"Chrome Boba Fett and the little baby Yoda are here to help you forget all about Disney's complicity in a grim attack on free speech. Out in less than nine months, The Mandalorian and Grogu now has its first trailer, and the next Star Wars movie looks both incredibly unnecessary and also lots of fun. The film stars Pedro Pascal as the Mandalorian bounty hunter, with his Force-sensitive sidekick Grogu looking as adorable as ever."
"With everything else, including a new Jedi-centric tale with Daisy Ridley returning as Rey completely MIA, it'll either feel like the start of something new or the death knell for the current streaming-wars-burnout incarnation of the franchise. The movie hits theaters on May 22, 2026, and can't come soon enough for a company currently facing a boycott from fans and celebrities over the Jimmy Kimmel controversy."
The Mandalorian and Grogu follows Pedro Pascal's Mandalorian and the Force-sensitive Grogu in a post-TV-series, post-war setting. The plot centers on tensions between the New Republic, represented by Colonel Ward (Sigourney Weaver), and remnants of the Empire, led by an imperial warlord (Jonny Coyne), with Jabba the Hutt's son Rotta also appearing. The trailer showcases action beats including an electrostaff-wielding alien and Grogu racing in energetic sequences. Jon Favreau directs and co-wrote with Dave Filoni. The film premieres May 22, 2026, as the first of a new slate of Star Wars movies amid ongoing fan and celebrity boycotts of Disney.
