Pedro Pascal’s television dominance is about to reach its peak when season three of The Mandalorian debuts on Disney Plus at the beginning of March, overlapping with his other hit series, The Last of Us.
Even though we’re yet to see Din Djarin and Grogu’s latest adventure, series creator Jon Favreau has confirmed that he has already finished writing the show’s fourth season, explaining to BFMTV Inside that in order for the show’s overall story to be cohesive, they need to know where it is going well in advance:
Favreau dives into detail around how he and Ahsoka writer and showrunner Dave Filoni have been working to ensure there’s a sense of cohesion across all of the different Star Wars television projects that are all happening around the same time in the universe’s continuity:
“We mapped it out – Dave and I. Slowly you just write each episode. So I was writing it during post-production [of season three], because all of it needs to feel like a continuation and one full story, and he’s [Dave Filoni] doing ‘Ahsoka’, which I’m producing with him, but he’s the writer and showrunner on that. So to understand what’s happening on other shows, even ‘Skeleton Crew’, all take place in the same Star Wars time period so there’s a lot more we need to keep in mind, and stuff we’ve built up to from previous seasons of ‘The Mandalorian’ as well.”
It’s good to know that the future of The Mandalorian is in safe hands, then, and it appears we won’t ever be going down the route of retconning, rewriting, and general purpose script butchering tack that the Star Wars sequel trilogy went down.
There’s still ample time to rewatch the first two seasons of The Mandalorian, seeing as it’s been a hot minute since the series last graced our screens. Season three debuts on Disney Plus on March 1, 2023. To tide you over, here’s a season three clip of Grogu doing his usual cute Grogu things.
