A new video from the Star Wars Instagram account reveals some of the creatures making their live-action debut in The Mandalorian & Grogu.

‘The Mandalorian & Grogu’ Reveals New Creatures

In the Reel, director Jon Favreau shares that for him, a big part of what makes the Star Wars universe feel complete and compelling is its unique creatures. In his voiceover, he explains that in making The Mandalorian & Grogu, they got to “[embrace] a lot of tradition” by “bringing in all sorts of creative disciplines” and “all of these techniques to ground things” to make all these creatures and droids feel especially real.

Here’s a rogues’ gallery of some of the critters and droids you’ll spot in the upcoming film.

We also see some behind-the-scenes footage of miniatures and puppets in action, showing the extensive use of practical effects to bring these unique beings to life.

One of the most thrilling scenes teased is this encounter between Din Djarin and a menacing dragonsnake.
