Claim 3: “"The Mandalorian and Grogu" marks the return of the Star Wars franchise, eight years after the multiplanetary saga last graced our movie theatres.”
DISPUTED
The claim states the film marks the return of the franchise 'eight years after' the last movie. However, the evidence shows 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' is scheduled for release in May 2026. The last Star Wars theatrical film (The Rise of Skywalker) was released in December 2019. From 2019 to 2026 is approximately 6-7 years, not 8. Furthermore, the claim implies the return is happening now, but the evidence confirms the release is in the future (2026).
