    I suspect that Pascal wants out now and this gives him the out needed storywise. He’s been off and on set for a while as it was so they may just put him on the back burner, move Sachoff to the lead and finish season 4.

    1. Terry

      No need to write him out. Just find a voice actor that sounds like him and you’re good to go. From what I read , he was barely on set this season. Mostly voice over stuff. While I like Katie, I don’t think her character is strong enough to carry the series

      1. Din Dave

        I disagree. I think she had a great arc this season and honestly with season 3 being the weakest in terms of Din and Grogu, im more invested in her arc and rebuilding Mandalore.. I’m sure he’ll still be part of the story, but I’m OK with him not being THE mandalorian anymore

        1. Charlie

          Katee Sackoff did an amazing job this season. Lots of action, flying, great timing on humor and serious scenes. She’s not only the Queen of Mandalore…but also the Queen of SiFi. She can certainly do it all!

        2. M.W....

          Makes good sense, and I agree❗ If Jon Favreau stays “in charge” with help from Dave Filoni, no one should worry❗

          1. Gman

            Nope season 3 went off the boil, so not interested if they are not in it or just a bit part

    2. Well you’re wrong, season 4 has already been written

      1. Someone Somewhere

        The already written, a.k.a. before they changed it.

    3. Season 4 has been written and I’ll give you 2 guesses as to who the 2 stars of it are

      1. Terri

        Who?

        1. Andrew

          Luke and Leia?

    4. Ghost

      Pedro was simply filming tlou while mando was being filmed. Din having a helmet on allows him to pursue other projects. He wasn’t slowly leaving mando.

  2. Lie detector

    This site literally makes up wild notions and accusations in it articles, then uses those articles to reference new articles. Most of the articles are baseless, opinions they just come up with. Gonna start a podcast calling out these fake ass articles.

    1. Diane

      Absolutely will no longer watch. I loved Season 1 and 2. Season 3 was a flop except for a couple episodes. I love Pedro and Grogu I miss their adventures and meeting up with new characters. I don’t care about other mandos.

      1. Then not to worry season 4 has already been written and returning to the old format

      2. Erik

        That’s you tho, other star wars fans do care about mandalorians.

      3. Seamus

        Don’t worry, it is very clear that the author has a self-inflated sense of his own importance and has no earthly idea what he is talking about.

      4. BD

        Ditto

    2. Exactly, season 4 has already been written and it’s all gonna culminate in a Mandoverse movie, why write out the 2 biggest draws of the show before the movie?

    3. Exactly, season 4 has already been written, it’s all gonna culminate in a Mandoverse movie, why write out the 2 biggest stars of the show and risk a huge drop in ratings before the movie?

      1. Lord I hope not. Pedro makes the show. Need to see more of him. Hope he remembers that this show is one of the first that help make him a star..

    4. Tony

      Maybe it just means Din Djarin and Grogu return for season four and Bo-Khatan Kryze gets her own spin-off. I’d love to see that happen. Best of both worlds.

      1. Leif

        Why on Earth is he leaving such a great cushy job?

  3. Pointy

    I’ve read this from several sources. I believe it’s likely. As this is a highly successful series I can’t fathom why they’d allow the face (hidden) of the series and the most important character and storyline to fade away. I think it’s as good as cancelling the whole thing. I have already lost considerable interest as more than half of season 3 has nothing to do with Din Djarin and Grogu. This show wasn’t only for Star War franchise fanatics. It was for many of us who tuned out when the main characters of the original trilogy faded away a renewal of our interest as Grogu has the Yoda vibe an an insight to the backstory of the Jedi. Too bad! I was all in and now I’m all out again!

    1. No, not likely season 4 has already been written and it’s going to be like the first 2 seasons

      1. Pensky

        Copium. At best.

    2. Eric Honaker

      I wouldn’t put it past Disney to move on from him. They did it to Skywalker(not Rey Palpatine) and Skywalker is Star Wars!

