Overview

Fans of The Mandalorian and his tiny green apprentice Grogu are getting their best look yet at the duo’s upcoming theatrical adventure, set for release this spring. It’s hard to believe that it’s been just over six years since the last Star Wars movie was released in theaters, followed by wall‑to‑wall coverage of so‑called Star Wars fatigue.

The newest trailer, released today, runs just over two minutes and offers new footage and details. Picking up after the events of the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, the Empire has collapsed and Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu are tasked with taking out a bevy of baddies—from gangsters to war criminals—for the New Republic.

Plot Details

Colonel Ward, new to the Star Wars universe and played by Sigourney Weaver, tells Djarin, “This isn’t about revenge, it’s about preventing another war.”

Jeremy Allen White also stars as Rotta the Hutt, Jabba’s son, who briefly battles Din Djarin in a coliseum‑like arena. Notably, the trailer shows Djarin on his knees before Jabba without his helmet, promising moments of Pedro Pascal unfiltered by Beskar.

As with any Star Wars adventure, the trailer flashes new creatures that the heroes will face. Most importantly, Grogu is shown being downright adorable—playing with buttons on the ship, commandeering a flying bassinet, and snacking on a cookie.

Release

The Mandalorian and Grogu hit theaters on May 22, and the trailer indicates that the film was shot, at least in part, for IMAX.
