appeared there first and then walked down to Rise area. I was wearing Deathstar ears and saw him and went over to the group... the person playing Mando was so good, the voice was spot on, and Grogu was so cute, head moving and eyes blinking.... Din called me over and told me there was a bounty on my head and that I was very lucky he didn't take it, but I should be careful as someone else DID take my bounty. It was a fun interaction, LOL... this over 50's fan was all giddy.... I was in fangrrl heaven

That sounds like so much fun!

Does anyone know if they are still there? We will be there next week and they are the only characters I will cry if I don't see!

 

[PalmettoPath]

They were a few weeks ago...haven't heard otherwise. It is a crapshoot though. We waited for 45 minutes once and nothing. Finally gave up that time. There were quite a few other people rather conspicuously waiting around as well.

 

[Chirple]

We were there on 5/8. I found the location where they come out (more of a large alcove). I could tell others were waiting, too. They came out at 3:15 and stayed there until 3:28. They did not leave that spot.

My husband wanted to see them, but he was meeting me later so I came back at around 4. They came out at 4:11 and stayed until 4:30 (husband had joined by then). Again, they stayed in that one spot.

They were there yesterday.

Disney has stated they aren't planning on getting rid of them any time soon. I think you'd have a better chance of not being around at the time they are than them being pulled. In two trips with multiple days in Batuu I have yet to see Kylo.

Really? That’s disappointing. I thought Kylo came out throughout the day?

He does but I think it’s a right place at the right time kind of deal.

For example when we were there last July we just happened to be taking pictures of the First Order ship when he suddenly came by from behind us with some Stormtroopers escorting him and he started to question me about being a resistance sympathiser because of my Ahsoka ears. When we were there in November though it was the first day that the stage show by the First Order ship returned and after the little show they do there he went down into the crowd and was roaming around there doing his route. I don’t know if there’s a set schedule but a lot of the characters occupying Batuu I’ve only ever seen by chance as they’ve been walking by in the direction I was going in (like Rey, Chewie & Vi).

Why is the first time I’m learning about this - I’m a HUGE Grogu fan

 

[PolymerSkywalker]

I think Disney has a huge opportunity with Mando and Grogu here. These characters are way more popular then Rey or Kylo are, so l feel like they need to get more featured spots / times in the parks.

The end of Mando season 2 when Luke comes back, is the best Star Wars content of any kind produced since Disney purchased Lucas Films. If Disney is smart they will abandon the Rey story line and focus on what the fandom seems to want, and that is Mando, Grogu, and Luke

Except for the fact we're getting at least one new movie focused on Rey restarting the Jedi Order.

 

[PolymerSkywalker]

Based on what I have read though, Rey will be a secondary character with the story focusing on the new Jedi trainees. Rey is just not a very popular character, don't shoot the messenger, it's just true. Don't believe me, look at action figure sales of Rey compared to Luke & Vader....... or even mando action figures greatly outsell Rey stuff.

She was just too perfect a character with no flaws or failures. People don't relate to perfect characters who are the best ever at anything they try to do. People love Luke because he failed and got back up multiple times.

If I'm going to compare action figure sales for a female figure, then I'll compare it to another female figure. I'm just saying no need to kick all of the sequel characters out of the park. Sure, it may not be your thing as an adult, but they're some kids' favorite character. Also, the world can use some more female leads when it comes to storylines.
