In the past few days, we learned that a new Star Wars content was coming from the Disney investor event. Also, Kathleen Kennedy, the head of Lucas Film said that the next season of The Mandalorian will be released by the end of 2021. Although things got a bit complicated with the Book of Boba Fett, we can be fed with Star Wars content faster than ever.
If we think that Book of Boba Fett will be a side TV show, there is natural to anticipate The Mandalorian season 3. News from Variety says that Jon Favreau focused on season three screenplay since April. Also, according to the latest news by Deadline, the filming might begin in the first months of 2021. We might be talking about the new season of Mandalorian one year later.
Saving Baby Yoda
Internet hype Baby Yoda introduced to our lives with Mandalorian season 1 and we learned a lot about his past made me emotional in the last episode of season 2. The episode was so good that I couldn’t hold myself and shed tears… Saving Baby Yoda who is called Grogu was a turning point in Star Wars as well as the Mandalorian story. When the hope we all felt in A New Hope movie that everything started was about to reach an end, we saw it with X-Wing.
Careful Star War fans probably understood Luke Skywalker’s future from X-Wing. But Luke’s entrance made us excited. Luke who single-handedly destroyed the Dark Trooper project grabbed Grogu at the end of season 2. What makes me scared is burning down Luke’s Jedi Academy on Episode 7 and Kylo Ren (Ben Solo) and Padawan’s disappearing. I don’t think they will send Baby Yoda on a suicide mission. We will probably see Grogu again in season 3. But we need to disregard Grogu a bit to evolve the story in a different direction. And this is done in the last episode.
Will We See Moff Gideon Again?
After knowing that Baby Yoda is in good hands, the Mandalorian story will evolve in season 3. Moff Gideon, the last owner of Darksaber, is the real owner of Din Djarin sabre and the Mandalorian administration. Of course, this made Bo Katan who wants to re-animate Mandalorian and manage the place with the black sabre very angry. Since Moff Gideon did not die in the season finale, we will probably witness a different Mandalorian/Darksaber story.
Giancarlo Esposito who played Gideon announced that we will see a lot of Moff Gideon in season 3. Probably Gideon who was a captive of the New Republic will save himself from here. But it is hard to predict how he will be involved with Darksaber. It is almost certain that there will be a duel between Mando and Bo Katan. Mando did not want to give the sabre in the last episode but it seems like Katan will not be the real holder of the sabre without a duel. We might even watch Din Djarin as the leader of the re-built of Mandalorian. I think this would be a good thing to take the story to the next level.
What Is the Book of Boba Fett?
While we thought season 2 ended with an exciting episode, the new post-credit scene is like a bomb. Jabba who saves Boba Fett’s life who came back to Tatooine got hold of that place and took the throne by killing Bib Fortuna who runs the place. The Book of Boba Fett, coming on December 2021” following this scene throw a curve. The project is announced today.
The team behind The Mandalorian which include Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni will also have Robert Rodriguez in the TV show. We will watch Temura Morrison and Ming-Na Wen in the lead roles just like we did in Mando. The TV show will be released on the last days of 2021 and it will be in the same timeline as The Mandalorian. Also, the connection between this TV show and The Mandalorian season 3 is a mystery. Season 3 which is expected to be released in the same period will give us a chance to know about the entire universe if the storyline is parallel.
When Can We Watch the Mandalorian Season 3 Trailer?
We know that the season 3 shooting did not start. Since we know the studio has nothing, it is impossible to tell anything about the trailer. But there are few things we have learned from the first two seasons of The Mandalorian: the time between the shooting and first trailer date is the same. The Mandalorian shooting started in October 2018, the trailer was released in August 2019 and the first episode was released in November. For the 2nd season, the shooting started in November 2019, the trailer was released on 15 September 2020.
The new season trailer will be released 8-10 months after the shooting starts. Since Boba Fett will be released by the end of 2021, we can see Boba Feet first trailer around September-October 2021. We will watch the season 3 trailer 9 months after “The Mandalorian Season 3 Shooting Started” news. We are counting down to this exciting news.
Who Will We See in Season 3 Cast?
One of the best things about The Mandalorian is that the characters in the first two seasons are satisfactory. Cara Dune played by Gina Carano and Greef Karga played by Carl Weathers in the first season have become an important part of the story. Also, we can’t miss Moff Gideon on season 2. Boba Fett, Bo Katan and Ahsoka Tano entered the adventure on season 2 and we are all amazed by the TV show with the Jedi glory in the last episode.
It is not possible to know all the actors for season 3 but we know some of them. Sophie Thatcher will probably be in season 3 but we do not know which character she will play. If there will be more Jedis, we can see Ahsoka again. Also, the character will have a solo TV show. We will watch Gideon a lot in season 3. Greef Karga and Cara Dune will be back in the story. But there are unlimited options for surprise cast. Who knows, this time Mando’s path might cross Han Solo in the new season and we can see younger Harrison Ford thanks to CGI.
