A few months back, speculation buzzed about the continuation of Mando’s adventures in a feature film. Season 3 concluded with Moff Gideon apparently vanquished and Mando embracing Grogu as his ward and son, Din Grogu. Their apparent tranquility hints at the emergence of a new threat for Season 4.
Jon Favreau, the mastermind behind ‘The Mandalorian’ TV series, asserted that the script for Season 4 was already complete even before Season 3 concluded. However, recent indications suggest that the fourth season might not materialize after all.
Recently, confirmation emerged about an upcoming film centered on Mandalorian & Grogu. Directed by Jon Favreau and produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Dave Filoni, this new project is set to commence filming in 2024.
While details about the movie remain scarce, industry insider Jeff Sneider suggests that Sigourney Weaver is in discussions to join the cast, though her role remains undisclosed at this time.

The rumors that Mando’s adventures will continue as a movie were relevant several months ago. Season 3 wrapped up with Moff Gideon seemingly defeated for good and Mando officially adopting Grogu, making him his little apprentice and his son, Din Grogu. They seemed to find peace, which means a completely new threat ought to emerge for Season 4 to happen.
Jon Favreau – the creator of ‘The Mandalorian‘ TV series – claimed that the script for ‘The Mandalorian’ Season 4 was finished even before Season 3 officially ended, and now it seems that the fourth season might not even happen after all.
Some time ago it was confirmed that a movie focusing on Mandalorian & Grogu is in development. his new movie, directed by Jon Favreau and produced alongside Kathleen Kennedy and Dave Filoni, is scheduled to begin production in 2024.

Throughout The Mandalorian's short history, there have been numerous twists and turns at every level from the revelation that Din Djarin's bounty was a member of Yoda's species, to the fact that Moff Gideon had successfully cloned himself.

Season 3 of The Mandalorian heavily featured Emily Swallow's The Armorer, but will fans see her return in Season 4 of the Disney+ show?
After Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin was banished by The Armorer from his Mandalorian covert in The Book of Boba Fett, he set out to cleanse himself in the waters of Mandalore so that he could be welcomed back with open arms.
However, he ultimately ran into some trouble and enlisted the help of not only The Armorer and his Mandalorian friends but also Bo-Katan Kryze and her group of Mandalorians who had radically different beliefs.

The animated Netflix series based on the Castlevania video game franchise wrapped up back in 2021 after a four season, 32 episode run – but if you were left wanting to see more Castlevania after watching that show, you’re in luck. Castlevania is getting a spin-off follow-up called Castlevania: Nocturne that’s set to make its Netflix debut on September 28th! With that date just two months away, a teaser trailer has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.
Set in 1792, during the French Revolution, Castlevania: Nocturne focuses on Maria Renard and Richter Belmont, a descendant of Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades.

Season 3 of "The Mandalorian" ended on a glorious note. The Mandalorians were able to reclaim their home planet, Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) was defeated, and our favorite father-son duo, Din (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu even got their own little home in Nevarro. Despite assuming an often directionless, meandering pace, season 3 of the show had some impressive highlights, including a flashback to Order 66 from Grogu's point of view. When The Armorer (Emily Swallow) forges Grogu a beskar rondel, the kid has some intense flashbacks to the fateful night, and it is revealed that Jedi master Kelleran Beq (Ahmed Best) was the one who saved him during the purge at the Jedi temple.
This begs the question, was Grogu ever at the risk of running into Anakin Skywalker, who had already turned to the Dark Side by then? As Anakin was the one...

Hope has always been at the core of "Star Wars." One need look no further for the proof than the adventures of lovable tin can himbo Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his adopted little green son, the newly-renamed Din Grogu, on "The Mandalorian." When the show began, Djarin was a ruthless bounty hunter living out of his spaceship and accepting any job that paid. However, by the end of the season 3 finale, he had found a way to make a more honorable livelihood, secured a comfortable homestead for Grogu and himself, and helped unite Mandalore's myriad tribes against their shared enemy.
Hope is similarly at the heart of Bo-Katan Kryze's (Katee Sackhoff) journey on the show. Despite the exiled Mandalore ruler's completely justified wariness of Djarin and the extremist cult from which he hails, a close encounter with a...

