The Mandalorian wrapped its third season in April of 2023. The Season 3 finale saw Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) officially adopting Grogu (now Din Grogu) so the latter could be his apprentice. This occurs after he and Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) seemingly defeat Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito). Bo-Katan remains on Mandalore as its new ruler. At the same time, Din and Grogu retreat to a cabin on the outskirts of Nevarro, which was previously offered to the nomadic Mandalorian by High Magistrate Greef Karga (Carl Weathers).

Another intriguing detail from today’s news was concealed at the bottom of the StarWars.com press release. Filoni is currently developing season 2 of Ahsoka, which aired last fall. It might be only a matter of time before we get the official greenlight.
