"The only human actor we really get a good glimpse of is Sigourney Weaver, who appears to be playing on a space iPad in a space diner when Grogu, a.k.a. Baby Yoda, tries to use the Force to steal her bowl of space snacks. Other than that, it's all puppets, CGI, and masked characters, including the titular bounty-hunting, babysitting Mandalorian, Din Djarin, who never once takes his helmet off to reveal Pedro Pascal's face in the 94-second teaser."
"But boy, does it have weird little guys and weird big guys in spades. These include: stormtroopers, an alien bartender, three little Babu Frik-type guys driving Grogu around in a sidecar, Jeremy Allen White voicing Rotto the Hutt (son of Jabba) in a battledome, a guy who looks like Killer Croc, a water monster in a hoodie, a rat-toothed shrieking freak with one red eye, and another Babu Frik guy who says "Good shot, baby!" when Grogu goos the rat freak in his eye."
"The Mandalorian and Grogu was "forged for Imax" and will be released in theaters on May 22, 2026. This movie spinoff of the Mandalorian Disney+ series will be the first theatrically released feature film in the Star Wars universe since 2019's Rise of Skywalker, but this film takes place much earlier in the timeline, after season three of The Mandalorian; Baby Yoda is still a baby, after all."
The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer resembles a Muppet movie by centering a human among many nonhuman creatures. Sigourney Weaver appears briefly playing on a space iPad in a diner while Grogu attempts to steal her snacks using the Force. The rest of the cast consists mainly of puppets, CGI, and masked characters, including Din Djarin, who never removes his helmet in the 94-second teaser. The preview emphasizes action over dialogue and reveals little plot. The teaser showcases a wide variety of creatures: stormtroopers, aliens, Babu Frik-like figures, Rotto the Hutt voiced by Jeremy Allen White. The film opens in IMAX on May 22, 2026, and occurs after season three.
