The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer reveals epic battles, new worlds, and Grogu’s growing powers in Star Wars’ next theatrical event.
The Star Wars galaxy just expanded again…
The official The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer released today, February 17, 2026. It gives audiences their first full cinematic look at Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, the eagerly anticipated feature film that brings the beloved Disney+ duo to theaters. Directed by Jon Favreau and opening exclusively on May 22, 2026, this marks the first new Star Wars movie in more than half a decade. The trailer balances classic adventure, high-stakes action, and the charm fans have come to love, all while hinting at the larger journey ahead for the Mandalorian clan of two.
What The Mandalorian and Grogu Trailer Reveals
A Galaxy Bigger Than Ever
The trailer opens with sweeping, cinematic vistas that signal bigger set pieces, broader locales, and more dynamic action than the Disney+ chapters that preceded it. Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu are shown operating in environments that span desert ruins, snow-capped battlefields, and neon-lit cityscapes.
New and Familiar Faces
- Sigourney Weaver debuts as Colonel Ward, a leader in the New Republic’s Adelphi Rangers — presented as both ally and no-nonsense foil to Grogu’s antics.
- Jeremy Allen White’s Rotta the Hutt, son of Jabba, appears front and center, suggesting high drama in the Hutt underworld.
- Star Wars Rebels fan favorite Zeb Orrelios makes a return, now seen in full action alongside Din and Grogu.
Action, Allies, and Imperial Echoes
The trailer doesn’t shy away from spectacle:
- Stormtroopers, gladiatorial beasts, and arena sequences suggest the movie will blend familiar Star Wars action tropes with fresh visual thrills.
- Din is glimpsed without his helmet, raising intriguing questions about his role and identity early in the film.
Grogu, Big-Screen Style
Grogu steals nearly every scene he’s in, from playful moments like snacking and peering through a tiny telescope with Anzellan companions to more intense sequences where he demonstrates growing combat skill and Force usage. Seemingly elevated from his Disney+ appearances, Grogu now wears upgraded Beskar-reinforced armor and a wrist blaster, a clear signal he’s evolving into a more active partner to Mando on this adventure.
The Story Behind The Mandalorian and Grogu Trailer
According to official notes and the trailer’s narrative cues, The Mandalorian and Grogu picks up after the fall of the Empire, in a galaxy still stabilizing under the New Republic. Din and Grogu have been enlisted to help protect that fragile peace. It becomes a mission that leads them across the galaxy and into situations that test not only their combat prowess, but their bond. The trailer also leans hard into Star Wars nostalgia, showcasing iconic elements like sprawling cosmic cities and creatures both familiar and new.
What to Expect Next
With Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu slated to premiere in theaters and IMAX on May 22, 2026, audiences can expect more trailers, behind-the-scenes peeks, and cast interviews in the coming months. The film is shaping up to be a major cultural moment for fans who’ve followed Din and Grogu since their Disney+ debut, and a potential gateway for new viewers drawn in by its theatrical release.
