The upcoming movie, The Mandalorian & Grogu, represents the next significant installment in the Star Wars saga, following the last theatrical release since 2019's The Rise of Skywalker. It aims to continue the narrative from The Mandalorian series and introduces Garazeb 'Zeb' Orrelios from Rebels, confirming his role extends beyond a mere cameo. Attendees of the Star Wars Celebration Japan revealed early visuals of Din Djarin alongside Zeb, indicating a deeper integration of characters as the film explores the state of the New Republic, while allowing for narrative differentiation between the movie and the upcoming Ahsoka Season 2.
According to attendees of the Mandalorian & Grogu panel at Star Wars Celebration Japan, one of the first-look images showed Din Djarin walking side by side with Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios, the purple Lasat character from Rebels.
Now, we see that that scene didn't just set up Zeb's absence in Ahsoka, but his upcoming presence in The Mandalorian & Grogu.
It's a great way to represent the Rebels crew in the movie without interfering with the upcoming Ahsoka Season 2, and it shows the state of the current New Republic from a familiar face.
The Mandalorian & Grogu has a lot riding on it. Not only is it the next major Star Wars movie (making it the first theatrical release since 2019's The Rise of Skywalker), but it is also the next chapter in The Mandalorian's story.
