Fire up the Razor Crest's engines, Star Wars fans, because the official trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu has finally been unveiled ahead of its May 22, 2026 launch date.

Over a week (at the time of publication) on from The Mandalorian and Grogu's divisive Super Bowl 2026 TV spot, Disney has given us a much clearer look at the forthcoming film.

When does The Mandalorian and Grogu take place? And who is Embo?

Picking up after season 3 of The Mandalorian, which is set between Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, the titular bounty hunter and Baby Yoda set out to track down some of the galaxy's sentient slug-like species known as the Hutts for newfound allies The New Republic.

Famously known as crime lords, the Hutts appear to have crucial information that'll allow the New Republic to keep tabs on the remnants of the Galactic Empire, which was apparently destroyed in Return of the Jedi.

As we know from Lucasfilm's sequel film trilogy, that isn't the case. Regardless, it's clear that Din and Grogu get in over their heads during their latest quest. Indeed, whether it's being captured by the Hutts, or pursued by the bowcaster-wielding bounty hunter known as Embo, another intergalactic adventure filled with the kind of high-stakes action and sci-fi sensibilities is on the cards.

Right now, it's unclear who'll portray Embo. For the uninitiated, though: he's a Kyuzo mercenary who was alive at the height of the Clone Wars and is best known for wearing a large-rimmed hat that doubles as a shield and throwing weapon. At this point on the Star Wars timeline, it seems he'll still be at the behest of the Grand Hutt Council, too, which hired Embo to be one of its bodyguards during said Clone Wars.

As for the film's known cast: Pedro Pascal reprises his role as Din Djarin, aka the eponymous Mandalorian, in one of this year's new movies. Joining him are Grogu as, well, himself and The Bear's Jeremy Allen White, who's set to voice Rotta the Hutt.

After Sigourney Weaver joined The Mandalorian and Grogu in a mystery role in May 2024, we've since learned she'll play a New Republic officer in the form of Colonel Ward, too. Steve Blum also returns to voice Garazeb 'Zeb' Orellios, who was originally a member of the Ghost crew in Star Wars: Rebels but is now a New Republic captain.

And, if you still haven't watched The Mandalorian yet, all three seasons are currently available to stream on Disney+, aka one of the world's best streaming services.
