The Star Wars franchise has faced significant turmoil since Disney's acquisition, leading to the cancellation of various projects, including the highly anticipated TV show Rangers of the New Republic. This show was to focus on the New Republic's efforts to combat the Imperial Remnant, particularly featuring characters like Cara Dune and Carson Teva. Although the show was shelved, the new film The Mandalorian and Grogu offers a glimpse into this storyline. While the film primarily centers on the characters Din Djarin and Grogu, it also touches on the New Republic's activities against lingering Imperial forces, showcasing characters such as Colonel Ward and Carson Teva. However, the film has received criticism for not fulfilling the expectations set by its trailers regarding the New Republic's involvement. Many fans feel that while The Mandalorian and Grogu provides some connection to the cancelled series, it does not adequately compensate for the absence of Rangers of the New Republic.
