Is her forthcoming standalone series also going to serve as a vehicle to further support the Mandalorian's story?
He is able to retain the Darksaber and it's safe to say that he's going to learn how to use it over the course of the next season of "The Mandalorian" - the real question is who is going to teach him? Will it be Luke Skywalker when Djarin goes to visit Grogu? Or possibly Ahsoka Tano, the Togruta Jedi Knight from "The Clone Wars" and perfectly cast with Rosario Dawson in the role. Not sure if those are quite the best tactics.
Yes, the Mandalorian creed has just gone from increasing its size by 66% to cutting its workforce by a third. However, when the Armorer attempts to resolve the issue of rightful ownership, the fact that Djarin has in fact removed his helmet comes to light and he is banished from Glavis. Paz Vizsla takes this opportunity to attempt to claim the Darksaber for himself in combat and despite still not having perfected how to use it, Djarin is still able to defeat him. Still, it will undoubtedly sell more merchandise (Image credit: Disney/Lucasfilm) Going from a ST-70 assault ship to a Naboo N-1 starfighter. Under his direction, she makes a little chainmail outfit for Grogu a sort of "Star Wars" equivalent of Bilbo's Mithril shirt from "The Lord of The Rings." So clearly we're going to see that little green rascal again in Season 3. He also gives the Beskar spear that he took after defeating the Magistrate Morgan Elsbeth on Corvus (played by Diana Lee Inosanto) in " Chapter 13: The Jedi" to the Armorer so she can forge something useful from the precious metal rather than have a weapon exist that could be potentially used against the Mandalorians.

However, in the animated series "Rebels" Sabine Wren gave the Darksaber to Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff), who by virtue of holding the weapon became the new ruler of the Mandalorians.īut Bo-Katan obviously didn't accept it from Djarin in the Season 2 finale of "The Mandalorian." It's all terribly confusing. In old "Star Wars" canon - now renamed as "Legends" - it is meant to be passed on after defeating the previous owner and not simply gifted. During a period of collapse in the Galactic Republic's power, the Darksaber was stolen by members of the Mandalorian warrior clans. It's an ancient, black-bladed lightsaber that was once held by the Jedi Order. Like Bilbo's Mithril shirt from "The Lord of The Rings," Grogu might soon own a Beskar chainmail vest (Image credit: Disney/Lucasfilm)ĭjarin presents the Darksaber to the Armorer who shares a little of its complex history and significance to both the Jedi and the Mandalorian creed. Only the Armorer (Emily Swallow) and Paz Vizsla (played by Tait Fletcher and voiced by Jon Favreau) survive after the Nevarro Massacre that we learned of in " Chapter 8: Redemption." Upon delivering the decapitated evidence, Djarin makes his way to the underbelly of this spectacular interstellar structure, down Kolzoc Alley, by the heat vent towers, to find the last of his kind, still in hiding.

The lighting is perfect and both quickly and effectively establishes the mood of the scene and draws the viewer in. The set design feels fresh and demonstrates what can be accomplished when the show leaves Tatooine. Not only have we seen that he's clearly gone back to work after the events at the end of Season 2 of "The Mandalorian," but he's also shown us that he still wields the Darksaber (albeit not very well.)
