Summary
Lucasfilm released the final trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu last night at CinemaCon, to much applause. The trailer has all the elements that mark the best of the Star Wars franchise. With the 2023 Hollywood strikes delaying production on season 4 of the series, director Jon Favreau got the green light to make this spinoff film. In addition to Pascal, the cast includes Sigourney Weaver as Ward, a veteran pilot, colonel, and leader of the New Republic’s Adelphi Rangers. Jeremy Allen White plays Rotta the Hutt (son of Jabba, first introduced in 2008’s The Clone Wars ), Jonny Coyne reprises his Mandalorian S3 role as an Imperial warlord leading a surviving faction of the Galactic Empire, and Dave Filoni will be back as New Republic X-wing pilot Trapper Wolf.
This final trailer opens with a shot of Grogu meditating on a moss-covered log in a swamp—Yoda-like. They’ve got some cute Anzellans allies who pronounce Grogu “a horrible baby.” But when Mando is captured by Hutts, the “bad baby” might be the one to save him. “This is the way.” The Mandalorian and Grogu hits theaters on May 22, 2026.
