The Mandalorian & Grogu is now just about a month away, and the hype is starting for real. Director and Mando creator Jon Favreau was on Jimmy Kimmel Live! recently to promote the upcoming Star Wars adventure, and shared the very first clip. It shows Din Djarin in a high-speed chase, with a prisoner in tow. And with him is Zeb from Star Wars Rebels, who looks to have a substantial role in the film. Little Grogu is on the Razor Crest, (goodbye, N1-Starfighter), and he’s trying to help his bounty huntin’ daddy. But let’s just say, he’s having a hard time following directions. You can watch the first The Mandalorian & Grogu clip below:
In the scene, Mando is driving away in a speeder. And it kind of looks like a blue version of Luke’s Tatooine landspeeder from A New Hope. They are being shot at by some bad guys, with Zeb in the backseat, shooting blaster fire right back. Mando tries to get Grogu to help from the Razor Crest. But it seems his training on what the control panels mean has fallen on deaf ears. I mean, he’s just a baby, what did he expect? This scene is very reminiscent of the scene with Baby Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. I guess cute alien babies trying to figure out instructions in life-or-death situations is never going to not be funny.
We’re not sure what planet they’re on, but the terrain looks like we might be on Nevarro again. That’s where Mando and his wee charge decided to make a home at the end of season three of The Mandalorian. But really, it could be anywhere in the galaxy. It seems the galaxy far, far away has no shortage of these dry, arid worlds. We’ll find out where they are when The Mandalorian & Grogu arrives in theaters on May 22.
