‘Star Wars’ franchise drops trailer of ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’: watch

The Star Wars universe is returning to big screen after six years with Jon Favreau directed film, The Mandalorian & Grogu.

The upcoming film stars Pedro Pascal as masked Mandalorian character, who is accompanied by his adorable sidekick Grogu (better known as Baby Yoda).

The cast also includes Sigourney Weaver as a fighter pilot, Jeremy Allen White as Jabba the Hutt’s son Rotta and Jonny Coyne as an imperial warlord.

The movie is a spin-off of TV's The Mandalorian and picks up after the events in the Disney+ series' third season, which aired in 2023.

In the trailer, The Mandalorian & Grogu meet Weaver and White’s characters and fight a variety of evil robots and sci-fi beasts. There are also cameos from the Rise of Skywalker alien race of Babu Frik and Zeb Orrelios from Star Wars Rebels.

The logline of the film states, "The evil Empire has fallen, and Imperial warlords remain scattered throughout the galaxy. As the fledgling New Republic works to protect everything the Rebellion fought for, they have enlisted the help of legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin and his young apprentice Grogu."

As per Variety when the film was first announced, Favreau said about the franchise, "I have loved telling stories set in the rich world that George Lucas created. The prospect of bringing the Mandalorian and his apprentice Grogu to the big screen is extremely exciting."

Alongside directing the film Favreau is also producing the film.

The Mandalorian & Grogu is set to release on May 22.
