Happy Star Wars Day!
As expected, Lucasfilm has celebrated May the 4th with a new teaser for the first Star Wars movie since The Rise of Skywalker, The Mandalorian and Grogu.
In keeping with the common Star Wars theme of passing on what we have learned to the next generation, the teaser features some new footage of Din Djarin and "The Baby," along with clips from previous Star Wars projects. We see Obi-Wan Kenobi with Luke Skywalker and his father, Anakin, Jyn and Galen Erso, an older Luke training Rey, and Yoda, who passed on his wisdom to so many Jedi over the years.
Analysts are currently predicting that The Mandalorian and Grogu will open to around $80M-$85M in North America over the 3-day Memorial weekend. If accurate, this would be a somewhat disappointing start for the first theatrically released Star Wars film in over 6 years.
Check out the new teaser at the link below, and May the 4th be with you!
Jon Favreau directs and produces the feature spin-off, with Kennedy and Filoni also serving as producers.
"I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created," Favreau said of directing his first Star Wars movie in a previous statement. "The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting."
Kennedy added, "Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have ushered into Star Wars two new and beloved characters, and this new story is a perfect fit for the big screen."
Alien icon Sigourney Weaver is also on board as Ward, a colonel and leader of the New Republic's Adelphi Rangers who previously served as a pilot for the Rebel Alliance. The Clone Wars bounty hunter, Embo, is believed to be the main villain.
The Mandalorian & Grogu is set to hit theaters on May 22, 2026. Do you plan on seeing the movie on the big screen? Let us know in the comments section.
