The Mandalorian series has simultaneously acted as a vessel for expanded lore around the classic Star Wars character Boba Fett.Created by Jon Favreau, the Star Wars spin-off series (controversially) reintroduced Boba Fett following his presumed death in the Sarlaac pit in Return Of The Jedi.With his survival confirmed in season two, the bounty hunter was given his own spin-off in The Book Of Boba Fett which intertwined with events between the second and third seasons of The Mandalorian.Aside from their obvious similarities in armour sets, there’s less common ground than you might expect between the two characters.Technically, they’re not. Din Djarin aka The Mandalorian was adopted into Mandalorian culture – a creed which derives from the planet Mandalore.After his parents were killed in the Clone Wars, an orphaned Djarin was rescued by a tribe of Mandalorian warriors and raised as a “foundling” – despite not originating from Mandalore.

Dave Filoni and Rick Famuyiwa have spoken out about the future of Gina Carano's character, Cara Dune, on as the spinoff returns with season 3. In an interview with , 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. «Cara was a big part and continues as a character to be part of the world,» Famuyiwa said of the character, who was first introduced in season 1 and returned in season 2 before Carano was let go from the show. Filoni also added that «it's a big galaxy, and we have many characters in it — many characters are fighting for their screen time.

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.

finally returned with new episodes as season 3 kicked off with «Chapter 17» on Disney+. The series stars Pedro Pascal as the titular bounty hunter named Din Djarin, who has been tasked with caring for Grogu, a Force-sensitive being he has grown fond of over the first two seasons and now sees as a son-like figure.Although we're only one episode into the new season, it's been confirmed by creator Jon Favreau that season 4 is in the works as they continue to expand the world — and many adventures -- of the hit spinoff series.
