There is a way for you to watch 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' totally for free: by getting into 'Fortnite'

Do you remember when movie directors used cinemas to reach audiences and television (or YouTube) to announce their new projects? The good old days. Now, from Quentin Tarantino, who shattered the legacy of Kill Bill, to series like Star Wars: Underworld Stories can be seen first on Fortnite, and then, if at all, on other platforms. How could Mando not join this trend?
Grogu achieves a masterful victory
Now you just need to connect to Fortnite, specifically to an island designed for this purpose, to enjoy the first 10 minutes of The Mandalorian And Grogu. Even more! On May 26, the very director, Jon Favreau, will appear to answer fans’ questions. I don’t want to sound like an old man shouting at a cloud, mind you: it makes sense, and after all, film producers have to go where their audience is. And the audience for this movie is currently achieving masterful victories in Fortnite.
Not only will part of the movie be shown, but players will also be able to explore Nevarro, the planet from The Mandalorian, which the team has recreated down to the smallest detail. They will even be able to help Grogu complete small missions, and the reward for staying 20 minutes on the island will be… well, getting a loading screen with concept art from the movie. It’s definitely worth it, yes. Wow, amazing, a loading screen.
Additionally, of course, the campaign wouldn’t be complete without a suit that you can buy in the store and the possibility, since last month, of designing islands based on Star Wars, being able to use characters, tools, locations, weapons, or whatever you want, in a very obvious desperation to reach a new audience. Kids, come get to know Star Wars, it’s really “cool.” Is “cool” still a thing, kids? ¿Six-seven?