  4. You guys all realize that Dave Filoni and Jon Faverue already have written season 4 and is all about Djarin and Grogu ( the Dins )

    1. Ali

      Right? If Pedro ever does decide he’s done with the show, they’ll just end it with if anything, they’d just do another character spin-off like they did with Book of Boba Fett. I have a feeling that they’re going to give Bo-Katan her own show. I’d love to see a show about Fennec!

  5. Ali

    This isn’t true. The creator of the show has even said he doesn’t know where these rumors started.

  6. Tense

    For starters, Disney is not going to get rid ofvtheir biggest cash cow, Grogu. And with Grogu, comes his dad, Din Djarin. Jon Favreau had season 4 written before season 3 even began, so I think it’s safe to say both will be back. Pedro can do voice over work anywhere, anytime. The voice is an integral part of the character. I think his new gig as an independent contractor will continue with his new life with Din Grogu.

    1. Betty Gray Smoot

      Exactly!!

  7. Bghs

    This season was to setup the mandalorians for the finale. Season four will go back to Mando and grogu. Then Ashoka, skeleton crew and I think one other along with Mandalorian will all feed into a movie that will be the finale. Annnnnnd ain’t none of these guys around anymore so I wouldn’t look for a happy ending.

  8. Trent Wolodko

    “Season three of The Mandalorian on Disney+ was easily one of the series’ best and brightest”

    Aaaaand, ya lost me.

    This season has been pretty much 100% Grade A ass.

    Dave, Jon, and especially Kathleen Kennedy should pump the brakes and go watch season 3 of “Picard” over on Paramount+ if they want to see how to treat a franchise and its fans right. I suspect Dave/Jon did the best they could with the obvious lift of what should have been season 3 elements used to prop up the even assier “Book of Boba Fett”.

    Just think how many jobs could have been saved at Disney if they hadn’t screwed the franchise up so badly.

    1. Jacob

      ” “Season three of The Mandalorian on Disney+ was easily one of the series’ best and brightest”

      Aaaaand, ya lost me.”

      I came here to say this as well. This season was easily the worst and the ratings show it. Between useless, padded out filler episodes, Bo Katana being made into a #girlboss and worst of all, Lizzo, this season tried it’s hardest to put it’s worst foot forward. I wonder how much of this season Jon Favreau actually was involved with. He’s better than this. I would not be surprised if KK clipped his wings and was sticking her grubby fingers into the show this season.

    2. Sky

      Agrees. Season 3 was literal trash. Anyone who champions it needs to get Disney’s Dick out of their mouth. It was aimless, and made season one and two completely irrelevant.

    3. Harley

      For the first time I didn’t stay up waiting for the new episodes to come out, or rush home from work to see it. After either the first or second episode I kind of got the idea where it was ho8ng. I wasn’t excited about it. Did I not enjoy the season though? I liked it I didn’t love it though.

  9. Scott

    This season was rewritten after Gina was fired. I think that is why we had so much inconsistency in this season. The season ended the way it did to put Mando back on his story arch. The Mando show, is the launching point for new characters, shows, and cannon.

  10. Marcus

    Of course I would want a bo katan series she is my favorite character of the man diverse by far

    1. Marcus

      Mandoverse

  11. Jason Hull

    Bo-Katan is a far more interesting and nuanced character than Din Djarin. I was really hoping he would sacrifice himself in the S3 finale. People think he’s the titular character but he’s not. “The Mandalorian” refers to Grogu, not Djarin.

  12. Sky

    That’s fun, you made your own little interpretation to justify garbage writing. Cute.

  13. Jennifer Hawk

    It’s not that surprising it was an off season. Have you seen the Clone Wars? Some of the episodes were yeeeck and not all seasons were interesting at all.

    1. Bruce

      Well, that sucks. I watched The Mandalorian for Mando not Bo-Katan. Great character and I’m a fan of Katee. I don’t agree “… it’s about Grogu.”, It’s a Quest, Father and Son tale in a dangerous galaxy. I only watched a few episodes this season, skipped around a few others and I intend to watch the rest. I’m not in a hurry tho’.

