Everything you need to know about Season 3 of The Mandalorian

Season 3 of Mandalorian – available now on Disney+ Hotstar – marks the return of the Star Wars series after a two-year hiatus, which saw our leads Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu/Baby Yoda play prominent roles in The Book of Boba Fett. This new chapter begins right after the couple’s reunion, when the adorable grogu decides to give up Jedi training with Luke Skywalker (an aging Mark Hamill) to spend time with Mando. Not to mention that Djarin now wields the Darksaber, an ancient black-bladed lightsaber whose mysterious curse has profound implications for the fate of the planet Mandalore.

Our heroes this time embark on an interstellar journey to Mandalore, a planet that has suffered from many great wars and conflicts within the tribes that inhabit it. Creator Jon Favreau suggests that in The Mandalorian Season 3, we will see the desolate wasteland it turned into after The Great Mandalorian Purge, where they came into conflict with the First Galactic Empire. “It’s kind of a tragic history that this planet has, but also a romantic vision of what used to be,” Favreau said total movie. “We inherited the designs from David [Filoni] and his team, and then we wanted to show what happened and we make some references to the Mandalore purge; In Boba Fett’s bookwe show a montage of destruction. And now, when we return to the planet, we can see in the harsh sunlight what the aftermath of all that destruction was.”

While The Mandalorian Season 3 was filmed during the COVID-19 Pandemic made Favreau feel in a reasonably safe position, with most of his characters wearing some kind of mask or helmet. “We also have a lot of digital work that expands things. So we’re a show that’s probably well-equipped to be flexible based on the protocols that are emerging around restarting work,” Favreau said in one interview. Using digital methods to its advantage has allowed the show to maintain a scale similar to that of the big screen war of stars movies. if you remember The Mandalorian was the first to use ILMs StageCraft – a production technology that relies on giant LED screens to create backdrops on set rather than filming in real locations. The technician was later featured in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniaand the recently cancelled Netflix Series, 1899.
