So what's next for the Mandalorian when it returns for Season 3?
- Thread starter MasterYoshi
- Start date
In the show, Ezra tells Sabine that he "can't wait to come home" and she's supposed to go looking for him. I assume she'll also be in the Ahsoka show.
Yeah that show should be fun. I kind of wish it came before The Book of Bobba Fett, but it's probably still in the planning stages.
Pretty much. People in this thread need to see how many Lone Wolf and Cub books/movies there are before writing off one of the most visible (and arguably best) icons of Disney-era Star Wars media.
For the people thinking time skip: any time skip that would mature Grogu enough to have lots of speaking lines or whatever would turn Mando into a old man on the verge of death. I doubt they are going that route.
I'm thinking it'll be parallel stories with Grogu and Luke, Mando and Bo, and something mid season Force something Mando needs Grogu so they reunite.

Bo-katan is still mad at Mando and will probably spend a good chunk trying to get a real fight out of Mando for the dark Saber
They will probably spend the season getting back their home planet

An actual self-contained show similar to season 1 would be great and not a fan service-fest like most of season 2 was.

More terrible writing, acting and plotting. It's basically at the level of a SyFy show when it comes to that.
I kinda want them to go "back" to Jakku now.
See what the going rate for junk : food portions is pre ep 7

The situation is basically this:
Baby Yoda is the star of the show, there's no way IMO is left out of the show for long. Lets be honest Baby Yoda is probably the most popular "new" Star Wars character since like ... Darth Maul?

I'm hoping the fan base realizes that Darth Maul is very well written at this point.
BB8 has less lore and story telling to wrap your head around. I don't think a lot of casual Star Wars fans are going to watch two different shows to get the back story for a cute droid. Shit this ep had a cute droid that you wouldn't have even noticed the significance of if you didn't play Fallen Order.
Lore and story telling potential is not popularity. Kids love BB8. Theres lots of toys and plushes just like grogu. There's youtube videos of the little toy running around with millions of views. There's a BB8 droid repair VR video game. It's fine if you personally like maul more, but just look at who has more merch.
Id probably still disagree (especially if comparing them when they were first introduced) but I guess it's kinda hard to compare.
Its a different demographic though. When phantom menace release there was a shitload of merch for darth maul. Now he's more popular with an older demographic who might not be buying plushies (kinda like how BB8 has far more merch than say Luke skywalker). That's only one metric to define popularity.
Yeah who is more popular is beside the point. I'm just saying that star wars also had a hit with BB8 as far as merch and popularity.
We can all agree that grogu is a big hit right now.
It feels a little early to be talking about S3 after what we just saw in Boba. I'm genuinely unsure even where Boba is going, unless we're going to not see Mando visit Grogu at all in either show or if it'll be a flashback in S3.
I'm also pretty convinced we won't see much of Luke, just due to the scale of expense needed to pull that off. But also the droid hole in the N1 is 100% designed for Grogu to stick his head out of.
They're definitely going to lean into the Mandalore stuff, though. How, I have no idea. It seems like the spin offs are sorta leaning towards a big team up against Thrawn (especially after the finale of Bad Batch), but who knows at this point. It's honestly pretty exciting.

Feels like Ashoka, Boba, and Mando 3 (maybe even Obiwan) will all leave breadcrumbs for the Avengers team up against Thrawn/Gideon/whoever
They thought he was going to be a hit and pumped out the merch. BB8 didn't get cast aside in the next few movies.
I mean BB8 isn't a minstrel show spoof, but whatever. It's impossible to determine what becomes popular and why. It's a lot easier to sell simple shit. I feel nothing for most of the droids in the franchise. Cool characters are a different story. I'd be down for Second Sister merch.
I'm surprised there isn't Loth Cat merch, also yes Fallen Order is full of cool shit.
Second Sister got a black series figure along with Cal, some of the troopers, and most recently a Nightbrother. Which isn't enough imo, but not tooooo shabby.
I would agree ... though sure BB8 was/is popular, but Baby Yoda, really thinking about it is maybe the most popular Star Wars character since like ... maybe Yoda himself in 1980?
I don't recall anyone saying The Force Awakens was the BB8 movie, but lots of people consider The Mandalorian as the "Baby Yoda show".
Where's the Zany and Only A Little Bloody Adventures of HK-47, Disney, you cowards.
Unfortunately, brand synergy demands that HK-47 has more than likely been usurped by BeeTee and Triple Zero as the mythologies resident homicidal droid comic relief.
Retaking mandalore from who? I was under impression the empire leave after they nuke the planet, the planet may not be habitable anymore
Rebels and Clone Wars got a rocky start, so there's not an insignificant number of people who dropped it, and while I have no intention of derailing the thread and I am a fan of quality animation, there are still people who mentally put animation in an entertainment ghetto. Also, Clone Wars went away and that was a final season item, and with all the other shit going on, missing one episode or forgetting one detail isn't a travesty. I couldn't remember where I saw the little droid was from and I beat that game, but I feel like I lost one year of my life, and remembering things before the COVID gap is sometimes foggy.
This was already confirmed I'm pretty sure, when they announced the Ahsoka show!
Kathleen said something along the lines of the shows having a big cross over or something like that.
And it makes sense, I'd imagine the final cross over could look something like this:
Mando squad:
Mando, Grogu, Luke, Bo Katan and the Nite Owls, Greef, The Children of the Watch and potentially new Mandalorians and maybe even the BD droid.
Boba squad:
Boba, Fennic, Black Kraasantan, Boba's crime syndicate, (hoping for Cad Bane too)
Ahsoka squad:
Ahsoka, Sabine, Ezra, Rex, Hera, Zeb, Ketsu, Kallus, Wolffe, Hondo, the Rebel Alliance/New Republic
I can only imagine what went through their heads when Ahsoka popped up...animation can be in the entertainment ghetto, but man does Mandalorian reference that stuff.
Oh god seeing Cad Bane again would be so dope, same with Ezra and Sabine (she better come back with pimped out armor.)
The Mandalorian is a weird situation where the "main character" isn't actually the "main character" in the eyes of the general public, so I'm not sure they can keep Baby Yoda off the show for long. And then that also brings up the whole is CGI Luke coming back? How are they going to handle that? Can you have like an episode or two of Mando + CG Luke + Grogu?
It'll be interesting to see but I don't think Baby Yoda is away for long.

I gotta believe that will be the plot to Ahsoka; finding where he and Thrawn are.
Clone Wars and Rebels is some of the best lore and Star Wars content in 20 years.
FITE ME
If I get blessed with live action Cad Bane, Hondo and Zeb I will blast off into orbit lol
I think the black smith and her crew will become enemies because of their fanaticism.
Gideon is probably a former Mandalorian, who is essentially the opposite of the smith and co.
So Mando becomes the "good" ruler because he isn't an extremist, that will essentially be his plot; bringing people together and redefining their culture.

I don't care whose show it's in as long as the content is integrated well. I don't want Ezra to hijack Ahsoka's show, but if he joins the show and Him, Sabine and Ahsoka are integrated well it's all good. Also yeah I started off being iffy on Clone Wars and Rebels and now I consider them essential viewings.
Absolutely. Both are top tier Star Wars are what gives me hope that Mando will eventually reach that level, even with it's ups and downs so far.
