Disney, Lucasfilm, and GoNoodle have announced a collaboration that will bring Star Wars to classrooms, living rooms, and learning spaces with short, engaging content. The collaboration is designed to help kids refocus, move, and build healthy habits. It blends GoNoodle’s developmental programming in combination with the characters and stories of Star Wars. This will allow kids to enjoy a playful, educational adventure that will be available for parents and teachers to access at any time and in any place.
“At Disney and Lucasfilm, we believe great stories spark curiosity and creativity. Bringing Star Wars into the GoNoodle platform lets kids experience the characters and stories they love in a way that’s active, joyful, and meaningful,” Jeff Benjenk, Vice President of Brand Marketing at The Walt Disney Company, said. “Together, we’re giving families and educators simple tools they can rely on to inspire movement, mindfulness, and imagination every day.”
The first video in this series stars Grogu. It can be seen here:
“Grogu embodies the qualities we want every child to build: curiosity, balance, and kindness, making him a natural fit for GoNoodle’s mission to transform how mindfulness shows up in classrooms and school communities,” KC Estenson, CEO of GoNoodle, said.
The video is designed to help kids practice important developmental skills. This includes self-regulation, focus, and healthy daily habits. The program was created with an understanding of the importance of movement and mindfulness in helping kids regulate and optimize student learning. There are some of the core principles that GoNoodle was founded on.
The video will be available for free via GoNoodle’s websiteand also on a specific Star Wars YouTube channel. This will ensure teachers and parents can integrate it easily into their school or home routines.
“Through the new Star Wars channel, mindfulness content, and curriculum-paired activity, we’re equipping educators with trusted tools that help students focus, settle, and find their balance in ways that feel joyful and familiar,” Estenson said. “By weaving mindfulness into movement and play, we’re helping kids build emotional regulation skills they can carry with them for a lifetime.”
This partnership is a combination of two brands that are known and trusted by families. It continues a partnership that has lasted nearly a decade. This partnership is focused on creating memorable content that is rooted in movement, joy, and development support for young learners. This newest collaboration builds on the past by adding Star Wars characters and stories to help encourage connection between young fans and the stories their parents and teachers grew up loving.
This new collaboration also builds on what teachers have long relied on with GoNoodle’s activities. These support transitions, reenergize students, and even help them reset between lessons. This new collaboration is designed to help enhance these moments even more.
Grogu will now also be helping kids at home. He will help kids refocus energy as they get home from school, finish homework, get ready for dinner, or even get ready for bedtime. This continues to showcase Disney’s commitment to storytelling that continues to support children’s development. This infuses familiar characters into platforms that nurture creativity, calm, and confidence.
This video with Grogu is just the start. There will be more content coming throughout the year that will expand this collaboration with more characters, movement, and opportunities for kids to practice Jedi skills. The initiative arrives as there are a lot of other exciting things coming from a galaxy far, far away. This includes The Mandalorian & Grogu, which will arrive in theaters on May 22, 2026. Along with the film, an update to Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run will debut in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at both the Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort.
