AceShowbiz - The latest preview from the upcoming Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu film has revealed fresh footage featuring a rare Star Wars creature. Set to premiere in theaters on May 22, 2026, this new movie continues the story from the Disney+ series.

Pedro Pascal reprises his role as Din Djarin, also known as The Mandalorian, alongside Grogu. The film also stars Sigourney Weaver as Ward, the leader of the New Republic’s Adelphi Rangers, and Jeremy Allen White portraying Rotta the Hutt.

Among the new footage, fans caught a glimpse of an Anooba, a creature rarely seen in Star Wars lore. This species had not appeared on screen since the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

The Anooba shown in the preview is likely a new individual of the species rather than Marrok. The original Marrok was a male Anooba closely associated with Embo, a bounty hunter during the Clone Wars era. Marrok was notable for lacking the prominent chin tusks that most Anoobas have. However, Marrok’s death was confirmed by official Star Wars literature, which places his demise by the Battle of Jakku in 5 ABY.

The appearance of an Anooba in the film aligns with the involvement of co-writer Dave Filoni, who originally created Marrok for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Dave Filoni also lends his voice to Embo in the movie.

To promote the film, a recently released TV spot showcased additional new scenes and moments.
