  • Arriving nine days after its Super Bowl 2026 TV spot, the trailer shows the story picks up after season 3 and is set between Return of the Jedi and the sequel trilogy, as Disney released it ahead of May 22, 2026.
  • Joining the cast, Jeremy Allen White voices Rotta the Hutt, Sigourney Weaver plays Colonel Ward, and Steve Blum returns as Garazeb 'Zeb' Orellios.

  • With all three seasons on Disney+, the trailer on YouTube follows a divisive Super Bowl 2026 TV spot and aims to clarify the film's story ahead of its theatrical release later this year.
