Disney+ releases new poster and featurette for The Mandalorian season 3

The adventures of Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal of The Last of Us) will soon return as Disney+ released a new poster and featurette for the third installment of The Mandalorian. The poster features The Mandalorian wielding the Darksaber on top of his spaceship, while the footage highlights the show as a global phenomenon.

After two seasons, The Mandalorian is the most popular Star Wars series on Disney+. The third season’s trailer registered 83.5 million views within its first 24 hours, the most ever for a Lucasfilm show, shattering the record previously held by Obi-Wan Kenobi with 58 million views. Even series creator Jon Favreau (Iron Man) admits that the show has taken on a life of its own, something he greatly appreciates.

Season 3 will pick up after The Mandalorian reunited with Grogu in The Book of Boba Fett. Now, The Mandalorian will travel across the galaxy to his home planet of Mandalore to reunite with old allies and seek forgiveness for removing his helmet. Characters set to reappear in season 3 include Peli Motto (The Lion King’s Amy Sedaris), Greef Karga (Rocky’s Carl Weathers), The Armorer (SEAL Team’s Emily Swallow), Moff Gideon (Better Call Saul’s Giancarlo Esposito), and Bo-Katan Kryze (Star Wars: The Clone Wars’s Katee Sackhoff)

Favreau returns as showrunner alongside Dave Filoni (The Clone Wars). The directorial lineup in season 3 features Lee Isaac Chung (Minari), Rick Famuyiwa (Dope), and Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World Dominion).

Lucasfilm may have made most of its big announcements on day 1 of Star Wars Celebration, but it saved a few for day 2. At the Ahsoka season 2 panel, series creator Dave Filoni and star Rosario Dawson confirmed that Hayden Christensen will return as Anakin Skywalker.

Christensen first played the adult Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones in 2002 and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith in 2005. He reprised his role for Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi miniseries in 2022 before taking on a larger part in the first season of Ahsoka. Anakin's Force ghost was last seen in the season 1 finale watching over Ahsoka (Dawson) after she was trapped in a distant galaxy.
