The Mandalorian & Grogu Hit the Snow in Unexpected Super Bowl TV Spot

A Super Bowl TV spot for The Mandalorian and Grogu shows Din Djarin and Grogu riding a levitating sleigh pulled by Tauntauns across a Hoth-like snowfield. Sam Elliott provides narration: "We keep forward," he says, "driven by a deeper purpose, guided by an unseen Force." The ad follows a trailer released in September and fell short of some fans' hopes for a longer preview.

The commercial plays more like a Winter Olympics promo than a traditional trailer. It remains unclear whether Elliott appears in the film or only lends his voice. Plot details are scarce beyond that the movie is set after The Mandalorian season 3 and stars the two title characters, with Sigourney Weaver as Colonel Ward and Jeremy Allen White as Rotta the Hutt, son of Jabba.

The Mandalorian and Grogu opens May 22, 2026, and will be the first Star Wars movie in theaters since 2019's The Rise of Skywalker, a fact that adds pressure for it to perform.
