Fall Finales: The Mandalorian - Season 3

The third season of The Mandalorian included a guest appearance by LIZZO. Yes, Lizzo!

Also starring Pedro Pascal The Mandalorian, a bounty hunter traveling to Mandalore to redeem his past transgressions with his adopted son Grogu and being aided on their journey by fellow Mandalorian Bo-Katan Kryze.

Set after the events of Return of the Jedi (1983), the eight-episode season premiered on the streaming service Disney+ at the start of March, concluding this week. Apparently a fourth season is in development.


Spoiler warnings ahead! WARNING!

In the finale, Bo-Katan and her reconnaissance squad retreat from Moff Gideon's base. Upon returning to the Mandalorian flagship, Axe Woves sends the remaining Mandalorians to reinforce the planetary troops, while he defends the ship from Imperial TIE squadrons. 

With assistance from Grogu, Din Djarin escapes from captivity and seeks out Gideon. Djarin and Grogu discover cloning tanks filled with clones of Gideon, and Djarin destroys them. After a lengthy skirmish between the Mandalorians and the beskar-enhanced stormtroopers within the base, Bo-Katan, Djarin, and Grogu make a final stand against Gideon and his Praetorian Guards, in which the Darksaber is destroyed.

Woves rams the Mandalorian capital ship into the Imperial base and Gideon is consumed by the resulting blast; Grogu protects Bo-Katan and Djarin from the blast with a force bubble. After the battle, the Mandalorians restart the Great Forge at the heart of Mandalore and Djarin formally adopts Grogu.

Afterwards, Djarin takes up honest contract work with Carson Teva and moves into a cabin on the outskirts of Nevarro's capital, as previously offered to him by Greef Karga, while IG-11 is rebuilt by the Anzellan mechanics to serve as Nevarro's new marshal.

It was a fun season three. Season four is apparently filming by the end of 2023, so we may see season four in 2025.

Upcoming is my review of the hit Netflix series, Beef. Coming soon a trip to Ireland with Bad Sisters. Also I'm off to the United States of America in July/August. Lots to come in 2023! Stick around folks x
