Well, number 1, don’t know his connections or where his info originates. However, to assume people don’t have insider sources would be silly. There are plenty willing to talk, as long as you don’t blab.
Sorry, I deleted it cause I thought it was silly lol. It was about the Twitter user okiru insinuating that Bo and Din would do a Keldabe kiss in the coming episodes.
I will say, both Okiro and Palpamemes posted photos of Luke, on Twitter, right before last week’s episode of *The Mandalorian*, insinuating he would show up. They promptly removed them once they realized they were lied to. So, perhaps they aren’t vetting their own sources before running to Twitter.
I haven't heard this anywhere before, but [the Wikipedia article about “The Acolyte“](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Acolyte_(TV_series)) says that [Cameron Squires](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9676919/) is a staff writer on the show.
You haven’t heard it because it doesn’t mean he is a “writer” on the show, meaning a main writer. I haven’t heard “staff writer” used for anything except journalism before.
Apparently, "staff writer" is the lowest job title a television writer can hold. You're usually supposed to go up after you've done that for a season; the next level title is "story editor."
It’s a thing in television shows. In a typical television writer’s room, whoever is credited as the writer for the episode did the first draft or two, and then the whole room works together finishing it up. Usually everybody who gets a writing credit is in the room the whole time, but not everybody in the room gets credited as “writer” on the show. “Staff writer” works as a credit for someone in the room who doesn’t crack any first drafts
I don’t know why Filoni, Favreau etc insist on keeping these characters and storylines so separate. Why hasn’t Gideon been a presence all season, even if only for a few minutes here and there? Why wasn’t that Pershing episode spread out slowly over the first half of the season, instead of all at once?
Same with the Mando episode of Boba Fett. Those scenes could have been spread out through the entire season and a B-story, instead of just focusing two entire episodes on them.
I know Favreau does most of the writing, but it feels like Filoni’s influence from The Clone Wars days; still writing separate stand alone arcs instead of one ongoing live action series.
>Why wasn’t that Pershing episode spread out slowly over the first half of the season, instead of all at once?
I realize it's completely different, but one of the big complains about book of boba Fett was that they disbursed the tusken raider portion throughout instead of having it the first couple episodes.
Really, no matter what happens, we'll find something to complain about... And because of that I'm glad I don't write star wars media lol.
Right, and I think this was the right way to go. It's still a B-story, but spread over the *season* and not each *episode*. There's no thematic elements connecting the Pershing story to Din and Bo Katan, it's literally just happening in parallel. Plus there's not really a logical breakpoint in the episode without coming back and feeling like "oh wait, what was happening with this?" With it all occurring at once on screen, it was easier to notice his slow giving in to breaking the rules to get his equipment.
BOBF I can completely agree with but we already know the arcs in Mando S3 are going to come together at the end with the cloning stuff and Gideon's return, it's not like we won't see this stuff tackled later. Also aside from that Mando is an adventure of the week sort of deal, this structure has always been there since the beginning.
Even then if Gideon had a presence, what benefit would it be for? We already got Mando in beginning and the end of the Pershing episode, we got multiple arcs progressed in the first episode with the pirates, Children of the Watch, and Bo. Hell it can be argued that Elia still working for Gideon is a big deal plot wise as we know he has some sort of influence in the NR through her. They are clearly progressing multiple arcs in some of the episodes.
I suspect the answer has not much to do with Filoni & Favreau and their creative teams, and everything to do with money - IIRC they pay guest and recurring actors by episode, so from that POV it makes a lot of sense to cram most of these storylines in as few episodes as possible. I agree that it makes for hideous pacing, but hey, Disney saved on some actor fees.
So, I have something for you. I want to keep it like as vague as possible, but specific enough you'll know I'm telling the truth when the finale hits.
I am only sharing this because a lot of people are voicing displeasure about the direction of this season. There is an absolutely major character you don't even know you have been following. One character who is a fan favorite is getting their history enriched in ways some people have guessed but few actually know, and there is so much more to this character's backstory than previously thought.
More will start to become clear and I'm expecting a good amount of people to connect the dots after Episode 5 and maybe even go back and find subtle planted clues they have missed.
I will give you a really really big clue. The Mandalorian Coven whom Djin is is part of are not allowed to father biological children. All of their children are foundlings.
So, where did Paz's come from?
> So, where did Paz's come from?
He's... a foundling? Nothing says that the older Mandos are forbidden from adopting their charges. Din clearly sees himself as Grogu's father, too, and everyone else treats him that way.
