Star Wars fans got their first look at The Mandalorian and Grogu, the upcoming theatrical continuation of the beloved Disney+ series, with a trailer that dropped on September 22, 2025. Directed by Jon Favreau and set to hit theaters on May 22, 2026, the film marks the franchise’s return to the big screen after a six-year hiatus.
The trailer showcases Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his Force-sensitive apprentice Grogu on a new mission for the New Republic, battling remnants of the fallen Empire. With sweeping desert vistas, a collapsing AT-AT walker, and glimpses of new characters—including Sigourney Weaver as a New Republic colonel and Jeremy Allen White as Rotta the Hutt—the teaser leans heavily on visual storytelling, offering only four spoken words throughout.
While some fans are thrilled by the cinematic scale and nostalgic callbacks, others have criticized the trailer for resembling the TV series too closely, questioning whether the film offers anything new beyond a bigger screen.
Despite mixed reactions, The Mandalorian and Grogu promises high-stakes action, familiar faces, and a deeper dive into the post-Empire galaxy. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or cautiously curious, this is one Star Wars adventure that’s bound to spark conversation.
