‘The Mandalorian & Grogu’ Teases New Footage Of Sigourney Weaver & Jeremy Allen White — Star Wars Celebration​on April 18, 2025 at 2:13 am

Director Jon Favreau, Pedro Pascal and Sigourney Weaver took the stage at Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo today to show off more footage from their upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu.

For some time, all we knew is that the new movie will bring the bounty hunter and baby Yoda on a standalone mission.

In the new footage, Weaver’s character is teased, along with some action-packed battle scenes against stormtroopers. Fans also get a first glimpse at Jeremy Allen White as Jabba’s son Rotta the Hutt.

The last time we caught footage of movie which isn’t due for release until May 22, 2026 was at D23 in Anaheim back in August. That clip showed the return of The Empire Strikes Back‘s AT-ATs stomping in the snow, the crazy voiced tiny alien tech Babu Frick from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and red alien, pointy eared Zeb from Filoni’s animated series Star Wars: Rebels.

The Mandalorian and Grogu is the first Star Wars feature since Rise of Skywalker six years ago. Originally Lucasfilm had a plan to do standalone movies based on core canon characters, but with the tanking of Solo: A Star Wars Story, they pivoted, expanding the Star Wars universe on Disney+ and significantly taking a more patient approach to developing future Star Wars movies.
