‘The Mandalorian And Grogu’: See & Hear From Pedro Pascal & A Host Of Galactic Creatures In New All-Action Trailer
Here’s a fun new trailer for the upcoming Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu.
In a bigger reveal than last year’s trailer, the new look reveals all kinds of creatures, aliens and galactic denizens.
Directed by Jon Favreau and starring Pedro Pascal as the Mandalorian, Sigourney Weaver as Colonel Ward, and Jeremy Allen White as Rotta the Hutt, the latest trailer, per the Star Wars website, includes a new look at Zeb Orrelios now flying for the New Republic and other species including a Kyuzo bounty hunter, an Ardennian fry cook, and the diminutive Anzellans. We also see Mando unmasked.
The synopsis reads: “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”.
The movie technically kicks off the summer 2026 box office on Memorial Day weekend (May 22) since there isn’t a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie to do so. Can it beat Lilo & Stitch‘s opening ($146M domestic) to notch the best start ever over the Memorial Day weekend holiday?
The last Star Wars movie to play Memorial Day weekend was 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story, and though it’s the lowest-grossing Star Wars live-action movie ($213.7 million U.S.-Canada, $392.9M worldwide), the pic opened to $103M over four days stateside, making it the 11th-highest debut for the holiday.
Disney has reversed engineered a few TV properties before for the big screen and succeeded: High School Musical 3: Senior Year in 2008, which opened to $42M and legged out to $90 domestic and close to $253M worldwide; Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert that same year, which debuted to $31M (arguably still highest opening over a Super Bowl weekend) and ended its run at over $65M stateside, $70M global; and 2010’s Hanna Montana: The Movie, which bowed to $32.3M and made $79.5M U.S. and $155.5M global. Surely, a Star Wars TV property can do better than all three.
