The Mandalorian and Grogu's new commercial pays homage to classic ads of the past with a tense showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. The ad features Din Djarin and Grogu riding through a snowy landscape on a wagon pulled by a team of tauntauns, instead of the usual Clydesdale horses. Directed by Jon Favreau, the film follows an all-new adventure for the legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter and his young apprentice. The film, which also stars Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White, is produced by Jon Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni, and Ian Bryce, with music composed by Ludwig Göransson. Get ready for The Mandalorian and Grogu, an all-new Star Wars adventure filmed for IMAX and opening exclusively in theaters May 22, 2026. But here's where it gets controversial... The use of tauntauns instead of Clydesdales could be seen as a nod to the classic Star Wars films, but it also raises questions about animal welfare and the ethical implications of using real animals in films.
