News The Mandalorian and Grogu Zeb Returns, Jeremy Allen White Bulks Up as a Hutt, and Sigourney Weaver Saves Snacks in The Mandalorian and Grogu Trailer Good shot, baby. By Molly Templeton | Published on September 22, 2025 Screenshot: Lucasfilm Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Lucasfilm It’s always nice to see old friends, even if it’s not super clear what sort of adventure they’re on these days. The first trailer for Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu is here, and it’s … I’m going to go with “lightly perplexing.” Charming, sure, and Ludwig Göransson’s theme is immediately evocative. But there’s almost no dialogue, which always feels a bit concerning, and there’s a definite sense that the sometimes heavy adventures of these two are being lightened up for theater audiences. According to The Hollywood Reporter, “The trailer was supposed to be released last week but was pushed repeatedly (possibly due to Disney’s ongoing Jimmy Kimmel mess dominating the headlines).” Here’s Disney’s summary of what happens in the film, via StarWars.com: 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 (Pedro Pascal) and his young apprentice Grogu (as himself).This clan of two is ready for the fight! A brand-new Razor Crest has landed in our first look at the highly-anticipated next chapter in the Mandalorian’s story, alongside glimpses of Din Djarin and Grogu on their next adventure! “As himself.” Okay, can’t argue with that. I do quite appreciate that the writers of this movie seem to have realized that having a two-seater ship on which no one could ever sleep or use a space toilet was not super practical for this clan of two. Well done, folks. This trailer is packed with little teases: Rebels’ Zeb Orrelios appears (though the filmmakers still fear his true purpleness); there’s a brief glimpse of Jeremy Allen White’s jacked Hutt character that also supplies a new eating-popcorn gif for your meme needs; Sigourney Weaver stops Grogu from stealing her snacks, which may make her a villain in some hearts; and one of the few good parts of The Rise of Skywalker, Babu Frik, returns for more funtimes. Just about everybody turns up on the poster, which really leans into the whole space Western vibe. (Zeb is still not purple enough.) The inclusion of Zeb could, maybe, possibly indicate more crossover action; it’s not yet known when the second season of Ahsoka will be released, but one certainly suspects that they’re eventually going to reunite the surviving gang from the Ghost. These stories take place in the same post-Return of the Jedi timeline, so may or may not overlap in The Mandalorian and Grogu. Dave Filoni is expected to eventually make a film tying all the stories from this era together, so it is entirely fair to presume some connections. Jon Favreau directs The Mandalorian and Grogu; IMDb credits Favreau and Filoni as writers, though StarWars.com finds this information unnecessary. It was filmed for IMAX—a big leap from our TV screens—and is in theaters May 22, 2026.[end-mark] The post Zeb Returns, Jeremy Allen White Bulks Up as a Hutt, and Sigourney Weaver Saves Snacks in <i>The Mandalorian and Grogu</i> Trailer appeared first on Reactor.
