Followers of The Mandalorian rejoiced on Saturday when the trailer for the Disney+ sequence’ third season debuted throughout the Lucasfilm/Marvel Studios/twentieth Century Studios panel on the D23 Expo. Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal/Brendan Wayne) had lately reappeared in The E-book of Boba Fett, serving to the titular bounty hunter turned crime lord (Temuera Morrison) to carry onto his seat of energy. The Fett finale additionally noticed Djarin reunited along with his surrogate son Grogu, who turned from the methods of the Jedi to stay along with his armored father determine. Now, the Season 3 trailer exhibits the 2 touring the galaxy as soon as once more, encountering acquainted faces as Djarin learns extra about his Mandalorian heritage.
The trailer for Season 3 of The Mandalorian opens with a sequence of flashbacks overlaying the primary two seasons, significantly the bond between Djarin and Grogu. Key scenes embody the 2’s first assembly, in addition to Djarin handing Grogu the silver ball from the lever of his outdated ship the Razorcrest. The voice of the Mandalorian Armorer (Emily Swallow) is heard over these scenes: “That is the one that you just saved?” You’re as its father… a clan of two.” The scene then shifts to Djarin’s new silver N1 starfighter touchdown on a planet with quite a few mountains and buildings carved from stone. One other scene options the 2 strolling by means of a cave as Djarin attracts his blaster.
Extra scenes function the N1 navigating a wet storm, in addition to Djarin strolling by means of a desert (don’t be concerned Star Wars followers, it is not Tatooine) earlier than coming nose to nose with the Armorer. “However you’ve you eliminated your helmet,” she continues. “Then you’re a Mandalorian no extra.” Djarin belongs to a sect of Mandalorians that forbids eradicating their helmets within the presence of a residing factor; he has solely taken it off twice — as soon as for the droid IG-11 (Taika Waititi) to deal with his head wound and as soon as to bid Grogu farewell earlier than the Power-sensitive little one departed with Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill/Max Lloyd Jones). When he revealed this to the Armorer within the Fett episode titled “Return of the Mandalorian,” she mentioned that the one approach for him to regain his standing as a Mandalorian can be to return to Mandalore and search the “residing water” within the mines underneath the planet.
One drawback: Mandalore was razed by the Empire throughout the “Evening of a Thousand Tears”, forcing the Mandalorians to scatter all throughout the galaxy. And the total scale of the destruction is on show as Djarin flies by means of a darkish and stormy raincloud to view the ruins of a metropolis. Those that watch Star Wars: The Clone Wars may even acknowledge a hallway that Djarin walks by means of because the Sundari Royal Palace, the place the ruler of Mandalore resides.

And judging from her interactions with Djarin, there’s greater than a royal title that is fueling the dangerous blood between the 2. “Your cult decimated our folks,” she snarls. “The place had been you then?”
Extra footage reveals Djarin encountering different Mandalorians — with one group even colourful armor just like the one Sabine Wren wore in Star Wars Rebels. Stated Mandalorians are simply as expert as he’s, flying by means of the air and opening hearth on a ruined metropolis. The presence of different Mandalorians additionally appears to be a shock to Grogu. “Did you assume your dad was the one Mandalorian?” Bo-Katan asks the kid. Judging from that footage, plainly Season 3 will discover extra of Mandalorian tradition and the way Djarin interacts with different Mandalorians – particularly if it is true that his sect was answerable for the fracturing of the as soon as proud Mandalorian race.
There may even be extra acquainted faces showing all through Season 3, together with Greef Karga (Carl Weathers) and Peli Motto (Amy Sedaris). Karga is proven reuniting with Djarin and surrounded by a gaggle of bounty hunters, all of the whereas sporting much more elaborate robes. And that is not the solely shock. Physician Pershing (Omid Abtahi) is proven strolling by means of a hallway, having exchanged his Imperial garb for a extra rugged look. Season 2 revealed that Pershing had tried to conduct experiments on Grogu for an unrevealed goal; maybe that goal shall be revealed in future episodes. And there are many Star Wars critters, together with a tree stuffed with Kowlakian monkey-lizards and a creature who seems to be to be of the identical species as Babu Frik, the diminutive droid repairsmith from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker — if not Babu Frik himself.
The trailer ends with Djarin blasting off from a fireworks-filled metropolis in his N1, with Grogu staring in awe on the fireworks. “Cling on, child,” Djarin says. “You prepared for an additional journey?” The N1 then barrels into hyperspace, blue and white vitality swirling round it. Followers must wait till subsequent spring to see what sort of adventures are in retailer for the armored bounty hunter and his Power-sensitive cost — equivalent to who Christopher Lloyd is enjoying — however what was proven within the trailer seems to be extraordinarily promising.
The Mandalorian Season 3 hits Disney+ in February 2023.
