The Mandalorian’s season 2 finale showcased Din Djarin defeating Moff Gideon in combat, earning the Darksaber in the process. He’s now the blade's rightful wielder, something we saw didn’t sit well with Bo-Kayan Kryze (who hoped to use the ancient weapon as a means of reuniting Mandalore’s people).
We never got to find out the manner in which they parted ways, but a newly released still from Empire (via SFFGazette.com) shows Din and Grogu’s reunion with the warrior. It seems they’re allies for now, but will that last?
"What I love most about Season 3 is how much the world opens up in terms of Mandalore and Mandalorians," Pedro Pascal tells the magazine. "That means so many different facets of culture, politics, and rules and discoveries. Delicious doors are flying wide open."
Bo-Katan actress Kate Sackhoff adds, "[I was] texting Jon and Dave, ‘Are you serious?’ This is an epic season – it’s so big and so bold and so different. We know the family that she was born into; now what’s the family that she’s going to choose? What does that look like?"
This team-up promises to be awesome, and we can't wait to see how things go when they cross paths again. Will Bo-Katan accept Din as Mandalore's rightful leader or should we expect her to take aim at the Darksaber? For now, we're going to have to wait and see.
The journeys of the Mandalorian through the Star Wars Galaxy continue in season 3. Once a lone bounty hunter, Din Djarin has reunited with Grogu. Meanwhile, the New Republic struggles to lead the Galaxy away from its dark history. The Mandalorian will cross paths with old allies and make new enemies as he and Grogu continue their journey together.