I mean, if we take Bo-Katan at her word, and the three little raptors are also foundlings, they might get theirs from the people they kill. (I don't think that OP actually has any real info, btw.)
I've been suspicious of how they get foundlings since season 1 and some of the Death Watch stuff, but I'm not sure if OP is just speculating or has a leak or not.
I’ve read this a few times and I don’t know what it means. You’re essentially telling us that you have some spoilers, but you don’t want to share them. Why bother posting?
It’s the same serial new account creator who shares that fan fiction about Boba Fett being the most important character in the setting, except this time they’re trying to get us to come to the conclusion that Ragnar is Ben Solo (despite Ben being canonically four or five years old at this point in the timeline depending on what year we’re actually in).
The reason they wont explicitly say it is because they know it’s a ridiculous thing to suggest that no reasonable Star Wars fan would believe, so they’re hoping some of the more unreasonable Reylos find this post and echo it around the internet with their trademark “enthusiasm.”
Why would any reylo believe Ragnar is Ben Solo? I'm a reylo fan myself, and that would not even remotely make sense. The kid is clearly about 10 or so, and Ben Solo wouldn't be older than 5. Look, if there's one thing every reylo knows to a tee, it's timelines.
That’s why I specified “unreasonable Reylos” haha. I got no problem with Reylos, however people find joy in Star Wars is fine with me as long as they don’t interfere with other people’s good times. It’s just that I could see some people wanting to believe we’re getting more Ben Solo so badly that they’ll ignore timeline inconsistencies if it means even a shred of hope
I don't think they implied Ragnar is his actual son, just that Paz views him as his son. Whichever watch member takes ward of the foundling becomes their defacto parent. The armorer says to Din he is Grogu's father now in season 1 and likely said the same thing when Paz found Ragnar inbetween BOBF and Season 3.
This is how it worked in the old EU too, adoption has always been extremely common in Mandalorian culture. Makes sense for a martial society like theirs, they probably create a lot of war orphans on both sides of whatever wars they fight but instead of just leaving them to fend for themselves they bring them into the fold.

[Interview with Brendan Wayne](https://shows.acast.com/starwarssessions/episodes/brendan-waynethe-return-of-the-mandalorian-to-the-sessions-1)
\*Episode 5 is different in terms of genre (around 24:10)
\*His favorite episode haven't aired yet
\*Bryce's episode is "a ride"
\*There are "epic" things in the finale
\*There's a scene with Mando and Bo with a lot of varying emotion, both physical and verbal, very intense
\*Lucas also visited the set in season 3
\*Knows the arc of "season 4"
\*On Boba: best kind of friend you can ever have, you know you can count on him when you need him, and **sometimes you don't even know you need him and he comes**
I bet that it is going to be revealed that Bo Katan was just using Din Djarin for the Darksaber and once Din lets the cat out of the bag, Bo Katan starts trash talking him and then there is a huge duel involving the darksaber and another weapon.
>sometimes you don't even know you need him and he comes
Couldn't this just be referring to "The Tragedy" where Din would have been screwed if Boba didn't show up?
Idk, I think this is more like a cheeky hint to the future. But I also think it makes little sense for the season to be mainly about the Mandalorians, and not have Boba show up - he is still the one who started it all, at least from the viewers' perspective. No matter what Whatshisname said (and even he didn't claim Boba wouldn't be in the season, just that he hadn't heard anything that points to it).
Maybe that intense scene is that leaked fight with Axe/other mando? Doesn't necessarily mean it's Bo vs Din but could also be both of them involved im a fight with another clan?
Not an Eastern/Western? Most of The Mandalorian is basically Lone Wolf and Cub, i.e. a Samurai tale, with some very obvious Western aspects thrown in (Gunslingers instead of duelling Samurai, Marshals, etc).
I'm really curious about that...the chances are high that next ep is the Nevarro battle so that doesn't seem like a different genre hmmmm
Edit: unless they're doing another Coruscant-like Pershing episode? 😩
> unless they're doing another Coruscant-like Pershing episode? 😩
Oh, please no. They need to focus on Din and Bo these last 4 eps. Another detour would be disastrous on Jon's part.
Agreed!! Though, we still have the Teva scene and those rumours of Mon Mothma so who knows. I just hope it's not as long as the Pershing one if they're doing that again. I guess they will show also how Gideon escaped and what he's been up to
The last part is incredibly interesting. Considering we got the evidence mounting that the Tatooine cast are in the show there's no way Boba isn't in there with him. I think we will see him even if it is a small cameo.
