I am going to Mandalore.
There's nothing left.
Go home.
And me?
A clan
of two
but you
have removed your helmet.
And you are a mandalorian.
No more
your cult.
Fractured our people.
Where were you then?
Did you think your dad
was the only Mandalorian?
season for you. I've written it already.
We have to know where we're going to tell a fully formed story.
So we had mapped it out, Dave and I.
And then. And slowly you just write each episode.
So I was writing it during post-production and that because all of it
has to feel like a continuation and one one full story,
and then he's doing Ahsoka, which I'm producing with him,
but he's the, he's the writer showrunner on that.
And so to understand what's happening on other shows or even Skeleton
Crew all take place in the same Star Wars time period.
So there's a lot more things that we have to do
to keep in mind and stuff that we've built up
to from previous seasons of The Mandalorian as well.
Welcome back, everyone.
It's Charlie.
This is the way they released New Mandalorian Season three trailer footage.
We'll break it down.
We also have a teaser for The Mandalorian Season four.
Like the clip I put at the beginning
that is literally Jon Favreau talking about the Mandalorian season four all.
Explain what's going on with that, because we haven't even gotten Season
three yet and they're talking about season four.
So I'll explain what kind of plot they're going to be covering by the time
we get to season four.
Rosario Dawson also revealed a bunch of details
about the Ahsoka episodes coming later this year.
I'll explain that too, if you're brand new to the channel.
I'll be doing videos for all the episodes.
Be sure to subscribe to get everything.
But the new footage is a bo-katan trying to discourage
Mando from going back to the planet Mandalore
basically telling him the exact opposite of what the armor is telling him
he has to do in order to regain his honor and become a true mandalorian again.
The whole thing here is that Bo-Katan basically believes the exact opposite
of what the armor believes in, and they're like diametric opposite.
Sitting on Mando shoulders his best armor shoulders telling him what to do with him
having to choose a path.
He's basically being given similar choices to the same vibe of the choices
is what Grogu who was given by Luke Skywalker like which path are you
choosing the best armor or Yoda's light saber, The Path of the Jedi
or the path of the Mandalorians grow to essentially chose the mando.
Like going back to the mando over choosing Luke Skywalker in the Jedi
training, he'll continue to train in the force.
Jon Favreau was pretty clear about that.
Like, Oh no, he's gotten way more powerful
since the end of the book of Boba Fett, and there has been a time jump
since the end of Book of Boba Fett when Mando Season three picks up.
The way he described that,
he said there's been enough time for Grogu to become even more powerful.
So all the force abilities that you saw Grogu
using at the end of the book of Boba Fett, he'll be way more powerful than that,
but he's still ramping up.
This is still very early days for Grogu,
who obviously he's going to become much, much more powerful in his lifetime.
But just because he's not with Luke Skywalker doing traditional
Jedi training doesn't mean that he's not training in the force.
In the trailers, when Bo-Katan says there's nothing left there for you,
there is no more home.
She's talking about the slag that the Empire turned the planet Mandalore into.
You see some of the wreckage of their Dome city or one of their dome cities.
That's meant to be the same one that we saw during the Clone Wars.
The reason they had a dome city is because they'd already bombed the hell
out of their planet in previous wars from thousands and thousands of years ago.
The dome was because the planet itself wasn't that habitable to begin with.
But what wound up happening
is that during the events of the original trilogy,
the Empire basically bombed the hell out of it.
They call that the Great Purge because Bo-Katan,
who was leading them at that point because she had the Darksaber,
they covered that during the events of the rebel series.
She united the remaining Mandalorian factions at the end of the Rebel series,
and it seemed like a big rallying cry for them.
Like, Yeah, they're going to be awesome now.
But during the events of the original trilogy,
the Emperor wanted them to capitulate like he wanted the Mandalorians to serve him,
and they wouldn't do that. Bo-Katan turned him down.
So in retaliation for that,
he had Moff Gideon, who was working with the Imperial Security Bureau.
We saw their group during the Andor series.
Moff Gideon came from the Imperial Security Bureau before he became a mob.
He had them orchestrate the great Purge of Mandalore,
where he basically bombed the entire planet, trying to kill all of them.
While that was happening, it sounds like Moff Gideon
pilfered the planet for everything that he could
because the Emperor also wanted their beskar.
So essentially the bird's grand plan for the Mandalorians was to take their beskar
their troops, their weapons, so he could make stronger troopers.
Which moff Gideon Great Admiral Thrawn are now trying to complete in present day.
They cover that during the first couple of seasons.
The reason why Beskar was so rare is because the Empire had stolen
most of their beskar from the planet.
But it also gets into the whole idea of the grogu
cloning storyline during the first couple of seasons in the idea that the Emperor
wanted to create stronger troopers using cloning techniques in the force.
So you imagine them combining all those ideas with the best armor
and the mandalorians weapons they're fighting techniques
they would basically made invincible clone troopers that are force sensitive.
I think that was the idea with the dark troopers during season two.
The whole idea that the empire Moff Gideon great.
Admiral Thrawn were slowly trying to create more
and more powerful troopers that were easier for them to control.
And ultimately it was easier for them to control either
robots, cyborgs or clones than it is for regular troopers.
They also confirmed that they're going to answer definitively
who saved Grogu Who at the Jedi Temple during Order 66.