This post contains spoilers for the season 3 finale of "The Mandalorian," "The Return."
Season 3 of "The Mandalorian" just came to a thrilling conclusion that should go down as one of the best episodes in the series and one of the most accomplished finales Star Wars has ever produced, animated or otherwise. Chapter 24, "The Return," showed Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) and The Armorer (Emily Swallow) battling Imperial Super Commandos in mid-air, a final showdown (perhaps) between Din Djarin and Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito), and Grogu Force pushing a fireball just like Kanan Jarrus in "Star Wars Rebels." What more could you possibly want?
More Mandalorian armor, perhaps? Sure! The ending of "The Return" lives up to its name when the true inhabitants of Mandalore restore their home planet and reignite the Great Forge, ensuring that the ancient craftsmanship of molding and forging beskar armor will hopefully be preserved for a new generation.

Talk about a glow-up. Season 3 of "The Mandalorian" has primarily concerned itself with exploring the eponymous group of castaways and their myriad cultural beliefs, from the significance of mythosaurs to earning the right to wield the Darksaber to the importance of reclaiming their lost home world of Mandalore. But despite being pushed to the background for several stretches of the season, our favorite Force-sensitive little miscreant has somehow managed to save one of the most surprising reveals of the finale for himself.

The Mandalorian season 3 is coming to an end, and things aren’t looking great for the Mandalorians. Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff) has finally united the Mandalorian clans behind the Darksaber, only for her landing party to fall into Moff Gideon’s (Giancarlo Esposito) trap at the Great Forge on Mandalore. Meanwhile, Grogu is once again separated from his father when Din is captured by the Empire. Things could get even worse: it’s possible the Mandalorians will soon discover that one of their own is a spy for Gideon.
Even though this season hasn’t been the most consistent, all of the pieces seem to come together in “The Spies,” and we can’t wait to see how this season wraps up all these story threads. Here’s everything you need to know before the season 3 finale of The Mandalorian…

The following article contains spoilers for "The Mandalorian" season 3, episode 7.
There is only one episode left in season 3 of "The Mandalorian." So far, the storyline has largely focused on the retaking of Mandalore, Din Djarin's (Pedro Pascal) redemption, and Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) returning to rule her people. While that has been the main narrative, another big stand-out, at least for me, is the arc of the Armorer (Emily Swallow). Though she originally sounded very strident in her beliefs regarding the Death Watch clan's rules and regulations, more of her character has been revealed as the season has progressed.
The Armorer isn't strident at all. She merely holds the line her faith tells her to, enforces rules without judgment (at least none that we see) in a matter-of-fact way, and leads her people. What has been so surprising, however, is to see how open she is to follow a different...

As "The Mandalorian" has continued to progress and explore the war culture and complicated history of Mandalore, the Armorer has become an essential character within the overall arc of the series. Played wonderfully by actor Emily Swallow, the Armorer has emerged as a mentor and guide for Din Djarin and, now, Bo-Katan Kryze as they all work together to try and unite the scattered Mandalorian clans across the galaxy. She's steered by a greater sense of purpose that binds the Children of the Watch together and makes it seem like they're destined for greatness. Knowing the history of Mandalorian culture allows her to keep one foot in the past and one in the present, working as a kind of bridge between the ancient stories of the Old Republic and the budding possibilities of the New Republic era.

