Star Wars fans are nothing if not forgiving. They have gone from screaming about how George Lucas has ruined their childhood to embracing the prequels as really good, actually. They’ve gone from feeling embarrassment whenever The Holiday Special is mentioned to cheering when Life Day gets name-dropped in official releases. And they even admit that The Rise of Skywalker can’t be all bad, because it gave us Babu Frik.Never one to let goodwill go untapped, Disney has moved Babu Frik, or at least some of his fellow Anzellans out of J. J. Abrams‘s mess of a saga capper and into The Mandalorian & Grogu. And they immediately start causing trouble. In the final trailer for the upcoming film, a quartet of Anzellans shout at Grogu, even evoking his better name when they sneer, “A horrible baby!” and “That’s a bad baby!”On one hand, the Anzellans are wrong. Grogu is a very good baby, so good that he even made Werner Herzog wonder if, in fact, love and kindness existed in the universe. More importantly, Grogu made the movie The Mandalorian & Grogu possible, as he made the show a pop culture phenomenon when it first hit Disney+ back in 2019. cnx.cmd.push(function() {cnx({playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530",}).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796");});What initially began as a space Western set in post-Return of the Jedi universe, complete with Ludwig Göransson doing his best Ennio Morricone score, quickly became the story about an adorable green goober and his armored protector. And then it became a sequel to The Clone Wars, as Bo-Katan, Ahsoka Tano, and others from the animated series became the focus.Judging by the latest trailer, The Mandalorian & Grogu will try to tie together all these disparate elements. Characters from The Clone Wars and its sequel Rebels will be represented, in the form of Rotta the Hutt (Jeremy Allen White), Zeb (Steve Blum), and bounty hunter Embo. And the cuteness factor is in full effect, as demonstrated by the spat between the Anzellans and Baby Yoda.But much of the trailer focuses on Mando himself, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), as he tries to complete his mission to Grogu, getting some help and pep talks from Sigourney Weaver as Colonel Ward, a former fighter pilot in the resistance.If director Jon Favreau, who wrote the script with Dave Filoni and Noah Kloor, can weave all those elements together, then The Mandalorian & Grogu can be a true crowd-pleaser, finally washing away the stink left by the last Star Wars theatrical release, Rise of Skywalker. And if he can’t, well… give it a decade or so. Eventually, someone on the internet will start yelling about how it’s actually a masterpiece.The Mandalorian & Grogu arrives in theaters on May 22, 2026.The post The Mandalorian & Grogu Trailer Teases Baby Yoda vs. Babu Frik in the Cutest Lil’ Battle Ever appeared first on Den of Geek.
