What’s in the New Trailer?
The latest trailer gives us the clearest picture yet of what the movie’s tone will be — a linear, galaxy-spanning adventure with Din Djarin and Grogu at its heart, fighting through corners of the Star Wars universe most fans haven’t visited since the original trilogy. It’s nostalgia-forward, action-heavy, and deeply personal.
Two standout reveals dominated the discourse immediately after the trailer dropped:

Martin Scorsese’s Role — A Scene-Stealer Already
Rumours of Scorsese joining the project first surfaced weeks before the trailer, but Lucasfilm stayed silent. Now it’s official: The Godfather director plays a four-armed Ardennian shop owner — the same alien species as Rio Durant from Solo: A Star Wars Story.
In the trailer, Din approaches Scorsese’s character for information about Hutt — but the shopkeeper immediately shuts up, closes shop, and makes it clear that discussing Hutt is not something people casually do. It’s a brief but memorable scene, and the comedic contrast between Scorsese’s iconic persona and the alien prosthetics is already generating enormous buzz online.
Embo Is Back — And Fans Are Screaming
The other major reveal? Embo, the armoured bounty hunter beloved by fans of The Clone Wars, is returning in live-action for the first time. His hat-weapon, his distinct helmet, his imposing presence — it’s all there. For longtime Star Wars fans, this is the kind of deep-cut inclusion that makes a film feel genuinely crafted with love.
Together with Hutt’s confirmed role and the father-son dynamic at the film’s core, The Mandalorian & Grogu is shaping up to be the Star Wars theatrical event of the decade.