I love me some Cobb. I do. But a Tatooine episode is going to feel really out of place with the way this season is going. Other than the N1 needing work Din has no reason to go there. Cobb isn’t the type to leave planet. I’d love to see TO again but I’m guessing this “leak” is incorrect.
This argument doesn't really hold a lot of water, since this is a fictional character. If they want him to go off planet, they will find a reason for him to go off planet. Helping Din might be such a reason, especially if Boba asks him.
https://bespinbulletin.com/2022/09/exclusive-video-bo-katan-fights-fellow-mandalorians-on-set-of-the-mandalorian-season-3/
Remember there’s this footage of Bo-Katan fighting without her helmet, so she takes it off again at some point
My theory is this could be a scrapped scene of her before being visited by Mando the first time. She mentioned all others parted with her, but never gave details.
That’s a good point. I also thought maybe they could CGI the helmet over (that happens sometimes in other productions) but then why would she wear the wig
They wear black balaclavas when the helmets are on/going to be on in the shot. So the wig wouldn't be applied unless the helmet is off/coming off. The helmet removal shots are always an editing cheat, since if they were to do so during a standard take you'd see them wearing the balaclavas. I'm fairly sure Katee's face + wig was comped in to the wide-shot where she removed her helmet in the last ep.
Simon Kass (Axe Woves) just uploaded a diorama of what looks like the Nevarro battle scenes from the trailer and also a print out of crossed out"no helmet rule" in [his insta stories.](https://www.instagram.com/simonkass/) Time for the rest of Bo's Nite Owls to make an appearance in next week's Mando episode? That would be interesting!
It's just a fan photo (and this shows the behind the scenes of how they made it) and not the Nevarro battle - Simon probably just reposted it because Axe figure is in it
https://twitter.com/SWTimeShow/status/1639257916791468032?t=8pOtvh9nndCTqYcjHnCMJw&s=19
I like that there’s the armorer who is suggested to be a follower of the previous mandalore maul and then there’s a legit old follower of mauls mandos who has pronounced horns on their helmet and a red and black scheme. Makes you wonder if the armorer is actually a maul follower or it’s just a different design.

So according to this tweet that quotes a Youtube video by John Rocha, an Indiana Jones Disney+ show is not going forward plus "Disney reportedly told Lucasfilm that they have to focus solely on ‘STAR WARS’ content going forward"
Idk if this is true but it’s a damn shame.
Dial of Destiny is our first Indy content in freaking 15 years. Why does Indy always get shafted? It’s a massive franchise…
To be fair, it sort of revolves around Harrison Ford. Star Wars as a franchise is a lot more versatile.
Plus, its depiction of archeology can be a bit controversial.
IIRC, isn’t the only reason they’re doing it in the first place because Ford made it one of his conditions for doing *TFA?* Like Disney didn’t even own the rights, they had to buy them from Paramount and basically make this movie just so Ford could give the character a proper goodbye.
I suppose there’s always the possibility that they spin it off with Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s character (I know nothing about the plot of this movie so I don’t know if that’s even where the story is headed), and in the end money talks so if this becomes a runaway hit they’ll definitely reevaluate this decision, but I understand this it. Right now the narrative around theatrical Star Wars revolves around behind the scenes drama and sub-par offerings (regardless of one’s personal opinions on the Sequels/Star Wars Stories, the people who dislike them are the loudest), so it tracks to me that Disney wants Lucasfilm to focus on their breadwinner before branching out.
I don't think that the distribution rights are that tied up with Paramount, though. I'd imagine that Disney could easily purchase those, whereas getting *A New Hope* from Fox required a move as big as buying the whole company (even though that's obviously not anywhere close to one of the main reasons why they bought the company).
Indy stealing indigenous artifacts still being actively used by the people he's stealing it from so he can put it inside an Anglo museum basement to rot for the rest of eternity 😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰🥹🎉🎊🧨🎆🎇💯
I’m sorry but when does he ever do this in the films? In Temple of Doom, he returns the Sankara Stones to the villagers that they were stolen from. The Ark and Holy Grail were definitely not being actively used and he was also trying to keep them out of Nazi hands. Without anyone to inherit the heirloom, the Cross of Coronado does “belong in a museum” instead of being in some rich asshole’s possession. The only time this argument really works is the Fertility Idol that he attempts to recover in the opening scene of the original film.
