Star Wars Officially Returns With Its Biggest Sci-Fi Project of 2026 Next Week



[

Some franchises never truly die, but there’s a huge difference between something dropping weekly on streaming, and a new project dropping on IMAX around the world. For years, fans have watched this corner of the saga grow through Disney+ shows, bounty hunter adventures, frog-spawn eating chaos, difficult politics, and the occasional deeply stressful “put your helmet back on, for the love of Yoda” segments, but not the leap to hyperspace is almost here.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu officially opens in theaters on May 22, 2026. The movie brings Din Djarin and Grogu to the big screen after three seasons of The Mandalorian, which helped define the early years of Disney+ and gave the franchise one of its biggest breakout characters in decades. Baby Yoda, frankly, did more for streaming branding than most boardrooms could have done in 100 years. The film continues the story of the Mandalorian bounty hunter and his tiny Force-sensitive companion as they move from episodic streaming adventure into a full theatrical event.





















































Collider Exclusive · Star Wars Quiz
Which Force User
Are You?

Light Side · Dark Side · Or Somewhere Between

The Force is not a binary. It is a spectrum — from the serene halls of the Jedi Temple to the shadowed corridors of Sith space. Ten questions will reveal where you truly fall. The Force has always known. Now you will too.

🔵Jedi Master

🟡Padawan

🔴Sith Lord

Inquisitor

Grey Jedi

01

What is the Force to you?
Your relationship with the Force defines everything else.




02

When you feel strong emotions — anger, grief, love — what do you do?
The Jedi suppress. The Sith feed. Others choose differently.




03

The Jedi Council gives you an order you disagree with. You:
How you handle authority reveals your alignment.




04

You are offered forbidden knowledge that could give you enormous power. The cost is crossing a moral line. You:
The dark side’s pull is never more than a choice away.




05

Your approach to training and learning is:
A student’s habits become a master’s character.




06

In a duel, your lightsaber fighting style reflects:
Combat is the purest expression of a Force user’s philosophy.




07

A defeated enemy lies at your feet, powerless. You:
Mercy — or its absence — is the truest test of alignment.




08

The Jedi Code forbids attachment. Your honest view on love and bonds:
The source of the greatest falls in the galaxy.




09

Why do you use the Force at all? What’s the point?
Purpose is the difference between a knight and a weapon.




10

At the final moment — light side or dark side pulling at you — what wins?
In the end, every Force user faces this moment. What does yours look like?




Your Alignment Has Been Determined
Your Place in the Force

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.

🔵
Jedi Master

🟡
Padawan

🔴
Sith Lord


Inquisitor


Grey Jedi

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.

Who Stars in ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’?

​​​​​​​

The cast includes Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, Gladiator II) as Din Djarin/The Mandalorian, alongside Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowder again physically portraying the armored bounty hunter on set — with Grogu returning as himself, a tiny green pest who has somehow made soup, frogs, and staring politely into ways for Disney to make billions of galactic credits. The wider Mandalorian world has also featured Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica, Riddick) as Bo-Katan Kryze, Carl Weathers (Rocky, Predator) as Greef Karga, Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, The Boys) as Moff Gideon, Emily Swallow (Supernatural, The Mentalist) as the Armorer, and Amy Sedaris (Strangers with Candy, BoJack Horseman) as Peli Motto.

Additions for the movie include Sigourney Weaver (Alien, Avatar) as Colonel Ward, a New Republic officer, and Jeremy Allen White (The Bear, The Iron Claw) as the voice of Rotta the Hutt, the son of Jabba the Hutt. The film also features Steve Blum (Star Wars Rebels, Cowboy Bebop) returning as the voice of Garazeb “Zeb” Orrelios, Dave Filoni (The Mandalorian, Ahsoka) returning as New Republic pilot Trapper Wolf, Jonny Coyne (The Blacklist, Preacher) as Imperial remnant leader Janu, Martin Scorsese (Killers of the Flower Moon, Goodfellas) as the voice of an Ardennian shopkeeper, and Matthew Willig(Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., We’re the Millers) as Hogsbreth

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu opens in theaters on May 22, 2026.
