Now, a new post indicates that the immensely popular Star Wars show will not actually be ending after Season 3, but will simply continue under a new name after the storyline ramps up. The post indicates that a fourth season is likely coming — which corroborates what Moff Gideon actor Giancarlo Esposito has previously indicated — but noted that:
…there’s there’s an “end” planned…I’ve also heard it’ll just morph into a “new” show that sticks with the characters/time period, but under a new name.
For EXAMPLE (just hypothetical): imagine a story point where the show changes to “The Mandalore” or something instead of “The Mandalorian”
Things can obviously change, so perhaps that change will happen sooner, but from all I’ve heard in poking around, Season 3 being the “end” doesn’t sound quite right. Sounds like they’re going balls to the wall and upping the scale on Season 3, so who knows?
While all of these rumors remain unconfirmed, and we don’t know too much about The Mandalorian Season 3 — except that it begins filming this month at The Volume soundstage and it will interconnect with The Book of Boba Fett and Rosario Dawson’s Ahsoka — we can surmise that the Darksaber storyline will continue to play a key role in the show.
At the end of Season 2, Djarin won the black-bladed weapon in battle with Gideon, making him the de facto ruler of Mandalore. This, of course, angered Kryze, whose sole mission is to once again wield the saber in a bid to avenge her sister, Duchess Satine Kryze’s death at the hands of Darth Maul.
Some have speculated that Kryze will become a villain in Season 3, but this has not been confirmed, though Sackhoff has shared that fans aren’t “supposed to know” if the fan-favorite Star Wars: The Clone Wars character is trustworthy at this point in time.
