The Mandalorian has finally returned to Disney+, but fans of the show have revealed one thing viewers need to know before diving in to its third season. The acclaimed Star Wars spin-off follows the adventures of bounty hunter Din Djarin – otherwise known as Mando – and his little green, Yoda-like friend, Grogu.
Its first series takes place five years after the events of 1983’s Return of the Jedi and the fall of The Empire, and helps fill in the gap leading up to franchise’s sequel trilogy. Starring the Last of Us star Pedro Pascal as the titular hero, the show has proved a huge hit for Disney, with its latest season becoming one of the most hotly anticipated shows of the year.
The first episode of season three dropped on Wednesday (March 1), but some viewers may be confused given how its last season ended. The blockbuster finale of season two saw Grogu whisked away by none other than Luke Skywalker, who pledged to teach the youngling the ways of the Jedi and hone his skills with the Force.
