IT HAS BEEN been a while since we last saw The Mandalorian (real name: Din Djarin, played by Pedro Pascal) and his loyal and deceptively powerful cute little friend Grogu (commonly known as Baby Yoda), and even longer since we saw episodes of The Mandalorian on Disney+. We got the surprise that this dynamic duo got back together in early 2022 then Boba Fett’s book kind of become The Mandalorian Season 2.5 halfway through, but now, for the first time since 2020, we’re back for Season 3 of the real thing, baby.
Clearly, 2023 has already been an important year for emotionally distant anti-heroes played by Pedro Pascal who find themselves reluctantly attached to a special young person whom they help on an ever-important journey. That’s what the setup is for The last of us, HBO’s hit post-apocalyptic drama based on the video game of the same name, and it’s also essentially the basis of The Mandalorian. But where The last of us leans into his prestige drama, The Mandalorian has always leaned on the fact that it is essentially a 30-45 minute Western. And that’s great. This show is going for a different kind of storytelling than say Andor– which was the hugely successful Star Wars version of a prestigious drama – and there is a place for both.
With Mando and Grogu essentially reunited for good, it looks like Season 3 could find us once again with some fun guest stars and an exciting season-long plot. Season 2 wrapped up a lot of things – main villain Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) was dealt with, for example – and it looks like Season 3 will be a great opportunity to get some new plot threads off the ground. Hey, whatever works. As long as they make the Mandalorian, we’ll look.
