SPECULATION Mandalorian Season 3 Speculation Thread

Why do we have to wait so long for Season 3?

 

There will probably be a betrayal. Or a betrayal that the betrayer cannot go through with.

 

There are other candidates who might reasonably have the same objective.

 

We find out that the Armourer is actually Satine Kryze, because everyone now survives being impaled by lightsabers. She and Bo fight for the right to rule the Mandalorians, but tragically kill each other. Korkie Kryze then reveals himself and his heritage as the son of Satine and Obi-Wan and takes the mantle of the Mand'alor with Din as faithful friend.
Also someone will say "this is the way".

 

Oh, I have a bad feeling about this.







Is this an official trailer.

if so, I'm pleased to introduce an asteroids chasing scene, Bo Katan singing under the rain, Sabine Wren perhaps, the ruins of Mandalore, tons of Salacious Crumbs, Greef Karga becoming someone important with a protocol droid, Peli Motto always on the run and Babu Frik not yet in Kijimi (or perhaps already there).

One series a year, so every customer can safely to renew the annual subscription to D+.

 

So we have some details regarding Moff Gideon wearing armor that's been described as Mandolorian-ish... Wondering if since S3 is looking to be very Mandalore heavy, could it be that Gideon has repurposed the armor of a defeated Mandolorian as some sort of a taunt? It would fit his character and also serve useful if fighting against a similarly armored Din. It's also noted that his helmet will be something of a Mando/Maul combination with horns similar to Maul on a shiny black Boba Fett style helmet, and he will also have a jetpack.

 

The Seasons 1 and 2 were incredible fun! The inclusion of Din and Grogu in Boba Fett was suprising and made me happy in a way, as S3 was far away in that moment and even postponed till next year. That made me not caring about Boba Fett even more.

But here we are!
I don't think that Bo Katan will be this crazy GOT crazy queen the trailers are making us to believe.
Sure, there was the issue with dark saber at the end of Season 2, but through BOBF, Din has clearly walked away.
We have no idea on what terms, but my prediction is that we will see all Mandalorians to join forces against the Imperial Remnant and take over the Mandalore, with Bo growing up beyond the dark saber. One of the biggest contrasts between Din and Bo was Din's rudiculous cult doctrine in contrast to the actual laidback Mandalorians. This got played back a bit with the whole dark saber and Din playing it back: "I have my weird helmet issue, but you can take this useless saber, I don't care at all."

On that, I can set my two hopes right away:
- I hope that they don't pull another Game Of Thrones/Shakespearian classic, Children Of The Watch with Bo's Classics fight together, but Din and Bo will have to fight to the death afterwards, because of the stupid saber. I'd like them all to evolve over their stupid dogmas, helmets, darksaber and everything.
Bo already grew up from being a terrorist to fight for the good.
- I love Grogu! But with rumored Season 4, I hope we get some development with him, maybe some time jump, so he can talk or it develops the concept of Din and Grogu a little.
Yes, he is cute and adorable, played as a fun gag with him eating stuff, but unless they resolve the issue with Moff Gideon and go live happily ever after somewhere in the galaxy, I would like them to abandon this Saturday cartoon format of a wandering warrior and his cute neverchanging sidekick.
So unless there is a conclusion in short space of time of them going on some upcoming open ended adventure, give them some conclusion.

I really hope we will get to know more about Gideon's agenda. Is he part of something bigger or is he just a leftover Imperial turned warlord using set of limited resources?
Is his research with Dr. Pershing about him obtaining the power to control the force?
If the rumors are true, I have already liked Gideon's appearance of being basically a Darth Vader and his own master, with having the cloak but being helmetless... seeing another twisted Mandalorian design, like Maul's faction was, might be interesting.
But so far, helmets were always functional in Star Wars, even for Ben Solo who masked his identity at first, second to being Darth Vader wannabe.
If the rumors and bits from interviews with Giancarlo are true, I wonder what drives him to become or mimic Mandalorians.

So far, my prediction is that Season 3 will deal heavily with Mandalore being taken back by Mandalorians and the fight against Gideon's remnant and Season 4 will be a conclusion to Grogu and Din.
Second option is that they will pull off MCU with the Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew series to some extent and Gideon will be linked to Grand Admiral Thrawn and even bigger Imperial Remnant than we have saw. Thrawn will be the final baddie and if Ezra is not dead or not going crazy/dark side C'Baoth, they will join forces. I wonder how the Skeleton Crew series will feature in these stories - if only happening at the same era or crossovering into Ahsoka and Mandalorian.

I don't believe that Gideon or possibly Thrawn are linked to First Order/Final Order in any way, as those Imperials left after Jakku, leaving the galaxy outside of Unkwnon Regions behind and rebuilding.
My bets are on them to really be just what's left of the Empire forces in the post Endor galaxy.

I am not fan of fan service and big cameos, even tho I liked Fett, Luke and mostly, Bo Katan in Mando, but it would be fan to have Iden Version in it, even tho she is probably really low on the scale of considered characters. But would be cool to see some easter egg or the Marauder parked somewhere.

 

It will be interesting to return to this thread, and re-read your post once season 3 is released to see how everything panned out so far...

oooohh, THIS^^^ TRAILER... feels like STAR WARS... I can not wait for this... I'm ready for an adventure!!! HOLD ON KID.

 

Big question: Cara Dune?
Is she gonna be dead, or just "off on adventures"? Will they deal with it at all?

 

She came from somewhere, went through stuff, and landed on her feet. Her arc is over. They'll never thouch her again and there's no need to drag this up again.

 

Yikes! Sorry, I didn't see it discussed in previous threads. I'll just put my dead horse beatin' stick back in the cabinet.

So, ummm... how bout them Night Owls...?

 

There's nothing to deal with. She was just muscle. They threw in just enough back story to give her motivation to be an ally of Din's at time. But that's as deep as the character went.

Same here. Grogu survived order 66, over 25 years prior to this, and they reckon he's around fifty years old. And yet he's basically a toddler. Din, Bo, Karga, even Rey, Finn et al will be dead of old age before he gets past adolescence or reach maturity.

Actually it will. Effectively. Unless he appears in a film or show set a hundred years after Mandolorian.

 

Or he's falling back in time during a world between worlds accident and becomes Yoda

 

Is that why Yoda speaks backwards? 'Cause he fell back through the w-b-w?
