Breaking the creatures and secrets of the first trailer “Mandalorian and Grogu”

This morning, Lucasfilm and Disney published the first official trailer for The Mandalorian and the GroguThe long -awaited first Star Wars Film to be released in theaters since 2019 Skywalker climb. Although the clip has kept details on the story of the film very close to his chest, he was filled with Easter eggs and references to Star Wars“Past … and always gave us some small clues about what to expect for the holder Mandalorian and his young district.

The trailer opens onto a very familiar ship flying on a coast: a st-70 assault ship, better known to viewers like the same class of combat dehip than the original driving of Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), the Razor crest. Of course, the Crete was destroyed in the highest point of The Mandalorian Season two, which led to driving Din a NABOO N-1 Starfighter at the events of season three. It looks in time for Mandalorian and growledDin obtained a new St-70 or has managed to rebuild the Crete According to what remained of his remains on the planet Tython. The three yellow scratches on the top of his shell pay at least a beautiful tribute to his brief Naboo route.

It should also be noted that the combat ship flies towards what looks like Adelphi Base, the outpost of the New Republic seen for the first time in season three. Built on the planet Adelphi (DUH) in the outside edge, the station houses Captain Carson Teva (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) and a group of Rangers from New Republic, who combined in the highest point of season three to let the Mandalori become an unofficial independent entrepreneur for the new Republic.

We can immediately see part of this contract work in the next blow, while growing and spying on a building surrounded by imperial stormtroopers. Mandalorian and growled Take place in about 9 years (after the Battle of Yavin), we are therefore only about four years after the formal end of the Galactic Civil War during the Battle of Jakku in 5 Aby. With Moff Gideon away after his death on Mandalore, we know that there are still many other imperial warlords in the current functioning who will probably form a major antagonistic part of this film (one of them, the big admiral of return, will rather be the objective of Ahsoka Season two and the possible film by Dave Filoni New Republic against Imperial Remnant, announced for the first time at Star Wars Europe celebration in 2023).

Grogu begins to investigate the sewers with the help of a boyfriend Anzellan. We know that there is a small group of engineers Anzellan Skywalker climb With Babu Frik) who works on Navarro, the World Din and Grogu withdraw after Mandalore’s events in season three, so this is probably going there.

Back on Adelphi, Din and Grogu have a tense meeting with a new bond of the Republic, played by the emblematic Sigourney Weaver. Although we do not yet know the name of the character, we know that she is part of the senior command at the base of Adelphi – Imagery presented first to Star Wars Celebration Japan earlier this year has shown that Weaver wore a new flight costume of the Republic, so we can see it in action at some point in the film, instead of simply keeping its growl snacks.

Could it be Star Wars Without a shabby Cantina? Could it be Star Wars Without fighting in this Cantina? Who can say, but The Mandalorian and the Grogu is clearly not willing to contemplate the opposite.

Our first overview of the intriguing creature of the trailer sees a foreigner with a sinister air emerging from the waters in an underground cave (is it linked to what Grogu and the Anzellan were investigating earlier?). It is, of course, a classic Star Wars Alien: An Amani, a species seen for the first time with the Hunter of Amanaman bonuses Return of the Jedi. Whether it is AMANAMAN itself or another amani remains to be seen. If this is the case, are there still potentially on DIN or Grogu bonuses?

THE Razor crest Takes off, pursued by three fighters. It is very Difficult to see what these ships are, but they correspond to the general form (and to speed!) Of tie interceptors.

After a quick growled swimming stroke (which certainly resembles scenes similar to those of Amani images, to bind these two more), we get an equally short action with a very interesting figure: Zeb de Star Wars Rebels (Expressed by the return star Steven Blum) engaging in the combat of the quarter-near with Stormtroopers with his guardian Lasat Bo-Rifle.

We already knew Zeb’s postRebels ruling Mandalorian Season three, where we have briefly seen him at the base of Adelphi as a driver of New Republic, but images projected to the public to the D23 last year showed him a more involved role in this film.

After another stroke of a growl with the Anzellans, is followed by an intriguing shot for alphabet hunting nerds: Din Jetpacking to a U-wing in the New Republic Director. They were introduced in Snape One and seen more recently in Andor Season two, and this marks the clear time that we have in fact seen U-wings aligned with the new Republic (some appeared in Skywalker climbThe climate battle, but it was not clear if they really used the New Republic painting).

We then cut into an arena where crowds gathered, especially Din and Grogu (the old pronouncing one of the two lines of dialogue throughout the trailer, a simple “impressive”), roaring in celebration while we head towards a very Hutt muscular screaming from the arena soil. We can Know who it is, and it is absolutely wild: we already knew that The bear Star Jeremy Allen White joined Mandalorian and growled And that he would play Rotta the Hutt.

Jabba’s son Rotta was presented for the first time in the 2008 animation Clone wars A film that launched the beloved animated series, where the Youngling Rotta (mainly called “Stinky” in this film by Padawan Ahsoka Tano newly introduced) was the victim of an extortion of abduction by the Ziro to support the Galactic Republic and the Republic. Could this be rotta all adults? Is it what he did instead of taking over the crime union of his father on Tatooine, leading to the events of Boba Fett’s book?

Whether rotta or whatever happens in the arena, things go quickly against Din – this next plan of him fighting against two obstacle droids is fixed somewhere affiliated with the Hutts: this symbol on the wall behind the droids is the emblem of the Desilijic clan, that Jabba (and Rotta, at birth) was part, which makes it even more likely.

We have also reduced the arena to see that, at one point, Din begins to fight with a giant reptilian creature. It is, once again, another Star Wars Easter egg: The creature is actually a mantle after -sales service. Originally from the planet Ord Mantell, a after-sales service was used as one of the parts of holographic creature in Dejarik, the strategy game in the form of chess seen by Chewbacca and R2-D2 A new hope. It marks the first time that we seen One of the creatures of the flesh Star Wars‘Current canon!

The trailer fears hollows with a flying din of an explosive Imperial AT-AT, letting it collapse and falling on a precipitated cliff. Fans of Star Wars Celebration Japan obtained an extended version of this scene, which sees Din Infiltrate the walker and radically eliminate his entire snowroopers team before exploding the vehicle from the inside.

The trailer ends with growled and the Anzellans, this time fighting another creature: a large borne sewer rat. Grogu pulls the rat in his monoeye with a green paint dart, apparently using the wrist glove which was given to him during training with the Mandalorian Covert in season three. It looks like Din followed his lessons! This gives us our second line of dialogue throughout the trailer, as one of the Anzellans says growled, “good, baby”. At least that didn’t you look like a curse this time?

Although our first official look at The Mandalorian and the Grogu is packed with nods Star Wars Things we already know, in terms of really telling us things about the film, it’s very proud. It is an overview based on the vibrations in the film which is still at eight months, so there is little explicit information on the intrigue or the characters or, well, anything other than the expectation that Mando will draw certain imperial and growls will be cute and will make things cute.

This may be enough for some, but as Lucasfilm is preparing to take Star Wars Back from the world of television that he is largely sitting on Disney + for the last half -receiver – at the back of the huge success of The Mandalorian First – it could take a little more than knowing the references and a familiar atmosphere to intrigue people (especially While the parent company Disney faces a lot of public examination on its controversial decision to censor Jimmy Kimmel in the face of the threats of the Trump administration and the right -wing groups).

We have a lot of time to find out more about The Mandalorian and the Grogu (and for Disney to resolve the crisis that she is currently faced), however, before her arrival in theaters on May 22, 2026.
