10 Ways The Mandalorian Season 3 Set Up Star Wars’ Next Movie

The Mandalorian and Grogu will mark Star Wars‘ return to the big screen in 2026, and The Mandalorian season 3 set up the movie in many ways. Despite its mixed reception from fans and critics, The Mandalorian season 3 brings much of the show’s arcs full circle and provides a sense of closure. This naturally makes us wonder what Din Djarin and Grogu’s next adventure will be to merit a theatrical film.

While the movie’s plot is pure speculation at this point, The Mandalorian season 3 radically altered the status quo moving forward. Characters gained new allies, power shifted between factions, and some plotlines were left open-ended. 10 developments in The Mandalorian season 3 have the most potential to influence the story of The Mandalorian and Grogu and the future of Star Wars movies and TV shows.

Din Djarin Now Works For The New Republic

Unofficially but effectively

Din Djarin started by taking a job for the Imperial Remnant in The Mandalorian‘s pilot episode, so it’s fitting that he ends season 3 working for the New Republic. It’s not exactly official, as Captain Carson Teva noted that it’s against regulation, but Din Djarin walked away knowing they had come to an agreement. He and Grogu can now aid the New Republic in hunting down Imperials on a case-by-case basis.

This arrangement opens countless possibilities for what kinds of threats Din Djarin and Grogu will encounter on their travels. Perhaps one of their New Republic missions will go horribly wrong, or they’ll discover a different enemy while searching for Imperials. They could even come across Grand Admiral Thrawn and his allies, though that may be saved for Ahsoka season 2 or Dave Filoni’s untitled Star Wars movie.

Din Djarin Has Now Officially Adopted Grogu As His Apprentice

He can now train Grogu as a true Mandalorian

Another way The Mandalorian season 3 brought Din Djarin and Grogu’s relationship full circle was by having them truly embrace each other as father and son. Grogu is now “Din Grogu” and a Mandalorian apprentice, with Din Djarin training him as his own teacher did. Even though this is akin to what they had before, it now has a new purpose and possibilities.

The plot of the next Star Wars movie could be a special quest, serving as Grogu’s rite of passage and mirroring Din Djarin’s upbringing.

Din Djarin’s mission in the first two seasons was to protect Grogu and return him to the Jedi. Now that Grogu has matured and unlocked more of his Jedi abilities, Din Djarin can specifically focus on challenging Grogu to become a true Mandalorian. The plot of the next Star Wars movie could be a special quest, serving as Grogu’s rite of passage and mirroring Din Djarin’s upbringing.

The Mandalorian Season 3 Introduced Another New Republic Agent At Adelphi Base

Zeb Orrelios is set to return in the movie

One of the few Star Wars Rebels characters not featured as prominently in the Mandoverse is Zeb Orrelios, who made a brief cameo in The Mandalorian season 3, episode 5 “Chapter 21: The Pirate.” Zeb was a member of the Ghost crew and fought alongside rebels like Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, and Hera Syndulla to resist the Galactic Empire. The Mandalorian season 3 confirmed that he still serves the New Republic by training recruits at Adelphi Outpost.

Exclusive footage from The Mandalorian and Grogu assured fans that Zeb will appear in the movie. It’s unclear how big a role he’ll have, but he would be a fantastic character for Din Djarin and Grogu to team up with on a mission. Zeb’s found family consisted of two Jedi and a Mandalorian, meaning all three would have much to discuss and bond over while fighting Imperials.

The Imperial Shadow Council Is Still Plotting Against The New Republic

Any of them could serve as the movie’s villain

Moff Gideon convening the Shadow Council in The Mandalorian season 3, episode 7

Moff Gideon was finally defeated in The Mandalorian season 3, but not before revealing the existence of an Imperial Shadow Council to the audience. The Council’s leaders appear to be Admiral Palleon, who served Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Commandant Brendol Hux, father of General Armitage Hux from the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Their existence is the perfect bridge between the Galactic Empire and the First Order.

8 Things Star Wars Has Revealed About The Mandalorian & Grogu Movie

While Star Wars has kept details about The Mandalorian and Grogu tightly under wraps, there are still 8 key things we know about the upcoming movie.

Any one of these dastardly villains would be an excellent antagonist for The Mandalorian and Grogu. However, some reports suggest that Jonny Coyne’s “Imperial Warlord” character could be the main villain, and he may have connections to the pirates we’ve already seen in The Mandalorian. This approach may be best, as Palleon should be saved for Thrawn and Hux will need to remain in the shadows for the First Order to rise.