"The Mandalorian" season 3 penultimate, episode, "The Spies," finally gathers factions of Mandalorians to retake their home planet of Mandalore. This rattles Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) because if conflicting Mandalorian factions are organizing instead of remaining divided, then they will be a force to reckon with.
The titular Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) hails from a significant faction: The Children of the Watch. Throughout "The Mandalorian," he has loyally served the sect that rescued him from a Separatist army on his home planet and raised him on Concordia. He based his virtues on their creed: raise foundlings with care, protect his fellow Mandalorian, and keep his helmet on. As his counselor and chieftain, the cryptic Armorer (Emily Swallow) often tested him on his relationship to his Mandalorian piety, counseled him with answers, and forged his beskar armor and weaponry.

As we dust off our best beskar armor and head to the Great Forge on Mandalore, The Mandalorian is poised to deliver the biggest finale of the show’s three-season run. More than just the inevitable battle between Moff Gideon and Bo-Katan Kryze — presumably with the latter riding in on a Mythosaur, right? — fans are also predicting a villainous reveal that would rock Mandalore to its core.
Since her arrival in The Mandalorian premiere, Emily Swallow’s stoic Armorer has become a staple of the series despite never revealing her face or true name. While there have been plenty of theories about which famed Mandalorian is presumably hiding under the majestic horned helmet, “The Spies” might’ve just set up an Armorer twist for the ages.

While Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin and Katee Sackhoff’s Bo-Katan Kryze are at the heart of The Mandalorian, there are no shortage of great actors and new characters making their way to the Star Wars galaxy this year. We’ve already seen Mark Hamill return as Luke Skywalker as well as Rosario Dawson bringing fan-favorite Ahsoka Tano to live-action. And of course, the series is anchored by returning cast like Carl Weathers as Greef Karga, Emily Swallow as the Armorer, and Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon.
Let’s take a look at all the characters, both new and returning, that have made their way to The Mandalorian season 3:

The season one finale of "The Mandalorian" introduced a terrifying new weapon for viewers of the series: the Darksaber. In the episode's final moments, it's revealed that the villainous Moff Gideon, an Imperial officer who has personally hunted down and murdered untold numbers of Mandalorians, had this legendary weapon. While that episode served as the weapon's entry into the live-action universe, viewers of the Star Wars animated shows recognized it right away. And it all comes down to some of the backstory of Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) and the Mandalore home world.
Here's what we know about the Darksaber and what role it's playing in season three.
What Is the Darksaber?
The Darksaber, in simplest terms, is a black lightsaber. But it's a weapon that has deep historic ties to Mandalore and its people. According to the lore of the extended Star Wars universe, the weapon was first wielded by Tarre Vizsla,...

Mumbai, April 3 (Ians) Rick Famuyiwa, who has also directed three episodes of Season 3 of the ‘Star Wars’ series ‘The Mandalorian’, feels that the primary reason behind the show’s success is that it is very elemental, relatable and human in its storytelling approach.
In the new season, Din Djarin, once a lone bounty hunter, has been reunited with Grogu, a child of Yoda’s species whom he rescued and subsequently turned over to Luke Skywalker at the end of Season 2.
Talking about the narrative progression, Rick said: “The great thing about Season 3 is that, in many ways, it’s the culmination of the first two seasons and the original ideas of the Mandalorian and the Mandalorian culture and what that means specifically to Din Djarin.”
The series returns Pedro Pascal as the Mandalorian (Din Djarin), Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan Kryze, Carl Weathers as Greef Karga, Amy Sedaris as Peli Motto,...

The Mandalorian, Disney+’s most popular installment in the Star Wars world, tells the story of Din Djarin, better known as the Mandalorian (played by Pedro Pascal), who works to protect the young Grogu who is of the same species as Yoda. Emily Swallow plays The Armorer in the show.
In an exclusive interview with uInterview founder Erik Meers, Swallow discussed what it was like being in The Armorer’s costume.
“Well surprisingly, my prep for shooting for this character is easier than anything that I do when I’m just a normal human being where you see my face because it takes about two hours to do hair and makeup for regular roles, and it takes me about 10 minutes to get into my armor, so it’s cake,” she laughed. “I love it, don’t have to worry about those super early morning calls, it does sort of feel like a ritual,...

