The Mandalorian season 3 finale: Here’s what to expect

The Mandalorian, which kicked off Season 3 in early March, concludes its eight-episode run on April 19. The series, which is one of Disney’s top projects in its television series slate, is created by Jon Favreau, and stars current internet stars. Favorite Pedro Pascal as Mandalorian warrior Din Jarin. The show’s third season picks up right after the events of the final three episodes of The Book of Boba Fett, and follows the adventures of Din Jarrin after he reunites with the Force-sensitive youngster Grugu (Baby Yoda) and tries to Rejoin yourself in your Mandalorian clan.

The Mandalorian Season 3 Recap: Spoilers ahead!

While ardent Star Wars fans may disagree, others suggest that the third season of The Mandalorian was completely unnecessary in the larger story, following the events at the end of season 2 where Din Zareen and Grugu went off to later Jedi training. participated with. Luke Skywalker. The beginning of the third season sees them together again, which can be confusing if you haven’t seen the Boba Fett book.

Indeed, The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and the upcoming Star Wars universe series Ahsoka all take place in a similar timeline, and have seen their characters interact with each other on several occasions. Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) himself played a significant role in The Mandalorian, while some episodes of The Book of Boba Fett furthered the story of Din Zareen and Grogu, which was arguably a ridiculous decision by the show’s producers.

If you haven’t seen it – as you might not have, given the fact that it’s a completely different series from The Mandalorian – you might find the story a bit disjointed, missing important events that happen in between Are. Even if you have, you might still be a little annoyed about the continuation of a story that could have ended on a high note at the end of Season 2.

Anyway, coming back to Season 3; Din Zarin and Grugu are reunited with one-time ally Bo-Katan Craze (Katee Sackhoff), after the latter rescues them from trouble on the ruined (but otherwise habitable) planet Mandalore, the home world of the Mandalorian race. After bathing in the waters that reside beneath the mines of Mandalore, Din Jarin is redeemed in the eyes of his strict cult, and both he and Bo-Katan are accepted once again.

Bo-Katan, being former royalty, is tasked with reuniting the Mandalorian clans in an effort to regain Mandalore, and bring back his former followers with a stolen fleet of starships. This all happens quickly, and recounts the events of the previous season and episode, including Din Zarrien coming into possession of the Dark Saber after defeating Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito).

The false weapon is key to ruling Mangalore, and was a significant cause of friction between Din Zarin and the Bo-Katan Kryaz, so it seems a bit anti-climatic for Zarin to just technically hand it over to Kryaz. . However, it also established the honorable intentions of Jaren, who while a skilled warrior never saw himself as a leader.

In all of this, Grogu’s role in the third season feels generic and largely pointless. Din Zareen’s attachment to the child is well established, yet the youth’s strength moves are kept to a minimum. He really doesn’t do much more than operate his child-like cooing voice and frame the pre-battle droid for a few comedic moments. Perhaps it also has to do with the fact that Grogu’s Jedi training is over, and he may be better suited to eventually learn Mandalorian-style combat.

The Mandalorian season 3 finale: What to expect

The seventh episode of season 3 ended on a cliffhanger, with Din Jarin being captured by Moff Gideon and his Imperial Remnant during a reconnaissance run on the planet Mandalore. Last season saw Din Zarin reveal his face at least once, and the season finale looks likely to see the character do so again, although this time it may be under torture and against his will.

In particular, the series manages to work with the genius of Pedro Pascal, despite the fact that for most of the episode, he is wearing the Mandalorian helmet and not showing his face. That said, his expected face reveal will be especially special in Season 3, given his recent surge in social capital following his highly anticipated performance in The Last of Us (Review).

Given that a fourth season of The Mandalorian is already in the works, we can expect some drama from the season 3 finale, including a hopeful rescue of Dinn Jarrin, and Grogu finally ending up in some meaningful ways. Contributing from With Gideon now in besker armor and a squad of Praetorian Guards in the picture, this could prove difficult.

The eighth and final episode of The Mandalorian will be available on Disney+Hotstar on April 19 at 1:30 PM. Meanwhile, Ahsoka, starring Rosario Dawson, is the next major live-action release in the Star Wars universe, and is expected in August. The show will take place in the same timeline as The Mandalorian, and could see characters from the latter make guest appearances.
