The Mandalorian third season returns on March 1, and Xbox joined Lucasfilm to launch The Mandalorian-themed Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles with a specially-themed controller. The Mandalorian is a popular show from the Star Wars franchise, and it started airing in 2019 on Disney+. The story follows a lone gunfighter who makes his way through the outer reaches of the lawless galaxy and goes on the run to protect the Force-sensitive child Grogu.
The Xbox Series X consists of Din Djarin, the show’s titular character, dressed in full battle regalia and presented in a noir-style black and white color. The Xbox Series S features Grogu, known as "Baby Yoda," in black and green with a custom illustration. Regarding the special controllers, it also features Grogu dressed in green color and comes with a sherpa hoodie. Additionally, there is also a life-sized Grogu and its pram. It can be used as a fully functional gaming station with massaging cushions, cupholders, LED lights, and storage for controllers and headphones.
