Star Wars just delivered—Disney and Lucasfilm have released the first official trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu, hitting theaters May 22, 2026. If you’re a fan, this looks like it could be the biggest cinematic Star Wars moment since The Rise of Skywalker. People.com+2The Verge+2

What’s New: Trailer Highlights

• Pedro Pascal returns as Din Djarin, and of course Grogu is along for the ride—with plenty of cute moments, curiosity, and that beloved enfant of chaos. People.com+1

• Sigourney Weaver joins the franchise as Colonel Ward, a veteran Rebel pilot now operating under the New Republic. EW.com

• Jeremy Allen White plays Rotta the Hutt, son of Jabba the Hutt. Expect old-school Hutt chaos. People.com

• Action-packed shots: AT-ATs, combat, speeders, flare-ups under planetary skies, and Grogu doing adorable, cheeky stuff (stealing snacks, exploring, maybe using the Force in ways we haven’t fully seen). EW.com+1

Bigger Picture: What This Means

• The Mandalorian & Grogu is a leap from streaming to the big screen—Lucasfilm’s first true Star Wars theatrical adventure since 2019. The Verge+1

• The stories continue after The Mandalorian season 3, in a galaxy rebuilding with remnants of the Empire threatening peace. People.com+1

• Grogu’s role seems to be growing. New materials hint at him being more than just a sidekick or cute mascot—possibly rising to “Force’s heir” status. GamesRadar+

Why It Matters to Collectors + Fans

• New merch, new collectible opportunities, new variants (look out for trailers showing ships, AT-AT designs, Pilots’ gear, etc.).

• Those “cute Grogu moments” = meme material. Books, shirts, stickers—this trailer gives a lot of content to play with.

• If you’ve been holding onto Star Wars keys, this helps predict which issues/styles might spike in demand (e.g. anything with Grogu, first theatrical showings, Weaver’s character, Rotta the Hutt).

“We’ve fallen into legend, old pilot.” Thanks to Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, and everyone else behind the scenes, The Mandalorian & Grogu is shaping up to deliver exactly what fans have been craving: action, heart, nostalgia, and growth for the characters we love.

May 22, 2026 can’t come soon enough. Until then, watch the trailer, rewatch the previous seasons, and get ready.
