The Mandalorian Season 3 is approaching fast and one of the story arcs that fans are looking forward to seeing is how the relationship between Din Djarin and Bo-Katan Kryze plays out. The last time we saw them in the Season 2 finale of The Mandalorian, there was definitely tension between them, especially because Din Djarin acquired what she wanted… the Darksaber.
Pedro Pascal recently talked about his character and the situation he found himself in, which he isn’t thrilled with. He actually wants to get rid of the weapon he earned, but that’s something that’s not as easy as it sounds. Pascal talked about Mando’s relationship with Bo-Katan telling Digital Spy:
“I mean there wasn’t really a fallout necessarily — sort of kind of an accident. Din picked it up and is desperate to give it back to her. But it has to be earned in a very specific way. I think what I’m most excited about as far as Season 3 is concerned, is what we get to see Katee [Sackhoff] do.”
Katee Sackhoff expressed her excitement about the fact that she gets to continue the character’s legacy as she also voiced the character in Star Wars: Rebels. She said:
“I’ve lived in this woman’s skin for a long time now. One of the things that Jon [Favreau] and I focus on is where she is in the moment, what peppers her experience. Jon and Rick [Famuyiwa], every single day, defer to me, which is a crazy experience, to have these masters asking me what I feel.” As far as making the jump to live-action, Sackhoff expressed how her collaborators respect “the craft, and the years that I have put in. I really do know her – her pain is my pain. When she experiences something, I really feel it.”
In Season 3 of the series, “The journeys of the Mandalorian through the Star Wars galaxy continue. Once a lone bounty hunter, Din Djarin has reunited with Grogu. Meanwhile, the New Republic struggles to lead the galaxy away from its dark history. The Mandalorian will cross paths with old allies and make new enemies as he and Grogu continue their journey together.”
The series also stars Carl Weathers, Amy Sedaris, Emily Swallow and Giancarlo Esposito. The directors of the eight-episode Season 3 include Rick Famuyiwa, Rachel Morrison, Lee Isaac Chung, Carl Weathers, Peter Ramsey and Bryce Dallas Howard.
The series comes from Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Rick Famuyiwa, Rachel Morrison, Lee Isaac Chung, Carl Weathers, Peter Ramsey and Bryce Dallas Howard. It will premiere on Disney+ on March 1st!
