At long last, Star Wars fans got a full glimpse at what they can expect in The Mandalorian & Grogu. Alongside a star-studded cast, Pedro Pascal leads the spinoff movie, which is a continuation of the original Disney+ series The Mandalorian. Now that the trailer has been unveiled, fans got a full glimpse at the upcoming film.
During an April 2025 interview with Extra, Pedro teased that it’s “one of the greatest adventure movies in the canon of all of cinema.”
Lucasfilm President and longtime Star Wars producer Kathleen Kennedy described the path Disney is going down with the galactic franchise.
“It’s a very generational brand, and we want to sustain that, and we work hard to sustain that,” she said, according to The Guardian. “So George [Lucas] gave us the gift of storytelling being across lots of different genres, and that gives us a lot of opportunity to try things. What we’ve really enjoyed about the streaming space is we’ve been able to experiment. It’s harder to do that in the movie space. And now I think that that’s why it feels so good to be able to move into a Mandalorian movie as we’re coming off of three seasons of a very successful show. We’ve actually built an audience for that, and we gave the young audience an opportunity to enter Star Wars at a different place and not feel like you have to have seen everything. It can become their Star Wars. And that, I think is, is the fun storytelling challenge.”
