Star Wars returns to the screen with the further adventures of the bounty hunter and the baby.
I was pretty noncommittal regarding Disney‘s first big screen outing for Star Wars since The Rise Of Skywalker. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Star Wars, but The Mandalorian never quite worked for me, and TROS was… less than optimal. But here’s the thing – I love hanging out in the Star Wars universe, preferably by means of a cinema, and this new trailer has put the hook in me by the simple tactic of being a Star War.
Star Wars: The Mandalorian And Grogu Trailer
What’s the plot?
Nothing really new here, but for the record:
The evil Empire has fallen, and Imperial warlords remain scattered throughout the galaxy. As the fledgling New Republic works to protect everything the Rebellion fought for, they have enlisted the help of legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his young apprentice Grogu. Directed by Jon Favreau, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu also stars Sigourney Weaver and is produced by Jon Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni, and Ian Bryce, with music composed by Ludwig Göransson.
Ah, like the plot matters.
Who’s in it?
- Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin, AKA The Mandalorian: veteran bounty hunter and single father.
- Sigourney Weaver as Colonel Ward, leader of the New Republic’s Adelphi Rangers and former Rebel Alliance pilot.
- Jeremy Allen White as Rotta the Hutt, Jabba the Hutt’s son and apparently ripped AF.
- Jonny Coyne as an Imperial Warlord, leader of a contingent of Imperial hold outs.
- Steve Blum as Garazeb “Zeb” Orrelios: A Lasat captain in the New Republic who originally cropped up in the animated series, Star Wars: Rebels.
Plus, Mando co-writer Dave Filoni is back as New Republic X-wing pilot Trapper Wolf from The Mandalorian, and Martin Scorsese makes a cameo appearance as the voice of a shopkeeper.
When’s it out?
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu is in cinemas from May 21, 2026.
What’s the vibe?
I mean, sure – I’m in. Give me some weird aliens and some spaceship fights and some hazy mysticism and I’ll generally be a happy camper unless you drop the ball completely (and it’s not like the ball hasn’t been fumbled before. But it’s making all the right noises so far…