From animation to live-action, the Mandalorian known as Bo-Katan Kryze (both iterations played by Katee Sackhoff) has gone through a messy redemption quest. Perhaps "redemption" may be too generous of a word. Kryze is a woman of many facets: extremist warmonger, attempted savior of Mandalore, violator of Mandalorian treaties by teaming up with the Republic military, (apparent) rightful wielder of the Darksaber, and now a guest member of a Mandalorian cult.
Bo-Katan walked many convoluted and compelling paths in the name of liberating her shattered Mandalore homeworld. Like the symbol of the Darksaber, Bo-Katan's idea of liberating and leading Mandalore has assumed many shapes, some unsavory and some noble, but always shaded by gray morality. The most recent chapter of "The Mandalorian, "The Pirate," steers Bo-Katan back into the higher calling of unifying Mandalore, but in a way that also belies the atrocities of her past allegiances.

The plot thickens in the latest episode of "The Mandalorian," where we witness Din Djarin's (Pedro Pascal) Mando covertly aiding Nevarro against a pirate attack and a massive setup for Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff) to finally retake Mandalore. A lot went down in the final 20 minutes of "The Pirate," including an especially charged scene between Bo and The Armorer (Emily Swallow), where the latter asks her to remove her helmet as she "walks both worlds," making her an exception to the strict no helmet rule that The Children of the Watch are so religiously devoted to.
Additionally, the episode ends with a rather shocking twist: Captain Carson Teva (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) discovers that Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) never made it to trial as he was extracted from the ship that was supposed to carry out the transfer. On scanning...

The following article contains spoilers for "The Mandalorian" season 3, episode 4.
The "Star Wars" franchise has a whole lot of orphans. Like so many of Disney's main characters, a lot of characters in the galaxy far, far away are without parents. Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Boba Fett, Din Djarin, Grogu, Anakin Skywalker, Ezra Bridger, Bo-Katan Kryze, Han Solo, and Rey (painful swallow) Skywalker, all lost their main caregivers. However, many of them have created a found family that provides comfort and someone (sometimes a whole group) to raise them and share their lives.
In the Mandalorian culture, orphans are called foundlings, and it's tradition to raise them, train them, and teach them the ways of the far-flung group. Most of the Mandalorian people these days are human, but the Taung were Mandalorians, and so is little Grogu, the adorable almost-Jedi who comes from an as-yet unnamed species.

Season 3 of “The Mandalorian” deviated from the central plot in an intriguing manner during Episode 3, “The Convert.” Most of the running time was focused on the former-Imperial Dr. Pershing (Omid Abtahi) as he tries to rehabilitant his life with the New Republic on Coruscant. Pershing is ultimately betrayed by his supposed ally Elia Kane (Katy O’Brian), which is curiously the first villainous action of Season 3. Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) is sidelined and supposedly mind-flayed (though it’s a good bet we haven’t seen the last of him), leaving a void in the series for a new “Big Bad” to fill. Several clues were present during the adventures of Pershing and Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) this week, pointing to a larger menace lurking behind the scenes. Here are the best guesses as to who may serve as the villain of the season.

This post contains spoilers for the latest episode of "The Mandalorian."
"Star Wars" fans had to go without "The Mandalorian" for more than two years following the conclusion of season 2 and, for many of us, it felt like forever. Now, it somehow feels like it's been no time at all as we're rolling right along through season 3. The latest episode, "The Foundling," is a relatively short adventure, but one that gave us much to chew on. From a big Order 66 flashback to yet another monster that Mando and his clan need to deal with, it's jam-packed. Perhaps overlooked in the proceedings is the fact that we learned a little bit more about the helmet rule that the Children of the Watch hold onto, and we now have a great many questions.

