Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu (2026) is an upcoming American space Western film directed by Jon Favreau, marking his feature directorial debut in the Star Wars franchise. Serving as the first theatrical release set within the acclaimed The Mandalorian timeline, the film continues the epic journey of Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and the Force-sensitive foundling Grogu. Pedro Pascal reprises his iconic role as the stoic bounty hunter alongside the beloved character affectionately known as Baby Yoda. The star-studded cast features Sigourney Weaver in a mystery role, with Jeremy Allen White, Bokeem Woodbine, and Jonny Coyne rounding out the ensemble. Jon Favreau, who created the groundbreaking Disney+ series, expands the emotional father-son dynamic between the Mandalorian and Grogu across new galaxies, bridging the gap between the streaming series and the larger Star Wars cinematic universe. Production began in 2024 with Lucasfilm targeting a strategic theatrical release on May 22, 2026, signaling the studio’s return to character-driven Star Wars storytelling on the big screen. The Mandalorian & Grogu promises to deliver the signature blend of Western tropes, space opera grandeur, and heartfelt character moments that made the original series a global phenomenon.