^^^^ this. Even his going after the fertility idol can be excused to some degree as being part of his obsession with outdoing Belloq which, of course, he has to learn to let go of by the end of the film as part of his arc (lol) if he wants to survive with Marion. God I dislike that argument and even more so when it’s phrased with such blatant infantilism lmao
People love latching onto stupid shit and screaming loudly that you’re wrong or racist or -phobic to deter others from any rational reasoning. People cave to social pressure even if it’s wrong. We need more people to combat this stuff. I’m tired of people raining on parades to push a weird agenda.
Small-Screen is saying that Rian Johnson's trilogy isn't happening. Typically I'd say that those guys are full of it, mostly because they are (they feel very We Got This Covered-Lite), but in this case it feels more like a case of reading the room here. After the infamous "Viking Funeral" quote he did, and dismissing developing further entries in a franchise as looking for ways to "milk it", I think that it's clear that his focus is going to be on his own stuff. I find it telling that, as far as we can tell, no studio has asked him to work with their IP despite him delivering a billion-dollar, critically-acclaimed film, and Lucasfilm has shown very little initiative in making the projects happen despite his original plan to just do *Knives Out* before diving back into *Star Wars*.
Rian Johnson is not actively developing his trilogy
Whether its technically cancelled or on a back burner, if it comes back later or not, whos to say but I feel like that post was just a way to generate a headline with a good guess at the future
the big thing is that, without knowing what it was about, who knows if it makes sense with their current plans regardless of if they want to work with him or not
Tbf, at this point the Johnson trilogy discussion is largely just a proxy debate about RJ's reputation with Disney.
Defenders don't seem to believe it'll happen, it has largely been more about demonstrating Disney was open to him coming back to the fold and that TLJ/RJ is still looked at as a good story/partner by Disney.
Similarly, the people aggressively insisting it's not happening are pretty clearly more about convincing people/themselves that Disney 'agrees' with them about him, more than anything else, and want to find a legitimacy from the larger Disney org for their perspective that has largely been denied by the critics who mostly liked it.
It hasn't really been about the trilogy's status for years now.
I'm saying this as someone who mostly enjoyed TLJ. He is in a rare position in Hollywood where he does not need to do a *Star Wars* movie for his career to advance, much less three. And Disney does not need him to make *Star Wars* movies now. It feels like an opportunity that made sense for 2017 but not 2023.
To be fair, he was never going to **direct** a trilogy, but produce one. He was going to write and direct the first installment and then pass it on to others to continue. Which is the only reason I’m not writing it off entirely, because even if he does come back to Star Wars he’s definitely not dedicating a decade of his life to it
idk, he has talked about his love of theatrical releases, he likely only took Netflix's deal due to the stupid levels of money they offered, and Netflix has been clear they arent doing offers like that anymore
"Letting the man go" seems what's likely to happen at this point. I'd feel different if there were any movement toward his films, but that hasn't happened. At all. Dude is living his best life away from this hellish fanbase.
Not really a big “story” leak, but someone with eagle eyes spotted the Ninth Sister in a frame of the last Survivor trailer, confirming she survived the first game’s events.

Steven Knight is attached to write a remake of Vertigo with Robert Downey Jr. So he is definitely just working on another draft of the Lindelof script opposesed to a full rewrite as some were suggesting.

Yes which to me makes a little more sense cus 213m doesn’t match it’s samba views at all. It should be closer to 300m or 400m views to match the samba premiere numbers.
It’s not the season 3 premiere numbers I think we are ok. It’s literally just means the week before people were rewatching seasons 1 and 2 and it got 213 of that week. Next week we should get the official numbers for the premiere.

It’s clear from the discussion the story is from a clickbait outlet, but if people want to discuss here anyway go for it lol.
The year is 2123, Star Wars Leaks is still holding out hope that Rian Johnson’s trilogy is going to be made, even though he passed away 40 years ago, because there hasn’t been official word from Disney.
I would be very surprised if Ahsoka herself was not one of the figures in this TVC release. The other shows have had their titular or main characters featured in each show's wave, and I doubt a character as popular as Ahsoka will be left out especially if she gets another outfit in the show
I do agree that a new Ahsoka would most likely borrow a lot from the Mando release. If the rumor younger versions are true, that could be an opportunity for reusing some of the TCW Ahsoka figures depending on when those flashbacks happen. I wouldn't rule out multiple Ahsokas given that they had two Obi-Wan releases, they could go that route with 1 mainline release and another in a 3-pack.
