Heading into The Mandalorian's season 3 finale, it's fair to say we all had some pretty strong opinions about where the show was taking us.
For the most part, "The Return" was light on shocking twists and actually felt more like a series finale that set the stage for The Mandalorian to get a fresh start when that fourth batch of episodes hit Disney+ sometime in the next couple of years.
However, the most popular fan theory revolved around The Armorer. Based on her quick escape from Mandalore and the fact Moff Gideon was decked out in a near-identical helmet, the prevailing theory online was that she must be in cahoots with the Imperial and was, in fact, biding her time to betray Din Djarin and Bo-Katan Kryze. After all, uniting these clans and bringing them to Mandalore to be destroyed by Gideon seemed a suitably dastardly plot for such an enigmatic character!
In reality, The Armorer proved herself a hero, fighting alongside Bo-Katan against the Empire before allowing Din to officially adopt Grogu. A villain she is not, and actress Emily Swallow has now shared her thoughts on the theory (via SFFGazette.com)
As you can see below in a recent response to a fan on Twitter, she said: "I'm not mad. Just disappointed."
We're sure these comments are (mostly) being made in jest, but we could understand if Swallow is a little hurt after we all came to the conclusion that The Armorer was about to betray her people and be outed as one of The Mandalorian's most despicable villains!
This character's story is bound to continue in season 4 and, now she's in charge of Mandalore's giant forge, we're sure there will be lots more warriors decked out in Beskar before too long thanks to her.
