Add as a preferred source on Google

The 2023 Star Wars celebration event may be over, but the party is still on for Disney’s premier Star Wars show. After a two-year hiatus that seemed to last forever, The Mandalorian has triumphantly returned to the small screen. The groundbreaking show proved the Star Wars franchise can work just as well, if not better, on the small screen than in movie theatres, and helped pave the way for successful follow-up series like The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the superb Andor.

Because it has been a while, audiences may have forgotten certain specific details about the show or just where and when to watch it. Digital Trends is here with a handy guide to The Mandalorian season 3, including when you can watch episode 7, plus plot details, trailers, and much more.

Episode 7 is titled Chapter 23. At last week’s Star Wars Celebration 2023 event in London, the opening minutes of this episode were screened to attendees so we know a little bit about what’s going to happen. The major revelation is that Moff Gideon returns to the show in this episode. He is shown as a hologram talking to Elia Kane, Gilad Pellaeon, and Brendol Hux about the troublesome Mandalorians, particularly Din and Bo-Katan. In addition, something called “Operation Necromancer” is referenced, a subplot that is likely to pay off either in the finale or down the road in season 4.

Here’s the official plot synopsis for season 3 of The Mandalorian: “The journeys of the Mandalorian through the Star Wars galaxy continue. Once a lone bounty hunter, Din Djarin has reunited with Grogu. Meanwhile, the New Republic struggles to lead the galaxy away from its dark history. The Mandalorian will cross paths with old allies and make new enemies as he and Grogu continue their journey together.”

There are eight episodes in The Mandalorian season 3. This matches the episode count in each of seasons 1 and 2. After this episode, there is only one episode left in season three of The Mandalorian.

Do I need to watch The Book of Boba Fett before The Mandalorian season 3?

Yes! Especially episodes 5, 6, and 7, which feature Din Djarin and develop his relationship with Grogu. Without watching those episodes, you might be confused at the start of The Mandalorian season 3 as things are different for Grogu and company since season 2 ended.

Dark Matter season 2’s most interesting question may be what comes after Amanda and Daniela’s choices
Amanda and Daniela made their choices. Season 2 is exploring what happens when those choices aren't enough.
Clothing, Coat, Jacket

For all its quantum mechanics and competing realities, Dark Matter has always been less interested in the choices people make than in what happens once they have to live with them.

Jason Dessen (Joel Edgerton) remains the character around whom most of those choices orbit. Season 1 began when an alternate version of the Chicago physicist, Jason2, abducted him and crossed into his world to take over the life he believed he should have had. That life included Daniela (Jennifer Connelly), Jason's wife and the mother of their teenage son, Charlie. The abduction also brought Jason into the life of Amanda (Alice Braga), a psychiatrist who worked on the Box project in Jason2's reality and had been romantically involved with him.
