Bridging generations and fandoms, Disney, Lucasfilm, and GoNoodle are joining forces to bring the world of Star Wars to classrooms, living rooms, and learning spaces 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.”
