'THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU' - THE FINAL IMAX TRAILER DEBUTS...

More Sigourney Weaver, more Zeb, more villains, more X-wings, more Walkers! The final IMAX trailer for the TV series to film transfer, The Mandalorian and Grogu, is here, as the Jon Favreau directed adventure approaches its May 2026 release date at cruising speed. Fingers crossed that it all works for cinema audiences!

CLASSIC IMAGE: RE-INVENTING A CLASSIC!

The classic scene that set the standard for future science fiction/fantasy storytelling and blew audiences away worldwide with its truly epic special effects work- the opening to the original 1977 Star Wars involving an Imperial Star Destroyer chasing the Rebel Blockade Runner above Tatooine.

But it's not. Instead, this is an equally impressive moment from the sequence specially re-shot from scratch (using a more-detailed meter long Star Destroyer model from The Empire Strikes Back) for the equally incredible and ground-breaking IMAX screen format, as part of legendary sound designer Ben Burtt's pleasing 1996 documentary Special Effects: Anything Can Happen, shown exclusively in IMAX and OMNI MAX cinemas in the US and Canada.
