Although the show itself is set to conclude on Disney+, its lasting impact will continue through various new avenues.

In the upcoming episodes of The Mandalorian and Grogu, we’ll encounter five exotic creatures native to the Star Wars universe, first introduced in Disney+’s The Mandalorian series. It has been confirmed that Star Wars will reintroduce several beloved characters from The Mandalorian in this movie, serving as a sequel to the Disney+ show following its completion after four years and three seasons on the platform. This expansion will introduce various species from throughout Star Wars’ rich history, pushing the boundaries of the universe even further.

The dynamic duo of The Mandalorian and Grogu will embark on more thrilling journeys in a new series, joining an extensive roster of intriguing side characters, although specific plot details are yet to be revealed. This upcoming show is the brainchild of Jon Favreau, who is both directing and co-writing with Dave Filoni. The cast includes Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver, Jeremy Allen White, and Jonny Coyne.

Every Star Wars Species in The Mandalorian & Grogu

Human

In the realm of science fiction, Star Wars stands out as a timeless classic, its enduring appeal rooted in an array of distinctive alien creatures. However, humans continue to play a pivotal role in shaping the narrative. This dynamic is evident in The Mandalorian & Grogu, where Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin once more takes center stage as a leading character, driving the story forward for this latest installment of the franchise.

In the wider Star Wars narrative, it’s primarily the Jedi and politicians who hold significant roles. However, this story focuses on Djarin and other human characters originating from Mandalore, putting them in the limelight. Sigourney Weaver is also set to portray a human character in this movie. While other humans may appear elsewhere, Pascal’s main character will be the most notable human presence.

Yoda’s Species

It’s fascinating that a species, which has existed for 45 years without being named, is home to the powerful Jedi master Yoda, the small green character known from the Skywalker Saga. Despite not yet being officially identified, this race will be prominently featured due to Grogu, one of Star Wars’ most beloved characters.

In the upcoming episodes of The Mandalorian, we can expect Grogu to continue mastering the Force and enhancing his Jedi abilities. Additionally, viewers will witness the deepening bond between Grogu and Din Djarin as Din formally adopts Grogu, leading them on new adventures since their initial encounter in the first episode of The Mandalorian. Although Grogu’s species has yet to be named, his narrative is certain to become richer with his upcoming appearances.

Lasat

In addition to The Mandalorian and Grogu, the towering Lasat race – a humanoid species from Lira San recognized for their large stature, agile feet, and extraordinary power and speed – will also be featured in the upcoming Star Wars film. This race will be depicted by Garazeb “Zeb” Orellios, a character who was previously introduced in Star Wars Rebels and later made his live-action debut in The Mandalorian’s third season.

Currently employed by The New Republic, Zeb is anticipated to display his combat abilities alongside Din Djarin and Grogu. In addition, viewers may gain insights into Zeb’s past as the movie connects the stories of The Mandalorian and Ahsoka. Regardless, Zeb promises to be one of the formidable fighters in this film, ready to wreak havoc on his future adversaries.

Hutt

Since 1983’s Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, the Hutts have been a prominent element in Star Wars stories. They are the crime lords we often encounter, like Jabba the Hutt, who made their debut then. Known for their extensive influence over criminal activities across the galaxy, these large, slug-like creatures have distinctive features such as broad mouths and small limbs.

In the upcoming movie, Jeremy Allen White from “The Bear” is set to contribute to the legend of the Hutts by playing Rotta the Hutt, Jabba the Hutt’s son who first appeared in “The Clone Wars”. After Jabba’s demise in “Episode VI”, it is anticipated that Rotta will assume leadership of the Hutt clan. As he has presumably grown up, many believe he is prepared to leave his own mark on the wicked legacy of his family.

Anzellan

The Anzellans boast a rich history within the Star Wars universe, making appearances in “Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker” and delving deeper into their background in “The Mandalorian” Season 3. Distinguished by their diminutive size, rodent-like anatomy, and occasional facial hair, this species is known for their proficiency in technology, repairs, and enhancements to a variety of gadgetry within the Star Wars galaxy.

In the popular series “The Mandalorian and Grogu,” it’s been confirmed (through private footage) that Babu Frik makes an appearance. You might remember him from “The Rise of Skywalker.” The specifics of his role haven’t been revealed just yet, but he’s expected to add a touch of nostalgia and richness to the broader Star Wars saga.