And that's what all these new Order 66 flashbacks are for him.
The most likely candidate so far
that we've seen are the Jedi librarians, who we've already seen in flashbacks.
Probably not Mace Windu, because the Star Wars people
have actually joked about this way too much recently, losing his arm, falling
from that high of a height, and then dragging his way to the Jedi
temple to continue trying to save all these other Jedi.
And again, Skywalker is a maybe like saving Grogu himself, basically
allowing him to escape,
not purposely saving him, but just allowing him to get away.
Yoda was on Kashyyk during Order 66, so it wasn't him.
Yaddle was killed by Count Dooku during the events of Attack of the Clones.
So it wasn't her.
And now one of my leading theory is after the events
of the Obi-Wan Kenobi episodes is that it could have been Quinlan Vos.
He was namedrop during the Obi-Wan Kenobi series is a Jedi
who had escaped Order 66.
And ever since then, like he'd been about ten years
since Revenge of the Sith, when Obi-Wan Kenobi picks up.
That whole time, he'd been helping other force
sensitive people in the Underground Space Railroad.
Basically avoid capture by Darth Vader, the Emperor in the inquisitors.
And that's basically what happened with Grogu, who,
like he basically went into hiding in the outer
rim using that same type of underground railroad that the Jedi were using.
But it seems like one of the main goals of season three is to have Mando
regain his honor, like he'll go back to the planet Mandalore
and fulfill the requirements of the armor, but then slowly choose his own path
because Bo-Katan is also yelling in his ear
about what he needs to be doing with the Darksaber
rallying their people so that they can fight the remnants of the Empire.
Grand Admiral Thrawn Moff Gideon retake the planet.
So there's a bunch of stuff on his to do list during season three
talking about the events of season four.
So here's where we get to the season four plot.
Mando will probably have already regained his honor.
Like I said, they'll probably take care of that during season three.
He'll still probably have the Darksaber.
So both factions, the Mandalorians
Bo-Katan faction in the Armor's faction will be more willing to follow him.
Grogu will be way more powerful, like he'll continue to get more powerful
through season three and they'll probably like a small time
jump between season three and season four again,
just because they've been doing that the past couple of seasons
will probably already have met Grand Admiral Thrawn, either like a teaser
at the end of the Mandalorian Season three and more fully during the Ahsoka series.
Or they'll just wait for the Ahsoka series to show him on screen
and we'll know more about his grand plan to take control of the galaxy
again under a new empire that they're trying to form.
Like I said, the overarching plot with Grand Admiral Thrawn seems like
they're trying to do a version of the Heir to the Empire trilogy,
like the original Thrawn trilogy, but in this time period of the Mandalorian.
So if you've read those novels, something similar to that,
like some of the storylines from that adapted
with different characters, Moff Gideon is supposed to return in force,
so he'll probably be more powerful again in season four with Grand Admiral Thrawn.
They also teased that he would have Mandalorian inspired armor upgrades.
So the whole idea is that he has this very Darth
Vader inspired armor in the first couple of seasons during season three.
I believe he's supposed to debut
some more Mandalorian Beskar inspired Armor Designs.
I think the vibe of that will be closer to the Mandalorian Super Commandos.
Those were initially the ones that served Darth Maul the Mandalorians and sided
with Darth Maul and then later wound up serving the Emperor.
And it sounds like they plan to release season four at the end of next year
because they're going to start filming it in October this year,
which gives them more than enough time
to finish the season before the end of next year,
which is great, which means we don't have to wait
like two years before we get the next season.
There are rumors that they're filming the book of Boba Fett Season two
because they're building a new version of his ship, The Slave One and his armor.
But they could just be building that for the Mandalorian Season four.
Rosario Dawson also teased that the Ahsoka series release
date is going to be in the fall, which is basically
any time between September and the end of the year.
She was talking about fall in the United States.
I'm excited.
I'm nervous about it.
And also just for your character, Ahsoka.
Yeah, that's going to probably come out in the fall.
The past several months,
they've been saying that the Skeleton Crew series,
which also takes place in the same time period Jon
Favreau talked about at the beginning of this clip
that stars
Jude Law and a bunch of other characters in a different part of the galaxy,
like those characters won't show up during The Mandalorian Season
three before they show up in the Skeleton Crew series.
They've been saying that that's going to release at the very end of 2023
this year,
but they could always wind up delaying that
just because they made
a couple schedule changes with the way that Marvel and Star Wars
people release their series
so they could wait till the end of the year
to release the Ahsoka episodes, or they could release that
in like September or October and get all eight episodes of that out
and then release Skeleton Crew around the same time
they started releasing the book of Boba Fett Season one.
Either way, there's going to be a bunch of Star Wars stuff happening
towards the end of this year,
and there will be multiple seasons of the Ahsoka series.
Like it'll run for like three, four, hopefully five or more seasons.
They're also supposed to announce what the next Star Wars movie is going to be,
and that's supposed to come out in 2025 at the end of 2025.
A lot of that will get announced around Star Wars Day this year.
I think that's when we're going to get the first Ahsoka trailer as well.
I've actually already done a video on the leaked trailer that they released.
You can click here to learn about that and click here for that
opening scene from The Mandalorian Season three Episode one.
Thank you so much for watching. Everyone. Stay safe.
This is the way.
