The Mandalorian season 3 finale aired yesterday and opened up new possibilities for the Star Wars series. While definitively closing one chapter, it paved the way for new adventures (TIME). The episode was packed with Easter eggs, some of which viewers might have missed (Collider). The Mandalorian season 3 also featured a significant cameo from Star Wars creator Dave Filoni, hidden during a sequence in the final episode, “Chapter 24: The Return” (CBR).
The finale saw a battle ensue during the return to Mandalore (Rotten Tomatoes). After the episode, viewers were treated to a post-credits scene, which has since been explained by Men’s Health. The scene’s choice offers potential directions for the Star Wars universe to explore in the future.
While some critics felt that the third season of The Mandalorian lost its way, they have hope for the future (Variety). The first two seasons were a model of narrative efficiency, with Din Djarin protecting Grogu from the Empire (The New York Times). The third season saw the team find their way back to Din Djarin and his relationship with Grogu. After the finale that saw the red troopers come for Grogu, fans are left wondering what will happen next (Esquire).
The third season was uneven, with a self-contained and feel-good finale (The Ringer). Fans are excited to see what comes next in the Star Wars universe after the events of the Mandalorian season 3 finale.
