It’s been known for months that the Mando would be added in some capacity to Galaxy’s Edge, but this is the the first proper glimpse of the Mando character costume and animatronic Grogu. It’s been rumored that this might be a precursor to an eventual retheming of the Star Wars land to the Disney+ series timeline, but Disney hasn’t given any indication that they’re pulling the trigger on a major retheme just yet.
