Myleene Klass leads the stars at Star Wars premiere

Myleene Klass led the star-studded arrivals at Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu premiere at Cineworld Leicester Square in London on Thursday.

The TV personality, 48, wore a stylish strapless orange gown which boasted cut-outs and was worn with a pair of strappy heels. 

Myleene forwent a necklace and let the dress speak for itself opting instead for gold hoop earrings and slicking back her caramel locks. 

Also on the red carpet were the film’s Hollywood stars including Pedro Pascal, 51, and a leather-clad Sigourney Weaver, 76. 

The motion picture, which is a spinoff of the hit Disney+ series The Mandalorian, follows the exploits of Pedro’s interplanetary bounty hunter Din Djarin.

He is joined by Grogu, a fan favourite from the show who became a meme as ‘Baby Yoda,’ being a child of the same species as the iconic Star Wars character.

In the new trailer for the series, the beloved duo are seen facing off against the crime boss Rotta the Hutt, the son of Jabba the Hutt.

The Bear star Jeremy Allen White has been cast as the voice of Rotta, who has Djarin presented before him on his knees in a scene teased in the trailer.

Djarin’s helmet is then torn off and his real face is exposed onscreen for the first time since a 2020 episode of the second season of The Mandalorian.

Sci-fi icon Sigourney has also joined the franchise as Ward, a veteran of the Rebel Alliance from George Lucas’ original Star Wars trilogy.

The Mandalorian is set after the events of those movies, and in the new film, Djarin is hired by Ward to eliminate various villainous creatures that continue to stalk the galaxy in the wake of the fall of the Empire.

‘We’ll take out every bad guy in your deck of cards,’ Djarin assures Ward as she gives him a hit list in the trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu.

‘This isn’t about revenge,’ Ward can be seen insisting to Djarin and Grogu in a different scene. ‘It’s about preventing another war.’

Fans are treated in the trailer to glimpses of the warm rapport between the two title characters, with Grogu serving as Djarin’s apprentice.

Echoing Yoda – his resemblance to whom caused audiences to fall instantly in love with him – Grogu is seen closing his eyes and using the Force to make a droid burst into bits.

The sneak peek is awash in fan service, as in one moment certain to warm Star Wars devotees’ hearts in which Djarin is seen taking his spaceship into lightspeed.

Jon Favreau directed and co-wrote the movie, having served as the creator and director on the show The Mandalorian, which debuted on Disney+ in 2019.

The idea for the new film started life as a fourth season of The Mandalorian, but it was reimagined as a single feature-length motion picture after the Hollywood strikes of 2023 forced the production to be delayed.
