The 36-second commercial confused many audiences, as it doesn\u2019t appear to include any footage from the actual movie; rather, it just shows the two titular characters sitting in a wagon being pulled by some Tauntauns through a snowy tundra and offers no real insight into the film\u2019s actual plot.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the Super Bowl spot here (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/trailers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">watch more trailers and clips<\/a>):<\/p>\n<p>What is the update on Star Wars The Mandalorian and Grogu?<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/film\/features\/disney-ceo-josh-damaro-star-wars-marvel-ai-1236671533\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Variety<\/a>, this Super Bowl spot has ignited some \u201cconcerns\u201d within Disney and Lucasfilm, as the commercial \u201cfailed to\u00a0generate the kind of excitement the marketing team was hoping to spark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The article continues, \u201cThe film itself is something of a question mark, given that\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0based on a streaming series and,\u00a0consequently, may not seem like a big-screen proposition for any but the most die-hard Baby Yoda lovers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not Star Wars fans will truly turn up for The Mandalorian and Grogu remains to be seen, as no box office tracking information regarding the movie is available at this time.
