The first Star Wars feature film since the pre-pandemic 2019 Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker , Jon Favreau’s Mandalorian and Grogu , was shown off tonight at Disney ‘s D23. Director Jon Favreau came on stage with co-scribe and producer Dave Filoni. “We’re all pretty excited to have Star Wars back on the big screen,” said Filoni.
Favreau said they just started filming two weeks ago. “It’s the last D23 before the movie comes out — we had to put something out.” In the clip, the silver Beskar metal clad bounty hunter and baby Yoda touch fingers.
“We’re bounty hunters by trade, now that he’s with me, I’ll be selective about my assignments,” says Mando in a voiceover. Babu Frick, the red alien pointy eared guy from the Filoni cartoon series makes an appearance — and the crowd went wild. They are on a snowy planet which looks like Hoth and with huge AT-ATs.
This is the first theatrical movie to be based off a Disney+ series. Mandalorian & Grogu hits theaters on May 2026..
