After a seven-year absence from cinemas, the Star Wars universe is set to make a grand return with "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu." This cinematic expansion of the popular streaming series is helmed by director Jon Favreau, who also penned the script with Dave Filoni and Noah Kloor.

At its heart, the movie explores the evolving bond between Din Djarin, portrayed by Pedro Pascal, and Grogu. Their narrative unfolds in a galaxy still recovering from the Empire's fall, facing ongoing threats from its remnants.
Produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni, and Ian Bryce, with music by Ludwig Göransson, the film is shot for IMAX. It is scheduled to premiere exclusively in theaters on May 22, 2026, with releases planned in both English and Hindi.
