You Can Now Watch the First 10 Minutes of ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ on ‘Fortnite’
The latest Watch Party Island also arrives with a massive STAR WARS Toolkit.
Summary
- Disney and Epic Games have launched The Mandalorian and Grogu Watch Party Island in Fortnite, going live ahead of the film’s May 22 theatrical release with a 10-minute sneak peek and a special message from director Jon Favreau
- The STAR WARS Toolkit, the largest IP toolset in ‘Fortnite’ history, is now available to creators, enabling them to build original Star Wars experiences using characters, vehicles, and environments from across the franchise
With The Mandalorian and Grogu arriving in theaters May 22, Disney and Epic Games have launched The Mandalorian and Grogu Watch Party Island on Fortnite, giving fans a place to gather in Nevarro right now, watch a 10-minute sneak peek of the film, and hear directly from director Jon Favreau before the movie opens.
The Watch Party Island was built as a serious production rather than a promotional placeholder. Developed through a collaboration between Epic Games, Disney, Lucasfilm, Fairview Portals — Jon Favreau’s own storytelling studio — and Beyond Creative, the island pulls key artisans and craftspeople from The Mandalorian and Grogu production into the build itself. The result is Nevarro rendered with the same visual fidelity that defines the show, functioning as both a social gathering space and an interactive preview experience. Players can complete quests, interact with Marshall IG-11, and access the 10-minute film sneak peek. On May 26, Favreau will appear for a live Q&A answering questions submitted by the Fortnite community.
Alongside the Watch Party Island, Disney and Lucasfilm have launched the STAR WARS Toolkit, described as the largest IP toolset in Fortnite history. For the first time, Fortnite creators can build entirely original Star Wars experiences using the franchise’s characters, vehicles, and environments, producing games that feel genuinely part of the galaxy rather than adjacent to it. Three creator islands are already live: Galactic Siege, Escape Vader, and Droid Tycoon, each exploring a different gameplay style through a Star Wars lens. All content is available across PC, console, and mobile simultaneously.
The Mandalorian and Grogu Watch Party Island is live on Fortnite now, while the Jon Favreau Q&A streams on the Watch Party Island on May 26. The Mandalorian and Grogu opens in theaters May 22.
