New “Mandalorian and Grogu” Images Reveal AT-ATs, Alien Creatures & Sigourney Weaver
We just got a look at the first trailer for director Jon Favreau’s Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, and now it’s time to parse a slew of new images from Favreau’s film. What we know about what Favreau, his co-writer Dave Filoni, and the rest of the stellar cast and crew have cooked up is scant, but the trailer is nonetheless revealing. There are creatures aplenty—mainly of the classic Star Wars type, meaning they were created practically, and their variety of types, from the small Anzellan creatures, first seen in the form of Babu Frik in The Rise of Skywalker (you may remember the little droidsmith helping fix C-3PO), to the large beasts battling it out in a cage match.
The images reveal a few of those creatures, some classic Star Wars vehicles, plus, of course, our stars, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his protege Grogu, lovingly referred to as Baby Yoda. We get a still of a trio of the massive AT-ATs, which first appeared in the iconic The Empire Strikes Back and are seen here trooping along a snowy ridgeline, one in their number falling to its destruction. We see Grogu, brandishing a small monocular, as he and his mentor, Din Djarin, engage in some reconnaissance. There’s also an image of an Amani, a species of tall, flat-bodied aliens from Maridun, capable of curling into balls and rolling at high speeds. We’ve also got Sigourney Weaver’s Colonel Ward, a member of the Rebel Alliance and the only non-masked human we saw in the trailer.
The Mandalorian and Grogu is set after the events of The Mandalorian season 3 in the era of the New Republic, after the evil Empire has been defeated and the galaxy is in a moment of transformation. The fledgling New Republic is trying to protect all that the Rebellion fought for, and part of their effort includes calling on Din Djarin and his apprentice Grogu to take on a fresh mission. The cast also includes The Bear and Deliver Me From Nowhere star Jeremy Allen White as Rotta the Hutt, son of the iconic warlord Jabba the Hutt, and Jonny Coyne as an Imperial warlord. The music is composed by the Oscar-winning composer Ludwig Göransson.
The Mandalorian and Grogu is set to hit theaters in May of 2026, followed a year later by director Shawn Levy’s Star Wars: Starfighter, which stars Ryan Gosling and is set five years after the events of Rise of Skywalker.
