Star Wars is entering the era of The Mandalorian! At the galaxy’s outer rim, in the chaos and lawlessness that follows the fall of The Empire, one man stands out - a mysterious bounty hunter who flies under the radar of the New Republic. The story of Din Djarin has all the makings of a classic. A decent man who lives by an ancient code in the lawless outskirts of the galaxy, trying to do right by his creed, and at the same time protecting a small child whose life has suddenly become entwined with his own.
By the end of season 2 the cheers were deafening and a consensus had emerged amongst fans - the connection between a lethal and lonely man and a lovable lost creature was a journey definitely worth the ride. The Mandalorian is fast developing into one of the best Star Wars adventures in recent times, delighting initiated aficionados and wide-eyed new recruits alike by offering a welcome return to the original spirit of the space fantasy. For those who spent their childhood captivated by George Lucas’s original movie masterpieces, The Mandalorian ties together various strands of Star Wars lore, bringing a fascinating new perspective to the much-loved universe.
The sketchy bars, colorful characters, bandits of all types and desolate towns in The Mandalorian have re-ignited a spark of nostalgia for the Star Wars of old, whilst offering up iconic new characters as well as Star Wars fan-favorites along the way. The irresistible enigma known to viewers as ‘Baby Yoda’ (officially ‘The Child’) has inspired thousands of memes and adoring new fans.
The Book of Boba Fett and an explosion of Mandalorian lore
So, what does the latest saga in the Star Wars universe have in store? The Book of Boba Fett is set to introduce a new side of the criminal underworld in the post-Empire galaxy, with the iconic green and red Mandalorian armor taking center stage in Boba’s very own spin-off story. Of course, there’s also Season 3 of The Mandalorian to look forward to…
When we last encountered Din Djarin he had defeated Moff Gideon and, by extension, become the rightful owner of the Darksaber and thus leader of the Mandalorians. Fans will be on the edge of their intergalactic seats to see how this development will be further explored in the story going forward.
In season 3 Pedro Pascal will be reprising his role as the gruff-voiced Mandalorian we all know and love, Carl Weathers will be returning as Greef Karga and Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon. There has been a sugges
tion that a large number of Mandalorians will also be appearing in the upcoming season. Could this herald a return of the Mandalorian Protectors? If so, how will the destinies of our heroes be shaped? Whatever happens, fans are guaranteed a veritable explosion of new Mandalorian lore to look forward to!
