The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer

By: Jake Rajala

It’s impossible to not love the show, “The Mandalorian”. The Mandalorian (played by Pedro Pascal) is the lead character, while his bubbly companion, Grogu, seeks adventure in a “Mad Max” like wasteland, after the galactic empire perished. Let’s not forget Luke Skywalker even made an appearance in the show.

The Mandalorian show garnered a 90% Rotten Tomatoes score, and 94% of Google users admired it.

So, why am I bringing up the show and its characters. Well, there just happens to be an upcoming film, “The Mandalorian and Grogu” and it’s set to be released on May 22nd of 2026. So, please watch the trailer below.

As said in the film’s trailer, “Impressive”. That’s one word to describe the movie trailer. There is a lot of flying and dangerous escapes, just as we saw Grogu swim for his life. We even witnessed different climates, such as a snowy cliffside and a yucky sewer. There was even a “Hut”, which can’t be Jabba the Hut, as he died.

This piece of work has sky-high expectations. We all need this film to get the sour taste out of our mouths, as “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” garnered an 51% Rotten Tomatoes score and 69% of Google users enjoyed it.

Star Wars can’t follow in the footsteps of Marvel by having quality films 50% of the time. The last Star Wars film needs to be a one-off. Of course, there were arguably a couple of pedestrian films in the early 21st century, too.

The only problem I have with the trailer is that I want to see a lightsaber. I don’t even care if it’s a red saber, as any color will give me goosebumps. I also would have enjoyed seeing more emotion shown in the trailer. After all, this is Star Wars, and we’ve waited since 2019 to grab popcorn and enjoy the franchise launched by George Lucas.
