Overview
- A new Japanese teaser uses the classic Star Wars theme and offers a fresh cut of action-heavy footage while marketing continues to limit unmasked shots of the lead.
- Favreau confirmed Din Djarin’s original bounty‑hunter arc has been abandoned in favor of a cinematic direction, noting the character’s shift away from being a hired gun.
- Sigourney Weaver joins as Colonel Ward of the New Republic’s Adelphi Rangers and Jeremy Allen White plays Rotta the Hutt, expanding the film’s lineup beyond the series regulars.
- Pedro Pascal returns primarily as the character’s voice with in-suit performance largely handled by Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowder, consistent with the series’ approach.
- Several familiar faces are not expected to appear, with Temuera Morrison confirming his absence and reporting indicating Gina Carano, Katee Sackhoff, and Emily Swallow are unlikely to return, as Lucasfilm emphasizes a theatrical pivot and trims streaming budgets.
