The Mandalorian continues to bear his trademark silvery beskar armor while carrying Grogu on his back.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to take a look at the full high-resolution photo down below. The pair appears to be in the cockpit of an AT-AT with the top hatch down and some light snow coming through. This is most likely from the same scene shown in the trailer, with the pair likely hijacking the walker and taking it down.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Mandalorian-and-Grogu-USA-Today-Photo.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-MC3L6C2k\" data-imagelightbox=\"0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-177637 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Mandalorian-and-Grogu-USA-Today-Photo.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of The Mandalorian and Grogu from USA Today.\" width=\"1960\" height=\"1308\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The only noticeable difference is Din Djarin looking to sport grey baseline clothing, rather than the traditional hazelnut brown he typically wore in past seasons of\u00a0The Mandalorian.\u00a0And Grogu appears to be hanging from his back and cloak rather than being carried in a satchel.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the short blurb USA Today provided, as it discussed all the movies coming up in 2026. It highlights the main cast, including Jeremy Allen White and Sigourney Weaver as an ex-Rebel pilot:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Armored warrior Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his little buddy (aka Baby Yoda) hyperspace jump from Disney+ to the big screen. The \u201cStar Wars\u201d pair are enlisted to help the New Republic with pesky Imperial warlords, plus form an alliance with an ex-Rebel pilot (Sigourney Weaver) and get involved with Jabba the Hutt\u2019s son (Jeremy Allen White).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Recent news for\u00a0The Mandalorian and Grogu has been relatively slim. But expect that to change and ramp up as we get closer to the May 22, 2026, release. Most recently, a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.starwarsnewsnet.com\/2025\/12\/new-the-mandalorian-and-grogu-trailer-attached-to-avatar-fire-and-ash-teases-more-action-and-extended-monster-fight.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trailer for\u00a0The Mandalorian and Grogu<\/a> was attached to\u00a0Avatar: Fire and Ash, showcasing more action. It also featured new monsters in an arena mimicking that of a Dejarik board (the game C-3PO and Chewbacca played in\u00a0A New Hope). This version of the trailer has not been made viewable online.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Star Wars returns to theaters with The Mandalorian and Grogu releasing on May 22, 2026.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"m-a-box-avatar-url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.starwarsnewsnet.com\/author\/jay-goodearl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/jay-goodearl-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-150x150 size-150x150\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" itemprop=\"image\"  \/>                <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Born and raised in Hawaii, Jay Goodearl runs the YouTube Gaming channel \u201cGood Games, Dude\u201d His channel aims to open up video games to beginners and immediate players and help them understand what makes games the art form that it is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Courtesy of a new write-up from USA Today, fans now have a better look at the titular characters&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":681995,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3935],"tags":[77,3943,4242,21417,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-681994","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-movies","10":"tag-star-wars","11":"tag-the-mandalorian-and-grogu","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115859006751381338","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=681994"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681994\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/681995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=681994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=681994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=681994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
