Not all fans are pleased with the recently released footage of The Mandalorian and Grogu.
One top YouTube comment read, “Disney Execs: ‘Everyone stop talking about Jimmy Kimmel! Look at the shiny new Star Wars movie!’” while another posted, “Thanks for leaving the comments section open. It’s much more entertaining that this trailer.” Other reactions included, “If only Disney could be as brave as their characters,” and “I don’t have Disney+ anymore. This is the way.”
Concerns over scale and tone also surfaced. Industry insider Daniel Richtman wrote, “This trailer makes the movie feel more like a filler episode of the TV show. Even visually it doesn’t look like an upgrade.” MyTimeToShineHello echoed, “Awful trailer by the way, I’m honestly shocked. It looks like one long episode of the TV show, and not a good one.”
Sharing a GIF featuring celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay’s unimpressed reaction, another viewer added, “I don’t want to be negative about The Mandalorian and Grogu, but…”
Some fans remained optimistic. A post declared, “The Mandalorian and Grogu is going to be EPIC,” while another wrote, “I think The Mandalorian and Grogu looks pretty cool.” The trailer highlighted Grogu’s expanded presence and teased a variety of masked and creature characters, emphasizing a family-friendly vibe.
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and chief creative officer Dave Filoni produced The Mandalorian and Grogu. The film will hit theaters on May 22, 2026, followed by Shawn Levy’s Star Wars: Starfighter on May 28, 2027.
