The Mandalorian Season 3: Release date and time, episodes, cast, and more

The Mandalorian Season 3 – out now on Disney+Hotstar – marks the return of the Star Wars series after a two-year hiatus, during which our leads Din Zareen (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu/Baby Yoda played major roles in The Book of Boba Fett. This new chapter begins just after the pair are reunited, with the adorable Grogu wanting to skip Jedi training with Luke Skywalker (an older Mark Hamill) in favor of spending time with Mando. Needless to say, Jaren now possesses the Darksaber, an ancient black-bladed lightsaber whose mysterious curse holds some enormous implications for the fate of the planet Mandalore.

Our heroes are currently embarking on an interstellar journey to Mandalore, a planet that has been plagued by many great wars and conflicts within tribes. Producer Jon Favreau suggests that in The Mandalorian season 3, we’ll get to see the desolate wasteland that turned into after The Great Mandalorian Purge, where they first came into conflict with the Galactic Empire. Favreau told Total Film, “It’s kind of a sad history of what this planet is, but it’s also a romantic vision of what once was.” “We inherited the designs from Dave [Filoni] and his team, and then we wanted to show what happened and we give some allusion to the Purification of the Mandalore; In Boba Fett’s book, we are shown a montage of destruction. And now when we return to the planet we get to see in the harsh sunlight what was the result of that destruction.

While The Mandalorian Season 3 was filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic, Favreau felt his show was in a somewhat safe position as most of its characters are wearing some form of mask or helmet. “We also have a lot of digital work that escalates things. So we’re a show that’s probably well equipped to be flexible based on the protocols that are emerging around resuming work ,” Favreau said in an interview. Using digital methods to his advantage has allowed the show to maintain a sense of scope similar to the big-screen Star Wars movies. If you remember, the mandalorian was the first to employ ILM’s Stagecraft – a production technique that relies on giant LED screens to create backgrounds on set, rather than shooting on real-life locations. The technique was later employed in Matt Reeves’s The Batman, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummania and the recently canceled Netflix series, 1899.
