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, clocks in at just over two minutes long and offers some new footage and details to sink our teeth into. 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. 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 will also star in the film, as Rotta the Hutt, Jabba’s son, who we briefly see battling Din Djarin in a colosseum of sorts. Notably, at one point we see Djarin on his knees before Jabba sans helmet, so we’ll definitely be getting some moments of Pedro Pascal unfiltered by Beskar. Like any Star Wars adventure, we see flashes of some new creatures that our heroes will face. Most importantly, we see Grogu being downright adorable, playing with buttons on the ship, commandeering a flying bassinet, and snacking on a cookie.
The Mandalorian and Grogu hits theaters on May 22 and, according to the trailer, was shot at least in part for IMAX.
