After previous rumors and speculation, Sigourney Weaver has officially confirmed that she will be appearing in The Mandalorian & Grogu, marking her long-awaited debut in the Star Wars franchise. Details about The Mandalorian & Grogu are still quite sparse, even if new movie footage shown at D23: The Ultimate Disney Event provided audiences with a few new crumbs to go off of. This includes its cast list, which, aside from star Pedro Pascal and Steve Blum (Zeb Orrelios), is practically nonexistent. Now, however, a sci-fi legend has become the next name to join this duo.

Weaver has revealed to Deadline that she's currently working on The Mandalorian & Grogu. Weaver even "got to meet Grogu for the first time the other day," which is no doubt a highlight for any actor who's new to The Mandalorian franchise. The actor doesn't provide any specific details about her role, but at this stage, she doesn't need to. Even just knowing someone of her caliber is a part of this upcoming Star Wars movie is an absolute thrill.

Then you'll want to read Death Troopers and it's prequel Red Harvest, both by Joe Schreiber. The former is fairly standard zombies on a spaceship, the latter digs deep into the past to uncover it's origins and is much more interesting for it. The first book would make a good lower budget movie that could test the waters for an R-rated Star Wars outing and then they could go big with thr second one if there's a taste for it.

George Mann's Dark Legends is an anthology of Star Wars horror stories and his earlier Myths and Legends leans into this too.
