A quick primer for The Mandalorian and Grogu, outlining Din Djarin’s evolving role and his adoptive bond with Grogu, Mando’s move to align with the New Republic, the lingering criminal influence of the Hutts, the Empire’s fractured state between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, and Grogu’s status as a Mandalorian apprentice, plus a note on cameos and nostalgia to watch for in the movie.
Critics are divided on The Mandalorian and Grogu: some hail it as a thrilling, fun summer blockbuster with big battles and Grogu moments, praising the score and the carefree vibe; others call it emotionless and dull, an expanded TV-style chapter that doesn’t push Din Djarin forward and feels like a colorless, made-for-TV movie. The film, directed by Jon Favreau with Pedro Pascal and Sigourney Weaver, marks Star Wars’ big-screen return and is the first theatrical release under new Lucasfilm bosses Filoni and Brennan, opening May 22.
Pedro Pascal's absence from The Mandalorian season 3 was due to scheduling issues with his other project, The Last of Us. Although he wore the suit for a couple of episodes, he wasn't able to appear on camera. This explains why Din Djarin didn't remove his helmet during the season. The Mandalorian is expected to return for a fourth season.
The Mandalorian Season 3 finale sets up a "soft reboot" for Season 4, with the big plot threads seemingly resolved. The reunited Mandalorian race joins together for the initiation of Paz Vizsla's son, and Mando adopts Grogu as his apprentice. The Din family settles down on Nevarro, but with Season 4 already underway, it's likely a new beginning for the episodic story of a man picking up freelance work, this time bringing his kid along to learn the family business.
In the season 3 finale of "The Mandalorian," Din Djarin and Grogu team up with Bo-Katan Kryze to defeat Moff Gideon and his Imperial troopers. They discover Gideon's cloning lab and destroy it, but Gideon ultimately dies in a fiery explosion. Bo-Katan becomes the official ruler of Mandalore, and Din adopts Grogu as his son. The season ends with no mid-credits or post-credits scene, but co-creator Jon Favreau has said that he and Dave Filoni have already written scripts for season 4.
In the penultimate episode of The Mandalorian season 3, Moff Gideon plans to create an army to bring order to the galaxy and orders an attack on the Mandalorian fleet. Bo-Katan and her team go to Mandalore to scout things out and are ambushed by stormtroopers clad in beskar. Din is tied up by the troopers and Gideon arrives, boasting of his new Dark Trooper suit and plan to create an army. Bo uses the Darksaber to escape, while Paz Viszla sacrifices himself to hold off the commandos. Grogu says his first words and pilots IG-12.
