Mando and Grogu are trading in live-action for bricks, and Lucasfilm just gave D23 2026 attendees a reason to add another line item to their schedule. LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian, a new animated special from Lucasfilm and The LEGO Group, premieres on Disney+ on September 2. Before that, fans at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event can catch it first during an exclusive early screening at the Anaheim Convention Center.
The special pulls stories and characters from all three seasons of The Mandalorian, reworked into LEGO’s animated style with what Lucasfilm is billing as unexpected laughs alongside the action. Lucasfilm also released the teaser poster, which gives fans their first look at Din Djarin and baby Grogu’s very first meeting rendered in brick form. It is aimed at longtime Mandalorian viewers and younger LEGO fans alike, which has been the formula behind LEGO Star Wars specials for years now.
D23 2026 Screening Details – The screening is set for August 15, the middle day of the three-day event, and falls under the Lucasfilm pavilion’s programming. As we covered in our D23 2026 show floor breakdown, that pavilion is one of the bigger draws on this year’s show floor, bringing photo ops, props, and costumes pulled from current and upcoming Star Wars projects, along with fireside chats where filmmaking teams talk through their shows and movies with the crowd. The LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian screening slots in as one more reason fans are circling the Lucasfilm area of the floor early. For the rest of what is happening at the Lucasfilm pavilion and across Anaheim, see our D23 2026 Complete Guide.
D23 2026 runs August 14 through 16 at the Anaheim Convention Center, and the show floor is the largest in the event’s history this year. The Lucasfilm pavilion is sharing space with major activations from Marvel Studios, Pixar, and Disney+ Hulu, so a confirmed screening time gives Star Wars fans a fixed point to build their day around instead of guessing when the pavilion will be busiest. Anyone building a day-by-day plan should treat this screening as an anchor and work the rest of the Lucasfilm pavilion’s photo ops and fireside chats around it.
LEGO Star Wars specials do not usually get theatrical-style early screenings tied to a Disney fan event. Giving D23 attendees a two and a half week head start on a Disney+ release signals Lucasfilm sees real demand for Mandalorian content beyond the flagship live-action shows, and it is a good sign for fans hoping LEGO Star Wars keeps mining The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and the rest of the current slate for future specials.
LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian streams on Disney+ starting September 2. For the full D23 2026 schedule, panel breakdowns, and Lucasfilm pavilion details, visit our D23 2026 Complete Guide, and check our Star Wars category page for ongoing coverage.
