Though The E-book of Boba Fett ended furthering Din Djarin’s story in some huge methods final yr, it’s been properly over two years since The Mandalorian Season 2 concluded. Happily, Disney+ subscribers are actually solely per week away from The Mandalorian Season 3 premiering, and followers might want to brush up on the important thing issues to recollect from this nook of the Star Wars universe earlier than the subsequent chapter unfolds. Nevertheless, it seems showrunner Jon Favreau has already written all of The Mandalorian Season 4, and he’s tied it to 2 different upcoming Star Wars TV exhibits.
Jon Favreau revealed to CinemaBlend in Might 2022 at Star Wars Celebration that he’d began writing The Mandalorian Season 4, and virtually a yr later, the scripting work is now accomplished. Favreau shared this replace with BFM TV (by way of Twitter consumer @lenicolasbehar), saying:
Season 4, yeah I’ve written it already… We have now to know the place we’re going to inform a completely fashioned story. So we had mapped it out, Dave [Filoni] and I, and slowly you begin to write every episode. So I used to be writing it throughout post-production. As a result of all of it has to really feel like a continuation and one full story.
It’s price noting that Disney and Lucasfilm haven’t formally greenlit The Mandalorian Season 4, however given the present’s reputation and all of the work that Jon Favreau has already poured into scripting this subsequent batch of episodes, I’m inclined to assume these firms will transfer ahead with one other season. Clearly no Season 4 plot particulars have been disclosed since we don’t even know what’s in retailer for Season 3 past what’s been teased within the trailers. That being stated, Jon Favreau added that the rationale he wrote Season 4 so early is so it might probably correctly match into the narrative net of Star Wars tales that features the Rosario Dawson-led Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew, which stars Jude Regulation. As Favreau defined:
After which [Dave’s] doing Ahsoka, which I’m producing with him, however he’s the author and showrunner on that. And so to grasp what’s taking place on different exhibits and even Skeleton Crew, [they] all happen throughout the identical Star Wars time interval. So there’s much more issues that we’ve received to bear in mind and stuff that we’ve constructed as much as from earlier seasons of The Mandalorian as properly.
The Mandalorian Season 1 begins 5 years after the occasions of Return of the Jedi, when the New Republic remains to be determining find out how to correctly govern the galaxy and remnants of the Empire are nonetheless energetic to hold on Emperor Palatine’s legacy. The Mandalorian Season 2 episode “Chapter 13: The Jedi” launched Rosario Dawson because the older Ahsoka Tano, and following her look in The E-book of Boba Fett’s “Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger,” she’s now set to steer her personal sequence. Ahsoka’s forged contains Natasha Liu Bordizzo and Eman Esfandi respectively taking part in the live-action variations of Sabine Wren and Ezra Bridger from Star Wars Rebels, in addition to Hayden Christensen reprising Anakin Skywalker following his return to the position in Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Whereas The Mandalorian hasn’t laid any groundwork for Skeleton Crew, we do know the present will observe a bunch of children who get misplaced in a galaxy far, distant and should work collectively to search out their method house. Each it and Ahsoka are additionally anticipated to premiere in 2023, and whereas Jon Favreau has already written all of The Mandalorian Season 4, it might be just a few years earlier than the finished product reaches our screens. As such, occasions that occur in Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew might find yourself influencing the saga of Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin and Grogu, maybe equally to what The E-book of Boba Fett did round this time final yr.
We’ll move alongside extra concrete info regarding The Mandalorian Season 4 as soon as it is available in, however for now, Season 3 premieres March 1 on Disney+. That’s additionally the place you possibly can simply stream the Star Wars films so as should you’re caught up on the franchise’s different unique exhibits accessible on the platform.
