James Gunn Celebrates Star Wars Day With Delightful GOTG Mashup Video

James Gunn Celebrates Star Wars Day With Delightful GOTG Mashup Video

James Gunn, director of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Guardians of the Galaxy films, celebrates Star Wars Day with a fun mashup video featuring fan favorites Grogu from The Mandalorian and Baby Groot. Though he has yet to join the galaxy far, far away, Gunn is part of the Disney family that also holds Star Wars. His 2014 film Guardians of the Galaxy set a precedent for the MCU, for the first time bringing it into the space opera genre with lovable characters, stunning visual effects, and a killer soundtrack. Its sequel, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, was released about three years later, and Gunn is wrapping up production on a third film now.
All across this galaxy and beyond, May 4 is known to many as Star Wars Day, as it plays off the popular phrase from the franchise, “May the Force be with you.” Coming off last winter’s The Book of Boba Fett, the beloved sci-fi franchise is gearing up for another Disney+ series, the Ewan McGregor-starring Obi-Wan Kenobi. Overall, this year’s Star Wars Day has been spent hyping up that show and spotlighting new Star Wars merchandise.
Like most people in entertainment, Gunn has once again taken to social media to celebrate this momentous holiday. Fittingly, he’s managed to do so in a way that honors his own films. Gunn has uploaded a small video that features Grogu, otherwise known as “Baby Yoda”, dancing with Baby Groot. All of this is set to an excerpt from the song “Practice” by DaBaby. Check out the clip below:

Star Wars Day is currently being celebrated by communities all over the world — fans are holding conventions, marathoning the movies, and posting all sorts of things online. Those affiliated with the franchise, like Mark Hamill and future Ahsoka star Rosario Dawson, have also posted fun shout-outs. More prominently, Lucasfilm has officially released a new poster and trailer for Obi-Wan Kenobi, which is set to premiere on May 27, two days after the 45th anniversary of the original 1977 film. The new trailer features the first glimpse of Hayden Christensen’s return as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader.
The future is looking bright for the popular space opera franchise with plenty of Disney+ series on the way, including Andor, The Mandalorian season 3, and The Bad Batch season 2. On this particular Star Wars Day, fans will acknowledge that their beloved characters have been a staple in pop culture for almost 45 years. Gunn’s little celebration is just one of the many that fans galaxy-wide will see and repost. And the celebration doesn’t end tonight, as some fans insist it continues tomorrow with the Revenge of the 5th!