Whether we all like it or not, our beloved Grogu is being taught the so-called "true" Way in "The Mandalorian." This, as you can imagine, is a bit of a double-edged sword — while we are all for the Jedi-to-be honing in his skills, it also sets him on a potentially dangerous path full of creepy religious tenets and poor safety precautions. So far, it's not looking like the Children of the Watch are any more sympathetic, but at least they recognize that Grogu has potential for greatness. I, personally, can agree with them on that.
On the bright side, the latest episode of "The Mandalorian" proved that we shouldn't expect Grogu to don the Mandalorian helmet for a while. We see this before his adoptive father Din (Pedro Pascal) puts him in a training exercise with a young Mando foundling – when asked why...

The twentieth chapter of "The Mandalorian" is called "The Foundling" and is directed by Greef Karga himself, Carl Weathers. It was a surprise, then, to not see Greef Karga in this installment at all. Instead, the episode, co-written by Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau, focused on the Mandalorian covert. Din Djarin and Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) have settled into the culture of the covert, even if it's a bit uneasily. Grogu is content to play with creatures on the shore while the other Mandalorians train, but Din insists that Grogu must train with the others. After besting Ragnar in a match with training darts, Grogu watches as a massive flying creature abducts Ragnar and takes it to its lair. Din and Paz Vizsla give chase with their jetpacks, but they quickly run out of fuel before finding the beast's lair.

While the latest installment of "The Mandalorian" focuses on a Children of the Watch rescue mission, the episode also takes a detour pivot to the fateful night of Order 66 on Coruscant, showcasing how Grogu was rescued from the Jedi Temple. This segue occurs in a rather organic way when Grogu relives his past while the Armorer (Emily Swallow) forges a new beskar rondel for the child. Jar Jar Binks voice-actor Ahmed Best returns in his first full-fledged live-action appearance as Jedi Master Kelleran Beq, having previously played the character in the kids' game show "Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge." Needless to say, it is thrilling to see Best return, especially in a pivotal role where his character saves Grogu's life.

Jon Favreau is talking about The Mandalorian, the Disney+ series set in the Star Wars universe. With the current third season almost over, the filmmaker is opening up about how long the show could last for.
“I’m having a blast, and I love working with Dave, and I love how the characters develop over time,” he said on EW’s Dagobah Dispatch podcast. “I also love that there are other stories now being told in that same time period, like Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew.“
He later said, “I’ve really enjoyed working with this group of people and I love collaborating with all these different filmmakers and different storytellers, both from the directors we work with, and other showrunners like Dave and, and others like [Skeleton Crew’s] Jon Watts and Chris Ford.”

At the end of the second episode of the third season of "The Mandalorian," Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) makes it to the living waters in the mines of Mandalore with the help of Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) and Grogu (aka Baby Yoda). He's intent on bathing there to atone for his transgression: taking off his mask, an absolute no-no under The Way that he follows.
He's obviously happy to have made it there, but when he begins the ritual that would cleanse him, he's sucked under the water. Bo-Katan dives in after him, finds him at the bottom of the water, and carries him to the surface. But not before seeing what attacked him - the Mythosaur. The Mythosaur is a legendary beast with ties to the very existence to Mandalorians, and it looks like it means big, big changes are coming for all Mandalorians - and for Din. Ahead,...

As an actor, making the jump from the video game world into live action isn't always possible. But thanks to the HBO series "The Last of Us," that transition has become a reality for some. For example, actor Troy Baker recently played the creepy character James in episode 8, "When We Are in Need," after portraying Joel Miller in "The Last of Us" game. Hoping to follow suit, actress Emily Swallow, who did the voice acting and mo-cap work for her now-deceased character in the game's sequel, "The Last of Us Part II," is ready for her closeup in the actual live-action series.
Naturally, going from a hugely successful video game to a hit HBO series would be a real accomplishment. In a recent interview with /Film's own Sarah Bea Milner, Swallow made it clear that she's more than willing to appear in season 2 of "The Last of Us," a move...

