Developers who were invited to attend the WWDC 2026 keynote at Apple Park can also attend a special screening of The Mandalorian and Grogu.
The screening will take place at 8:00 p.m. PT on Tuesday, June 9 at the Steve Jobs Theater. Apple says a “special guest” will be in attendance, and doors are expected to open at 7 p.m. There’s no word on the special guest star, but the film stars Pedro Pascal as The Mandalorian and Jon Favreau directs. Favreau reportedly used the Apple Vision Pro headset to preview the IMAX version of the film while working on it, which explains why Apple is considering screening the film.

Apple says room capacity is limited and developers can RSVP on Thursday, June 4 on a first-come, first-served basis at the event site.
Developers were able to enter a lottery to attend an in-person WWDC event in Cupertino, California. Apple selected the lottery winners earlier this year. Attendees will also be able to watch the keynote and State of the Union on the platforms, as well as meet Apple experts one-on-one and in group labs.
The Mandalorian and Grogu was released in the United States on May 22 and is the latest film in Disney’s Star Wars franchise.
