Studio Ghibli, the famous Japanese animation studio behind classics like Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away has spent the last few days teasing a possible collaboration with Lucasfilm and war of stars on his official Twitter. And there are indications that it could be one Baby Yoda aka Grogu Show based on a previous leak and a new tease.

If you read my boxI probably don’t need to explain Studio Ghibli or war of stars, but let’s just pretend for a moment that you have no idea what those things are. This will only take a second, be patient. Studio Ghibli is an incredibly popular animation studio founded in Tokyo, Japan in 1985. Since its inception, it has produced popular films such as My neighbor Totoro
Yesterday the official Studio Ghibli Twitter account tweeted a short video with the Lucasfilm logo and its own logo. That was it. But it was enough to get people talking and saying, “Hey, what’s this about?” The officer followed shortly thereafter war of stars The Twitter account also re-shared the teaser. This has done two things. Firstly, it dashed my hopes that the anime studio was working on an Indiana Jones series, and secondly, it confirmed that everything they’re collaborating on has something in common war of stars

That alone seems like solid proof that the studio is making a Baby Yoda short, film, or animated series. But even before today’s tweet and yesterday’s tease, we knew that Disney and Lucasfilm were probably working on a Grogu project some kind. This is thanks to a previous leak from Disney+’s Italian Twitter account earlier this month. This leak pointed to a November 12 release date, which happens to be tomorrow. It’s also the three-year anniversary of the premiere for The Mandalorianthe show where Grogu first appeared.
All of this points to the very real possibility that Studio Ghibli and Lucasfilm will be releasing a new Star Wars animated short starring Grogu very soon. Or maybe this leaked short film has nothing to do with this project and instead Ghibli is working on a segment for the next season of the war of stars anime spin-off anthology series, Star Wars Visions. We will see…
