Din Djarin could have an extra-helpful Grogu at his facet in The Mandalorian Season 3 — and he’ll want all the assistance he can get if Bo-Katan comes gunning to reclaim the Darksaber as her personal!
Within the preview video above, TVLine speaks with Mandalorian author/exec producer Jon Favreau and EP Dave Filoni about Grogu’s new position in Season 3, on condition that for the live-action Star Wars sequence’ first two seasons, the li’l one was the mission.
“Properly, he leveled up a bit,” Favreau says, alluding to what we noticed in Episodes 6 and seven of the spinoff The E-book of Boba Fett. (Learn our useful refresher.) “Grogu has gotten to check with the best Jedi round [and] I believe that point spent with Luke Skywalker goes to return in very useful.”
As a substitute of being merely cute cargo, Child Yoda is now “anyone that may really be useful,” says Favreau.
Later, the subject turns to Bo-Katan Kryze, who when final we tuned into The Mandalorian, was mighty miffed about Din unwittingly stepping on her probability to reclaim the highly effective Darksaber.
“There’s a query that I’ve: How did she lose it? As a result of the final we noticed, in animation, she had it,” Sackhoff reminds.
“She believes that she wants the Darksaber to rule, and he or she believes that she is the best individual to steer her folks again collectively once more,” Sackhoff continues. And but regardless of that resolve, “One thing has modified in her” when Season 3 opens, Sackhoff reveals. “I might say that she’s feeling just a little sorry for herself.”
Will Season 3, partially, construct to a seemingly inevitable duel-to-the-death between Bo and Din? You may get Sackhoff’s response on the 4-minute mark.
Elsewhere within the video above, Filoni positive appears like he desires to inform about about any beforehand animated character who, like Bo and Ahsoka Tano (performed by Rosario Dawson), will come to live-action life in Mando Season 3. Additionally, Sackhoff solutions a TVLine reader query with a bittersweet callback to her character’s animated days.