She creates armor and weapons and knows how to work with beskar, yes, but she's also the spiritual and moral leader of her growing covert. The Armorer is the one who performs the ceremony to induct younger members of the covert into their adult roles, as we saw in season 3, episode 1. She counsels members like Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) who are struggling with issues of conscience and upholds the tenets of her Mandalorian sect, The Children of the Watch.
This sect vows in adolescence to never remove their helmets in the presence of others, even family or partners. It's been a central theme of the show, with Din removing his helmet and becoming an apostate. To change that status, he had to bathe in the Living...

In the latest episode of "The Mandalorian," Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) has redeemed himself in the eyes of his sect's spiritual leader, the Armorer (Emily Swallow). Din, of course, became an apostate after removing his helmet, something the Mandalorians of his sect are forbidden to do once they don it in a ceremony we witnessed this season. To remedy his state, the Armorer told him he must bathe in the living waters in the Mines of Mandalore. Of course, she didn't think Din could do it, as the planet is supposedly still ruined after the events of the Night of a Thousand Tears.
Though it is destroyed, the air is now breathable, and Din, Grogu, and Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) travel to the mines. Their mission accomplished, they've returned to the Armorer's covert to have his status lifted. She graciously lifts Bo-Katan's as well,...

Luckily, Din Djarin arrived in the knick of time to save them.

This week's episode of "The Mandalorian," titled "The Convert," has multiple meanings.
"The Convert" starts out in familiar territory -- right after Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff) saves Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) from drowning in the living waters and encounters a real life Mythosaur, her entire belief system has been challenged. Though, she won't let Din see that yet. As the two try to walk their separate ways, they are attacked by an overwhelmingly large squadron of Tie Interceptors. Who are their Imperial attackers now that Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) has reportedly been arrested? We don't know yet.
As Bo-Katan's home on Kalevala is destroyed by Tie Bombers, she makes a quick escape with Din Djarin to somewhere the Imperials can't find them. All of a sudden, after the usual "Mandalorian" title sequence, the perspective of the episode takes a bold switch...

"Star Wars" has never been shy about its influences. Most famously, George Lucas made no attempts to hide the fact that he borrowed heavily from Akira Kurosawa and old-school "Flash Gordon" serials for the original trilogy. "Rogue One," as another example, leaned heavily into its trappings as a war movie to depict a rarely-seen, ground-level perspective on the epic galactic struggle between the Rebellion and the Empire. And even shows like "The Mandalorian" have worn their inspirations on their sleeve, as in the season 2 episode "The Passenger" that took its cues from "Alien" and "Predator" and plunged the series into horror.
Season 3 of "The Mandalorian" got off to a relatively slow and subdued start last week, but this latest episode kicked the story into a higher gear -- and evoked yet another pop culture touchstone in the process.

Sometimes big power comes in small packages.

Now another tiny little green guy of the same unnamed species has proven that, like Yoda, he's an absolute badass and I'm not just talking about his Force powers, either.
Grogu is a smart little dude, seemingly understanding everything that is said to him, despite being unable to speak more than a sort of word when he sees Peli Motto (Amy Sedaris).

Warning: This article contains major spoilers for the second episode of "The Mandalorian" season 3.
Lightsabers have been a staple of the "Star Wars" franchise since Luke Skywalker saw one for the first time in the Tatooine cave of Obi-Wan Kenobi in "A New Hope." Over the decades, we've learned about the different styles of lightsabers, the Kyber crystals needed to create them, what the different colors might mean, and how to wield them. The Darksaber is a bit different than the rest, however. It was created by Tarre Vizsla a thousand years before "The Mandalorian" takes place. Tarre was the first to be both a Mandalorian and a Jedi, despite the fact that those two groups have a less-than-friendly history. The Jedi held it in their Temple until the Mandalorians freed it. Now their lore says the wielder of the Darksaber has the right to rule Mandalore, but only if they win it through combat.