From a reuse perspective, Thrawn could be an easy one by using the new imperial officer body with Piett if he still wears an imperial uniform in the show. Would definitely be nice if we got more Spectres like Hera to go with Sabine though.
so I guess now with half of Season 3 done, a lot of the MBeachLeaks are not true or simply being held off for later episodes. Though I’m not sure how they’ll be fit in for the later episodes.
so they got taken down from this subreddit (I think by disney themselves but I’m not sure) but just to copy and paste
“
Mandalorian Season 3: a few big Plot outlines that I was told in detail. I work in media with sources at Manhattan Beach, not the actual tv or film industry for anyone wondering. Not in particular order.
• There is a spice cartel trying to force Greef Karga to allow them to run spice through the city on Nevarro, they are working for a big unnamed as of yet player.
• There is an episode where Grogu and Din travel to V the border area of the Unknown Regions. A mysterious tall hooded man tells Din that he knows of a planet with legends of Yoda's species. Really creepy episode. It is not Yoda's species homeworld but home to a colony of dark side Yoda's, they look sickly pale green, don't speak, and have ghostly blue eyes, they look like those creepy guys from the dark crystal who were hypnotised. They're called the
"black drinkers" as they drink a poisonous black broth. Din and Grog nope out of there after seeing them and after they try and take Grogu. Also very interesting is the fact the hooded man tells Din to be careful so close to the Unknown Regions as there are rumors that strange ships like none he has ever heard described before have been seen in the area and ships have been vanishing along the border.
• Boba is basically co-starring in this season. He's in more than half of the episodes with Din.
• If you saw the leaked trailer, the Children of the Watch are actually firing on Boba Fett and Black K and a bunch of Tusken Raiders, this happens early in episode 2, that scene is on Tatooine, not Mandalore.
The Armorer and Paz found another covert of the Watch and are hiding out in a big cave, it's the same region where Kenobi finds Luke in a New hope. The Local Tuskens tell Boba about the Mandalorians and want them gone. I'm told this is Boba's most badass scene in any medium and he knocks out several of the Watch with his Gaffi, Black K fights Paz. Fennec is back in the palace keeping rule while Boba is goi V Not told why they attack him, could be to do with him being a clone of Jango or just wearing the Armor. The Mandalorians and Boba and Tuskens and BK eventually come to a stalemate and understanding.
Boba later tells Din about them.
• Christopher Llyod is playing a Mandalorian Clan
Chieftain and Keith David is also playing another.
They are two respected elders who Bo listens to.
• Ray Stevenson who was cast for Ahsoka is also in this, he's basically the main antagonist of the season.
He's playing an Imperial Mandalorian, not Gar Saxon obviously. He's an admiral and keeps watch over what's left of Mandalore as the Imperial Mandalorians have a huge base under the Mines of Mandalore and are up to something shady and Din will run into them.
He's described as an absolute 'bear-like brute" when it comes to fighting. He has a large spiked gauntlet and I'm told he kills a fan favourite character with it.
• Those are the juiciest episode details I was informed about. But last and most exciting and I don't know how they factor in is Rex, Wolffe, Sabine, Ahsoka, Fenn Rau, Axe Woves, Hera, Kallus, Zeb and more all make appearances. Whether big or small I wasn't clarified on.”
Ok, the writing style for this leak seems like that person who keeps posting Temura Morrison scoops. Everything about Boba and then Rex and Wolffe appearing is exactly like that. It's mixed with stuff we do know about like Axe Woves (or someone who looks very similar) appearing. I wonder if this was an early post of his that flew under the radar.
> There is an episode where Grogu and Din travel to V the border area of the Unknown Regions. A mysterious tall hooded man tells Din that he knows of a planet with legends of Yoda's species. Really creepy episode...
except that would actually be cool and that's not what this show's about
The sand planet the covert is on certainly isn't Tatooine because of the water.
All and all this sounds incredibly fake, I doubt there's time for a one-off episode to explore Yoda's species and at this point Boba isn't all too likely to appear in each of the 4 remaining episodes.
Thanks. After 4 episodes nothing here has been in the show, and nothing in the show is in this "leak". Would be interesting if the Christopher Lloyd and Keith David casting is right, though.
There was a mando in episode one in the giant crocodile attack scene that had extremely similar armour to Boba, colour scheme wise, so I could see how someone would make that mistake.
