Star Wars fans have been riding high this year thanks to the release of the franchise’s first Disney+ project of 2026, Maul – Shadow Lord. The show aired its final two episodes of Season 1 earlier this week, but it’s already been picked up for a second season, and star Sam Witwer has confirmed that the wait for Season 2 won’t be too long. Star Wars fans are also waiting on pins and needles to learn the first official details about Ahsoka Season 2, which is expected to be released at some point this year, though that has not been officially confirmed. It’s quickly approaching three years since the first season of Ahsoka premiered on Disney+, but demand for the show’s return is as high as it has ever been. This can at least partially be credited to Hayden Christensen’s continued returnas Anakin Skywalker.
However, the biggest thing Star Wars fans have to look forward to this year is the franchise’s long-awaited return to the big screen with The Mandalorian and Grogu. The Mandalorian continuation film is the first Star Wars movie to be released in theaters in seven years, since The Rise of Skywalker ended the Skywalker saga all the way back in 2019. Before The Mandalorian and Grogu jumps into theaters around the world on May 22, Star Wars has released a new sneak peek at the film, which is now streaming on Disney+. Mere weeks after the original Mandalorian series charted back into the top 10 on Disney’s go-to streaming platform, the special look at the new movie is officially #2 on global streaming charts with two weeks to go until it arrives in theaters.
The scores below reveal how the Force sees you. Your highest number is your true alignment. Read on to understand what that means — and what it will cost you.
Disciplined, compassionate, and deeply attuned to the living Force, you have walked the path long enough to understand its demands — and accept them. You lead not through authority alone, but through example. You have felt the pull of the dark side and chosen otherwise, every time. That is not certainty. That is courage.
You are earnest, powerful, and brimming with potential — and you know it, which is both your greatest asset and your most dangerous flaw. You act before you think, trust your gut over your training, and sometimes confuse impatience for bravery. The Masters see something in you, though. The question isn’t whether you have what it takes — it’s whether you’ll be patient enough to find out.
You are not simply dangerous — you are certain, and that is worse. You have decided what the galaxy needs, and you have decided you are the one to deliver it. Your power is genuine and formidable, earned through sacrifice that would have broken lesser beings. But examine your victories carefully. Every Sith believed their cause was righteous. The dark side’s cruelest trick is that it agrees with you.
You were forged in fire and reshaped by those who found you at your lowest. You serve, because service gave you structure when you had none. Your allegiance is not to an ideology — it is to survival and to the master who gave you purpose. But there is something buried beneath the conditioning. The Jedi you hunt? You recognize them. Because you remember what it felt like before the choice was taken from you.
You have looked at the Jedi Code and the Sith Code and found both of them incomplete. You walk the line not out of indecision but out of conviction — you genuinely believe both extremes miss something essential. The Jedi don’t fully trust you. The Sith think you’re wasting your potential. They’re both partially right. But so are you.
While it’s not explicitly required, fans would benefit from watching all three seasons of The Mandalorian on Disney+ before heading to the theater to watch The Mandalorian and Grogu. While some first reactions to the first 25 minutes of the film praise its accessibility for newcomers, the movie is still a direct continuation of the series, meaning there are sure to be references for fans of the show. A full watch of The Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka also couldn’t hurt, but The Mandalorian should be the priority to catch up on before The Mandalorian and Grogu. Major cast members for the film include Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin, Sigourney Weaver as Colonel Ward, Martin Scorsese as an Ardennian Fry Cook, Steve Blum as Zeb Orellios, and Jeremy Allen White as Rotta the Hutt.
Check out the new sneak peek at The Mandalorian and Grogu on Disney+ and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the film.
