Welp, itโs official. Disney+ has locked in The Mandalorian season 3 release date via Twitter: March 1st of 2023.
The Mandalorian season 3 picks up immediately where the story left off in The Book of Boba Fett starring Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen, which was really The Mandalorian season 2.5.
For context, Din Djarin / the eponymous Mando (Pedro Pascal & Brendan Wayne) has since reunited with Grogu / The Child / Baby Yoda to reform the Clan of Two; but at the cost of the latterโs Jedi training under the legendary Luke Skywalker (de-aged Mark Hamill & Graham Hamilton).

Din Djarin has also been excommunicated from his tribe for removing his helmet, thereby breaking their sacred code. But that doesnโt necessarily mean heโll be left stranded without any community. Like a disgraced Hollywood star looking to rehabilitate their image, old Mando is going back to his roots to remind everyone heโs still bloody good at what he does.
โWe established in The Book of Boba Fett that there was an opportunity for the Mandalorian to be redeemed, because he had transgressed against the Creed by removing his helmet,โ said series creator Jon Favreau.
โAnd among his group of Mandalorians, that is something thatโs not permitted. Now, we know that there are other groups of Mandalorians where they have different sets of rules.โ

Favreau added: โIn The Clone Wars, we saw with Dave [Filoni] and also with the character that I voiced that the Mandalorians are very different there. And so these different groups are coming together and weโre going to figure outโฆ the Nexus point for all of those communities, of course, is their homeworld from which theyโre exiled, which is Mandalore.โ
Considering The Mandalorian season 3 trailer dropped back in September heavily features Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan Kryze โ whoโs intent on reclaiming her fallen homeworld โ as well as the unresolved matter of Din Djarin still being possession of the Darksaber โ which technically makes him the rightful ruler of Mandalore โ itโs safe to say we should expects sparks. Plenty of โem

โIf he is stepping into a leadership position, heโs reluctant to do so,โ revealed Pedro Pascal.
โI donโt think that thereโs anything more interesting than a character being forced into discovering what theyโre capable of, and who they are. That part has been really, really fun.โ
Pedro Pascal and Katee Sackhoff have been re-joined by Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon, Carl Weathers as Greef Kargas, Emily Swallow as The Armorer, Omid Abtahi as Dr Pershing, Amy Sedaris, while also welcoming the likes of Back To The Future star Christopher Lloyd and Tim Meadows (both in yet-to-be-disclosed roles).
Once again, The Mandalorian season 3 release date to mark out in your calendars is March 1st of 2023. To relive The Mandalorian season 1 and season 2 โ as well as season 2.5 (The Book of Boba Fett), or simply revisit the Star Wars universe in general, hit the link below.
