Here’s everything you need to know about the thrilling scenes that were revealed and why collectors are so excited!
Warning: Spoilers Below
Though the next Star Wars movie has just begun filming, Lucasfilm wasted no time in unveiling an exclusive sneak peek of The Mandalorian & Grogu at this year's D23. As the first Star Wars film since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, it continues the narrative from The Mandalorian season 3, where Din and Grogu find a new life on Nevarro. Toy collectors will be thrilled, as this new chapter promises a fresh wave of exciting collectibles inspired by the latest adventures of these beloved characters! Mandalorian repacks and repaints are inevitable, but there is plenty of cool new stuff Hasbro should delver.
The Razor Crest is back!
Exciting news for collectors and The Mandalorian fans—Zeb has been spotted piloting what appears to be the Razor Crest! While it may not be the original, this similar ST-70 class vehicle opens up fresh possibilities. For those who invested in The Vintage Collection Razor Crest HasLab project, this twist offers new inspiration and keeps the legacy of the iconic ship alive. Your prized collectible just gained even more significance in the evolving Star Wars story!
A Return to Hoth with Snowtroopers and AT-ATs
The latest teaser has thrilled fans by showcasing classic Imperial Snowtroopers and towering AT-ATs on a snow-covered planet, reminiscent of Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back. While it could be Hoth, the Star Wars galaxy has other snowy worlds that might host these iconic battles. For collectors, this is an exciting opportunity to see updated versions of these beloved troopers and vehicles in both The Vintage Collection and The Black Series. It’s a perfect nod to Kenner’s original toy line, making it a must-have for fans.
AT-RT is cool new toy
Exciting footage shows Din and Grogu piloting an AT-RT down a snowy mountain, adding a fresh twist to this iconic vehicle. The AT-RT, or All Terrain Recon Transport, has been seen before in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith, where it was used primarily by clone troopers for scouting and light combat. Seeing this nimble walker in action again, especially with Din and Grogu at the controls, is sure to thrill fans and inspire new collectibles in The Vintage Collection.
Zeb Orrelios from Rebels & Ahsoka
Yes, that's Zeb Orrelios alongside Din and Grogu in the cockpit of what looks like the Razor Crest! Known for his key role in Star Wars Rebels, Zeb made the leap to live-action in The Mandalorian season 3. After the Empire's fall, Zeb became a New Republic pilot, last seen on Adelphi with Carson Teva and Trapper Wolf. While we've had a few Zeb action figures, we're overdue for some updates in the new realistic style, which would be a welcome addition to any collection.
Mark your calendars for May 22, 2026, when The Mandalorian & Grogu movie hits theaters! With this release date, there's plenty of time for Hasbro to prepare a full lineup of action figures and vehicles to coincide with the film’s debut. Fans and collectors can look forward to having new, highly detailed merchandise ready to bring the movie's thrilling moments into their own collections as soon as the credits roll. The anticipation is building, and the wait will be hopefully worth it!
