Disney, Lucasfilm and GoNoodle Team Up to Bring 'Star Wars' Mindfulness & Movement to a Galaxy Not So Far Away

In a collaboration that bridges generations and fandoms, Disney, Lucasfilm, and GoNoodle are joining forces to bring the world of Star Wars to classrooms, living rooms, and learning spaces across the country through short, engaging content that blends movement and mindfulness.

Designed to help kids refocus, move, and build healthy habits, this new initiative blends GoNoodle's beloved developmental programming with the iconic characters and stories of Star Wars - launching a playful, educational adventure that parents and teachers can access anytime, anywhere.

"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."

Making Mindfulness Fun with the Force

The debut video in the series features none other than Grogu, one of the most beloved characters in the Star Wars galaxy. In this short, Grogu guides children through a mindful breathing exercise - inviting them to slow down and center themselves using Jedi training tricks.

"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.

This video helps kids practice important developmental skills like self-regulation, focus, and healthy daily habits. This program was developed with an understanding of the roles that movement and mindfulness play in helping kids to regulate and optimize student learning - two of the core principles that GoNoodle was founded on.

The video will be freely available on GoNoodle's website on a designated Star Wars channel as well as on YouTube, ensuring that teachers and parents can integrate it effortlessly into routines at school or at home.

"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 brings together two brands that families know and trust. For nearly a decade, Disney and GoNoodle have worked side by side to create memorable content rooted in movement, joy, and developmental support for young learners. This latest collaboration builds on that relationship by introducing the legendary Star Wars characters and stories to a new generation in a way that is energetic and educational, encouraging connection between young fans and the stories their parents and teachers grew up loving.

A Galaxy Reimagined for the Classroom and Living Room

Teachers have long relied on GoNoodle's activities to support transitions, reenergize students, or help them reset between lessons. This new collaboration is crafted to make those moments even more captivating - helping young learners stay engaged while building the social-emotional skills that will stay with them throughout their lives.

At home, Grogu can help kids refocus their energy as they come back from school, finish homework, get ready for dinner, or even prepare for bedtime. This effort also highlights Disney's commitment to storytelling that supports children's development - infusing familiar characters into platforms that nurture creativity, calm, and confidence.

This first video marks only the beginning. Star Wars and GoNoodle are planning additional content drops all year long, expanding the collaboration with more characters, more movement, and more opportunities for kids to practice Jedi skills. Parents, educators, and fans can expect additional playful, purpose-driven programming that showcases the vibrant world of Star Wars in new and meaningful ways.

The initiative arrives at an exciting moment in the Star Wars universe as anticipation builds for The Mandalorian & Grogu, premiering May 22, 2026, where Grogu's journey continues alongside the legendary bounty hunter Din Djarin. Starting on May 22, guests will also be able to team up with Grogu and Din Djarin on Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort.