Dave Filoni, who serves as executive producer on Season 3 of ‘The Mandalorian’, has revealed why the story returns to Mandalore. Season 3 of the show holds many surprises for the viewers along with a relatable story filled with the action, excitement and unforgettable characters that only ‘Star Wars’ can bring to screens.
Commenting on the return to Mandalore this season, Executive producer Dave Filoni said: “When we got to the third season, we wanted to do something dynamic and different, so we felt it was time to return to Mandalore and confront just what happened there.”
He added: “What does it mean for the Mandalorians as a people and how could we bring these various groups together again? Because in Star Wars you want both a feeling of hope and adventure but with more uplifting positivity to be happening.”
“And people coming together and putting aside their differences is a pretty good reason to have hope.

[Warning: The following contains spoilers for The Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 1, “The Apostate.”] Din Djarin reunited with many familiar faces in the first episode of The Mandalorian’s third season, including Greef Karga (Carl Weathers), The Armorer (Emily Swallow) and Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff). But one of Mando’s loyal pals from the previous 16 episodes was notably absent: Gina Carano’s Cara Dune. Here’s a refresher on why she wasn’t there — and how the show explained away her absence. Why Isn’t Cara Dune in The Mandalorian’s Third Season? Carano was fired from the role after she made multiple controversial posts on social media, including one that compared being a Republican to being a Jewish person during the Holocaust. Carano also made controversial posts about the 2020 presidential election and preferred pronouns. In 2021, Lucasfilm released a statement to The Hollywood Reporter saying that Carano was “not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans...

The following article contains spoilers for "The Mandalorian" season 3, episode 1.
After a wait of over two years, "The Mandalorian" is back with a third season. As the episode opens, a group of Mandalorians -- including the Armorer (Emily Swallow) -- are fighting off a giant beast, only to be rescued by Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), who flies in with his little buddy Grogu.
Din is there to see the Armorer. As you recall from previous episodes, Din has removed his helmet, and, friends, this is not the way if you're part of the group of Mandalorians he belongs to. Din knows the only way to redeem himself and lose his apostate status is to bathe in the Living Waters beneath the Mines of Mandalore. The Grutchin in the ointment, however, is that Mandalore was destroyed during the Night of a Thousand Tears.
The Armorer is doubtful he can get there,...

Spoilers for "Star Wars: The Mandalorian" Chapter 17 – The Apostate follow.
Season 3 of "The Mandalorian" wasted no time in getting right back into the action fantasy that only "Star Wars" can deliver. In the opening minutes of the seventeenth chapter in the series, "The Apostate," the Mandalorian sect that Din Djarin was banished from is attacked by a giant super croc in a breathtaking sequence that's reminiscent of the season 2 premiere when Cob Vanth and Mando unite with the Tusken Raiders to defeat a massive Krayt dragon. In "The Apostate," Din swoops in on his N-1 Starfighter to save the day. As a reward, he is granted an audience with the Mandalorian Armorer (Emily Swallow), who once again tells Din that his only hope of redemption after removing his helmet is to return to their home planet and cleanse himself in the waters of the mines of Mandalore.

The opening scene of "The Mandalorian" season 3 is an eventful one, with a Mandalorian oath-taking ceremony being rudely interrupted by a massive aquatic reptile. The audio description for the episode identifies it as a "giant dinosaur turtle," though it's also extremely alligator-like in appearance, too. Maybe it's the outer space version of an alligator snapping turtle, munching on Mandalorians and making Earth turtles look like little punks. Seriously, this massive monster comes flying out of the water and chomps down on a grown Mando like my dog when she sneaks a French fry off the floor. Thankfully, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), the Mandalorian, shows up and blows a hole in the side of the creature, spraying viscera all over the beach, and the problem is solved. Now they just have to figure out what to do with that giant lizard.
Both turtle and alligator are pretty delicious, so I immediately...
