When Will ‘The Mandalorian’ Season 3 Episode 1 Arrive? Spoilers & Speculations:‘The Mandalorian’ Season 3 Episode 1 is currently among the most anticipated projects among Star Wars fans.
Thankfully, to relieve the draught of Mando and Baby Yoda content, ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ arrived and so far, two of its episodes have spent most of their focus on Din Djarin and Grogu. Apart from the two characters, the episodes have also brought in a flurry of other Mandalorian characters. The show has essentially become ‘The Mandalorian’ 2.5. This is also a major reason why the plot of the third season can’t be predicted with much accuracy right now. You see, Boba Fett has yet to conclude.
Judging by all that has transpired so far, Mando and Grogu are going to reunite or at least meet each other again before ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ comes to an end. By the time the finale arrives, whatever the trajectories Mando and Grogu end up on, will lead their future storylines onto the next season of ‘The Mandalorian’. Let’s now try and delve into all that the third season might entail. Spoilers may be ahead!

‘The Mandalorian’ Season 3 Episode 1 Release Date
As of right now, there is no official confirmation regarding the release date of ‘The Mandalorian’ Season 3 Episode 1. We know that the third season is coming. We also know that the filming for the season started back in October 2021. This means that the third installment can be ready for a release right around the autumn or winter season in 2022. Taking into consideration the time it takes for the filming to wrap up as well as the CGI and special effects to finish, it’s a fair forecast to say that the third installment would not be out until late 2022.

Apart from ‘The Mandalorian’, there are a couple of other Star Wars shows on the 2022 roster as well. These are ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ and ‘Andor’. Amidst such a full roster, it’s hard to tell exactly when Mando would resume his bounty chronicles again. As soon as an official release date announcement for ‘The Mandalorian’ Season 3 Episode 1 is out, we’d be sure to keep you posted the fastest we can.
Who Will Return for the Third Season — Cast Details & Speculations
Out of all the characters expected to return for the third season, Din Djarin, aka The Mandalorian is the most obvious one, who will once again be portrayed by Pedro Pascal. Back in 2021, there were some rumors floating around on the internet regarding the creative conflicts between Pascal and the makers. There were also rumors of Pascal potentially leaving the show. However, no official word or announcement backed the rumors, leaving them to be just baseless buzz. The actor has already reprised his role in ‘The Book of Boba Fett’, which serves as the spin-off to ‘The Mandalorian’. Suffice it to say, Pascal is donning the Beskar armor once again and wielding his Darksaber.
Apart from the lead bounty hunter, we will also be seeing Grogu, popularly known as “Baby Yoda”. Meanwhile, another major character from the previous seasons that will be returning is Greef Karga. Carl Weathers confirmed his return back in October 2021 via Twitter. Along with Weathers’ Greef Karga, another major supporting character that was present in the show was Gina Carano’s Cara Dune. However, the actress has been fired from the show and will not be returning to the series again. Her removal from the cast came in light of her objectionable and offensive posts on Twitter. Other characters that we can expect to return in season 3 include Moff Gideon and Bo Katan.
Moff, Bo Katan, Boba, Fennec, Ahsoka, Skywalker & More Expected to Return
Giancarlo Esposito has confirmed in the past that his character will return and will be more menacing than ever. So we can definitely expect to see Gideon making a return and wreak some Empirical havoc in the story. As for Bo Katan, her return is kind of inevitable at this point. The character hasn’t been able to win Darksaber in a fair fight. The current wielder — Din Djarin — was reluctant and indifferent to the mythical weapon at first. However, from what we’ve seen of him in ‘The Book of Boba Fett’, it seems that he’s finally embracing his new weapon and looks forward to mastering it like a true Jedi. Who knows, he might even turn out to be force sensitive.
Boba Fett and Fennec Shand are also among the likeliest characters to return in season 3 of ‘The Mandalorian’. Temeura Morrison and Ming-Na Wen have been essentially a supporting cast for the show, and now the two have gotten to play leads in their own show, which now frequently guest stars Mando. Other characters we can expect to appear in the show are Ahsoka Tano and Luke Skywalker. The way the plotlines of both the ‘Mandalorian’ as well as the ‘Boba Fett’ show keep intersecting with Skywalker’s and Ahsoka’s, it’s not a stretch to suggest that these two characters will keep popping up every now and then in season 3 as well. Apart from these heavy hitters, Cobb Vanth is also a likely contender, as is Cad Bane, now that he’s appeared in the ‘Boba Fett’ series.