  14. LJ

    This season was easily the worst so far & coupling that with that 1st season of bull bird they already packaged to us as “The Book of Boba Fett” will probably just stop now, as it seems they are now just milikg this for all its worth to them in a commerical dollar value.

    1. Bigbotz

      What world do you live in?

  15. Rocio

    No, I will definitely not watch it if Grogu and Pedro are not the main characters. They are the only reason I watch these series.

  16. Dennis Watkins

    I would love to see an expanded storyline with bo as queen of Mandelor reclaiming her planet and her throne (although I think she already has) I would also like to see a little involvement from Boba fett.

  17. Terri

    Who?

  18. John doe

    Season 3 was the TV equivalent of playing the side quests in Skyrim because you already did the main quest

  19. Grogu

    NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

  20. Grabstone

    I guess KK will kindly but authoratively suggest to change the title to ‘Womandalarian’ and everything will be just perfectomando.

    1. Bruce

      I bet she would. To bad her contract is up soon and the deal is she wants to move to Marvel. I’m not sure KK can make it worse but I bet all effort will be taken.

  21. Grow Goo

    Fight bad guys. Fly to another planet. Fight scary monsters. And more bad guys. Babble about some ancient creed. Run out of plot points? Invoke The Force. Rinse and Repeat.

  22. Ron

    No!

  23. Occam

    I will not watch the Bo-Katan show. She’s a boring character

  24. Patti James

    It’s always great to have a strong woman led series as a role model for girls. However, I think Mando and Grogu should have stayed for about a year to assist in taming Mandalore.

  25. Buddy

    I love watching Mando and Grogu, the adventures and excitement. Keep them coming.

  26. This is just terrible!

  27. Amanda

    The Mandalorian Season 3 was an overwhelming disappointment from the writing to the unnecessary storylines. I watch this show for Mando and Grogu and I could tell Pedro was missing this last season. I may consider watching the Bo Karan show but not The Mandalorian starring Bo Katan. If this is the direction they’re going, I can finally save a little money by canceling my Disney streaming subscription.

  28. Wrenn

    I disagree, as this is a western. In a western, the sheriff is always more interesting than the mayor. The rebuilding of Mandalore is just not that interesting to serialize. If they follow the tropes , as they have for three seasons, this is the rest after a big win. I would expect a time jump at this point, the imperials to regroup, and then something happens to bring Din Djardin out.

  29. Caroline

    They’ll give us one season of Bo Katan then return to the Mandalorian. Just like they did with one season of The Book of Boba Fett. Cross over series. Sadly they did not do this with Cobb Vanth.

  30. Jose

    Season 4 will have the main characters back going out in the galaxy fighting the empire. As bounty hunters.
    Pedro will mostly do voice over work for the mandalorian character
    He said hes more invested into the last of us series but took a pay cut to continue season 4 of the mandalorian just because he’ll be doing voice over work to match the two individuals that will play his character.

  31. Mike

    I stopped watching when this bossy lady started taking over for no reason.

  32. Tam

    No I won’t watch unless it is focused on Mando and Grogu. I assumed they were at their own place to continue new adventures with Grogu as his apprentice.

  33. Tim

    He’s going back to bounty hunting empire remnants. Bro did you even watch.

    1. Quill

      People, stop it! BS like yours is why Lucas gave up and sold Lucas film.

  34. Frank

    Way too many ads on this page. Baby Yoda? Really? Sacrilege.

  35. I would have a problem with that narrative seeing that it was about Din and grogu. They are the reason for the love of The Mandalorian, I can see bringing them together a little but it wouldn’t be the same with taking a backseat to their own show. I’m just being real about it all.

  36. Jeremiah

    I only watch for Din and Grogu. Period.

  37. Someone Somewhere

    The already written, a.k.a. before they changed it.
