Star Wars series The Mandalorian makes the leap from the small screen to movie theaters in the upcoming film Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. The movie marks the first Star Wars theatrical release since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker.
Directed by The Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian and Grogu continues the adventures of Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his apprentice (and adopted son) Grogu, aka Baby Yoda. According to the film’s official logline, the fan-favorite pair have been recruited by the fledgling New Republic in order to hunt down the last Imperial warlords scattered around the galaxy following the fall of the Empire. Favreau co-wrote the film with Lucasfilm chief creative officer Dave Filoni.
The film’s teaser trailer doesn’t reveal too much more about Mando and Grogu’s extra important mission, but it does offer up some pretty tantalizing glimpses of what’s to come, starting with the casting of science fiction icon Sigourney Weaver, who plays New Republic pilot and colonel Ward. The Mandalorian and Grogu‘s teaser sees Grogu trying (and failing) to use the Force to steal some of Ward’s snack. You’re going to have to do better than that if you’re going to one-up Ripley, Grogu!
The Mandalorian and Grogu also stars The Bear‘s Jeremy Allen White as Rotta the Hutt, son of Jabba the Hutt himself. The teaser shows off a glimpse of Rotta celebrating a victory in a fighting pit, which even Din deems, “impressive.”
Other moments of note in the trailer include the return of Star Wars Rebels character Garazeb “Zeb” Orellios (voiced by Steven Blum), who made his live-action debut in The Mandalorian Season 3, and some high-octane space battles. Check out the full trailer above.
The Mandalorian and Grogu hits theaters May 22, 2026.
