MUPPET MOVIES ARE A FRANCHISE, But they’re also a genre. Take a Famous Human, Surround say with Wacky Nonhuman Creatures, and you’ve got yourself a MUPPET MOVIE. By this metric, the new trailer for The Mandorian and GROGU LOOKS AN AWFUL LOT LIKE A MUPPET MOVIE.

The Only Human Actor We Really Get A Good Glimpse of is Sigourney Weaver, who appears to be playing on a space iPad in a space diner crogu, aka baby yoda, tries to use the force to steal her Space Snacks. Other than that, it’s all puppets, cgi, and masked characters, including the titular Bounty-Hunting, Babysitting Mandalorian, Din Dat, Who Never His Helmet off to Reveal Pascal’s Face in the 94-Second Teser.

This preview of the film is light on dialogue, heavy on out-of-context action, and doesn’t give any of the full. But boy, does it have weird little guys and weird Big Guys in Spades. These include: stormtroopers, an alien bartender, three little babu fear -type guys driving grogu around in a Sidecar, Jeremy Allen White Voicing the Hutt (Son of Jabba) in a Battledome, a Guy Who Look Killer Crocs, a Water, a Water, A RAT-TOOTHED SHRIking Freak With One Red Eye, and Another Babu Fears Guy Says “Good Shot, Baby!” when GROGU GOOS The Rat Freak in His Eye.

The Mandorian and GROGU was “Forged for IMAX” and Will Be Releassed in Theaters on May 22, 2026. This Movie Spinoff of the Mandalous Disney+ Series will be the first theatrically releassed feature film in the Star Wars Universe SINCE 2019’s Rise of Skywalker, but this movie takes place much earlier in the timeline, after season three of The Mandalorian; Baby Yoda is Still a Baby, after all.
