K.J. Yossman The first panels and guests for Star Wars Celebration London have been unveiled. The official fan event, which switches each year between the U.S. and an international location, is headed to London, U.K. From April 7-10, the Force is set to take over the ExCel exhibition center in London. Among the highlights are the Lucasfilm Studio Showcase on Friday, April 7, which promises the “current crop of live-action filmmakers” as well as special guests to discuss “Star Wars” projects including “The Mandalorian, “Andor” and more.

From the beginning, the main criticism on Lucasfilm’s “The Mandalorian,” a show about Mandalorian Bounty Hunter, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), and the little Baby Yoda creature he’s been tasked with protecting, Grogu, was that the series was very episodic. After coming into contact with Grogu and becoming his ward in a fascinating “Lone Wolf and Cub”-like dynamic, that initially felt fresh and like a strange “Star Wars” Western, “The Mandalorian” quickly settled into a familiar pattern.

Prehistoric Planet will be back for a second season. Apple TV+ has renewed the award-winning natural history series from executive producers Jon Favreau and Mike Gunton and BBC Studios Natural History Unit (Planet Earth). Narrated by David Attenborough, the five-episode second season will premiere globally in a five-day week-long event beginning May 22 on Apple TV+.

Executive producers Dave Filoni and Rick Famuyiwa have spoken out about the future of Gina Carano‘s character, Cara Dune, on The Mandalorian as the Star Wars spinoff returns with season 3. In an interview with Deadline, the two acknowledged that the character still very much exists in the larger universe but that the series is focused on two characters: Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu.

is back with season 3, executive producers Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni and Rick Famuyiwa are opening about the decisions made in episodes involving Grogu and how that will affect the incredibly Force-sensitive being moving forward. To quickly recap the events of episodes five through seven -- which many have dubbed season 2.5 -- Grogu started his Jedi training with Luke Skywalker when he received a gift from Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal). This ultimately distracted him from the training at hand, with Skywalker eventually making him choose between a future as a Jedi or life on the road with his former steward. In the end, Grogu chose the bounty hunter — a decision that goes against what both Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) thought was best for him — and the two reunited before setting off into the galaxy on their next mission.

The Mandalorian has finally returned to Disney+, but fans of the show have revealed one thing viewers need to know before diving in to its third season. The acclaimed Star Wars spin-off follows the adventures of bounty hunter Din Djarin – otherwise known as Mando – and his little green, Yoda-like friend, Grogu.

Pedro Pascal is looking cool on the red carpet!

prepares to kick off its third season, creator Jon Favreau has a bold and sweeping vision for the show's potential future and is promising some real excitement for the forthcoming new episodes.Favreau walked the red carpet at season 3 premiere on Tuesday, at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, and he spoke with ET's Ash Crossan about what fans can expect from the show's iconic characters in the new season.«Things certainly will culminate this season, because there's a lot of characters that we've set up and there are all lot of them that are coming together again,» Favreau teased, cautiously. «There are bigger things happening in the galaxy as well. We have the resurgent Empire and we have the Mandalorians, who are scattered, and there's lots of different factions that are all over the galaxy.»One thing fans saw in was Grogu (or «Baby Yoda» as fans have come to fondly call the character) leaving the tutelage of Luke Skywalker and choosing to return to Din Djarin — a.k.a.

Pedro Pascal might be a self-confessed “blabbermouth,” but even he knows to keep any “The Mandalorian”-related secrets to himself.

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer In the Season 2 finale of “The Mandalorian” — which first streamed on Disney+ on Dec. 18, 2020, over two years ago — Mando (Pedro Pascal) bid a moving farewell to Grogu, handing over his adorably wee ward to Grogu’s new Jedi master, Luke Skywalker (played by a digitally de-aged Mark Hamill). The wrenching final scene culminated in Mando removing his helmet — violating the core precept of Mandalorian doctrine — so Grogu could see his face for the first time. It felt like the definitive end of a two-season journey, one painstakingly crafted by executive producers Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni to reset the show and send it into a new storytelling galaxy. As the trailers for Season 3 of “The Mandalorian” have already made clear, however, the new season will begin on March 1 with Mando and Grogu back together. It’s almost as if the events of the Season 2 finale hadn’t happened.

The third season of “The Mandalorian” officially arrives on Disney+ this Wednesday, March 1. The third season will take place following the events of “The Book of Boba Fett,” in which “Mandalorian” lead Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) was last seen reuniting with Grogu in the miniseries. The two then left Tatooine, with Mando heading to the planet Mandalore to restore his honor and become a Mandalorian again. In a trailer released in January, Pascal’s Din Djarin and budding Jedi warrior Grogu are seen journeying across a galaxy far, far away, facing threats from Mandalore and the bustling urban planet Coruscant. Another teaser released in September showed Mando facing off against several armored warriors in their homeworld.

Meanwhile, the New Republic struggles to lead the galaxy away from its dark history.

As we are just days away from Season 3 debuting, and with news that Season 4 is already written, it would appear “The Mandalorian” is still chugging along and doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. But with modern TV, especially with uber-expensive series such as this live-action “Star Wars” tale, you would assume there’s an ending in sight.
