Hot on the heels of its premiere at CinemaCon, Lucasfilm and Disney have premiered the final trailer for Jon Favreau’s new “Star Wars” film “The Mandalorian & Grogu”.
The project was initially conceived as a fourth season until the strikes in 2023 led to the idea of doing a film. A new version of the Razor Crest ship will appear in the film, the first big screen outing for “Star Wars” since 2019.
The film sees The Mandalorian in search of a Hutt, while remnants of the Empire are plotting. Several familiar faces from the animated series also appear.
Filmed throughout the last third of 2024 in California, the film sees Pedro Pascal reprising his role as Din Djarin and is joined by Sigourney Weaver as Ward, veteran pilot for the Rebel Alliance and now colonel who leads the New Republic’s Adelphi Rangers.
Also starring are Jeremy Allen White as Rotta the Hutt, the son of the crime lord Jabba the Hutt, and Jonny Coyne as a warlord controlling some of the remnants of the Empire.
“The Mandalorian & Grogu” which is at least partly shot for IMAX and boasts over 40 minutes of expanded aspect ratio footage, hits cinemas on May 22nd.