We Know Which Jedi Master Saved Grogu (But Not What Happened To Him)

Exploring the fate of Jedi Master Kelleran Beq

After Grogu was revealed to be a Jedi Temple survivor, fans began speculating which Jedi Master saved his life during Order 66. The answer finally came in The Mandalorian season 3, episode 4 “Chapter 20: The Foundling,” but nobody could have guessed it would be Jedi Master Kelleran Beq. Played by Ahmed Best, who portrayed Jar Jar Binks in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Master Beq left a strong impression with little screen time.

Jedi Master Kelleran Beq first appeared in the children’s game show Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge.

As satisfying as it was to get this answer, it also raised more questions about Grogu’s journey after Master Beq saved him. There’s a nearly 30-year gap between Order 66 and The Mandalorian episode 1, so what happened to Master Beq, and how did it affect Grogu? If Din Djarin is training Grogu for his future as a Mandalorian, then perhaps their movie will be about uncovering the secrets of Grogu’s past.

Mandalore Has Been Reclaimed By Bo-Katan And Her Followers

Will Bo-Katan successfully lead Mandalore this time?

The surviving Mandalorians were scattered and in hiding at the start of The Mandalorian, their population decimated and their homeworld in ruins. Thanks to Din Djarin’s determination and Bo-Katan’s leadership, the Mandalorians retook their homeworld and defeated the man responsible for its devastation. Mandalore is now set to rebuild and become a significant player in galactic politics.

Din Djarin and Grogu will surely return to Mandalore so the audience can see how the world has flourished since the end of season 3. Its fate could be central to the plot of The Mandalorian and Grogu, with the Imperial Shadow Council seeking retribution to stop Mandalore from becoming a greater threat. Din Djarin may seek help from Bo-Katan or the other Mandalorians, as he has done many times before.

The Mythosaur Is Real (And Living In The Waters Of Mandalore)

A legendary creature that must return at some point

One surprising payoff in The Mandalorian season 3 was the Mythosaur, which was first hinted at all the way back in The Mandalorian episode 1. Legend says that ancient Mandalorians rode the Mythosaur, possibly foreshadowing that Din Djarin would ride one someday. Now that one is confirmed to be in the waters beneath Mandalore, it seems too good an opportunity to pass up.

Grogu has also proven himself by using the Force to connect with large creatures, including a rancor in the season finale of The Book of Boba Fett. If the Imperial Shadow Council, a band of pirates, or another enemy attacks Mandalore, a giant Mythosaur would be invaluable. It could also be another rite of passage for Grogu, combining his Jedi talents with a feat worthy of a Mandalorian.

The New Republic Government Is Full Of Imperial Spies

Elia Kane is a loose end the New Republic will have to face

Despite convincing the New Republic government that she had changed, Elia Kane worked for Moff Gideon until his death. She befriended Dr. Pershing and urged him to continue his research, only to manipulate him and wipe his mind of anything that could be used against the Empire. With Gideon gone, she may have to change tactics, making her a target for Din Djarin and Grogu.

She was never directly shown working with anyone else on Coruscant, but there must be more Imperial agents within the government. The New Republic has admitted to allowing former Imperials to serve at every level of government, so there’s no telling how many are still loyal to the Empire. It would be interesting to see what tension arises if Din Djarin is forced to target New Republic officials.

2

Nevarro Is Now One Of The Most Prosperous Trading Outposts In The Galaxy

The final shot of The Mandalorian season 3

Nevarro was a grimy and unfavorable place in The Mandalorian episode 1, a place for shady dealings and a refuge for ex-Imperials. Thanks to Greek Karga’s efforts, Nevarro is now a profitable trading outpost and a thriving community, which Din Djarin and Grogu chose to settle on between missions. This means we’ll probably see it again in The Mandalorian and Grogu, at least in Act 1.

Of course, Nevarro’s wealth and prosperity also make it a target for pirates, as seen in The Mandalorian season 3. The same pirates who attacked before could seek revenge in The Mandalorian and Grogu, allowing the film to kick off with action that raises the stakes. If the filmmakers don’t go this route, Nevarro could be where Din Djarin and Grogu meet a contact that sends them on their quest.

Mandalorians Are More Accepting Of Tribes With Different Customs

A whole new Mandalorian society is emerging

Ever since Mandalore’s first canon appearance in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the various Mandalorian clans have either been at war or at odds with each other. The New Mandalorians wanted peace while the Death Watch craved war, and even when Death Watch took control of the planet, they were divided on which leader to follow. Even with so few Mandalorians left after the purge, the remaining factions couldn’t put their differences aside.

Things have changed following The Mandalorian season 3, with two traditionally opposed factions working together to reclaim their planet. If two groups with such radically different beliefs can find common ground, there’s no telling what kind of society they will build, or how Din Djarin and Grogu will define themselves as Mandalorians. The Mandalorian season 3 has laid the foundation, so now The Mandalorian and Grogu must build on it when Star Wars returns to theaters.
