Amid lots of other Star Wars news, including our first looks at Andor Season 2 and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew , John Favreau and Dave Filoni took the stage to give us our first look at The Mandalorian & Grogu — the anticipated film that will mark Star Wars' return to the big screen after an extended hiatus. “We’re putting Star Wars back on the big screen” -Dave Filoni #D23 pic.twitter.
com/oggPy4aXkt — IGN (@IGN) August 10, 2024 While the film only just started shooting, Favreau and Filoni still took the time to show off some initial footage featuring Grogu in his pod, Mando in his full armor, and a reminder that they are a "clan of two." “This youngling is my apprentice. I’m a bounty hunter by trade, now that he is in my care, i’ll be more selective in my assignments," Mando says his clip.
After that we get several quick images, including Zeb, Grogu crawling through a tunnel, a GNK power droid, and what looks like Hoth (or just a snowy planet). In addition to the initial footage, Mandalorian & Grogu also received a new logo, which you can see below. Jon Favreau says The Mandalorian & Grogu just started filming a few weeks ago #D23 pic.