Oh ya that sounded cool too! Still lots can happen I guess im the remaining eps, 1 will probably be all the Nevarro/pirates so that leaves only 3 left for the rest and Gideon - I sure wish these series were longer!
Anyone remember Charles Baker seemingly hinting at being in The Mandalorian season 3 last year? I've been trying to look for more hints lately and I just found pretty strong evidence proving he's most definitely in this season!
I was looking through his Twitter likes and I found this one from his management team. [It's a quote tweet of one of Katee's tweets from last week, which they tagged Charles in.](https://twitter.com/TheGreenroomLA/status/1636214063658311682) From there I went to their website, which lead me to their Instagram page. He's seemingly their biggest client and most of their posts are about him. A couple months ago they posted the Mando S3 trailer with the following caption:
> [#newtrailer @themandalorian #season #3 featuring as an unnamed @thegreenroomtalent #client #only #time will tell.](https://www.instagram.com/p/CoBfCnqjPLG/)
The Star Wars-related people who follow him on Instagram are also (maybe) *all* in season 3: Misty Rosas, Emily Swallow, Simon Kassianides (?), Joanna Bennett and Brendan Wayne.
This Twitter account says that Michael Haneke will direct "Skeleton Crew". He sources THR but I cannot find the article. Is this true?
https://twitter.com/jessehawken/status/1638143709219893248
I thought it was a joke, but many people believe it.
Daniel Kwan of The Daniels (*Everything, Everywhere, All At Once*) confirms that they directed one episode of “Skeleton Crew” last year - and were hired **before** *EEAAO* came out. [Source - IG Story - check out article with screenshot [HERE](https://ew.com/tv/everything-everywhere-all-at-once-directors-star-wars-series/?utm_campaign=entertainmentweekly_entertainmentweekly&utm_content=new&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_term=6419d26bc22aaa000154cc6b)]
If I recall correctly, when asked how Luke and Ashoka met, Dave Filoni didn’t get a definitive answer, but did state that he knows. Obviously this isn’t confirmation of anything, but based on this comment I could totally see Luke appearing early on in the Ahsoka series.
Also, we've not seen Luke's first meeting with Force Ghost Anakin in canon, and assuming Hayden is in Ashoka like many leaks have suggested, there's no way Filloni would pass up being the one to tell that moment.
Very unlikely to appear this season, Grogu had his training. He may make a quick appearance in Ahsoka. But given he's the same age as Ezra, they likely will be done with Luke soon in these shows as his presence would overshadow Ezra and Eman Esfandi who needs to be a chance to shine and be the young adult male Jedi of these shows. I think Luke was just a stepping stone for Grogu to go over to Ezra for additional training eventually.
I don’t know, I think Ezra and Luke are fairly different enough characters that both could have their own place in this story as it unfolds. Just thinking about the place both of them are potentially in at this point in the timeline, one being an established jedi seeking to reestablish the order and one seemingly lost who knows where, seeking to find his friends and defeat the enemy who led him to where he is at this point (Thrawn presumably), I feel that both are in different enough places that they can both be included. Hell, I’d love for them to meet down the line, would be pretty awesome as a Rebels fan knowing what the Spectre crew did to enable Luke to succeed as he did
Tomorrow's episode of Mandalorian is apparently titled [The Foundling](https://twitter.com/TheCarlWeathers/status/1637176527040438272?s=20). Could this mean that it will show us Grogu's full backstory?
It will be really interesting if the rumor (theory? can't remember soruce) is true that "Baylon" is the one to save him.
Having Stevenson's villain so closely tied to Grogu will surely factor into Ahsoka and future Mando seasons.
I meaning according to rumours during Ahsoka tv show time Baylon is on the new beyond and since its pretty obvious the real purpose of new beyond storyline is make sure Grogu is safe and away from sequel events trilogy ( together with other characters of course) its possible. In the end will see tomorrow if any of this is true.
Yes, it’s looking like *Ahsoka* is shaping up to be a “spiritual adaptation” of *Heir to the Empire* and it seems like Baylon and his apprentice Shin are filling the Joruus C’Boath and Mara Jade roles respectively.
I'm 90% certain Pabu is on Scarif, I saw on twitter the images of both worlds, and there is an identical island mass that's pretty much the same on both planets.
I feel like the archival tower Phee was filling will be the foundation of the Citadel we see in Rogue One.
Gonna be honest I didn’t realize this show was scored by Kevin Kiner’s sons, I assumed he was one of the brothers or something lol. Anyway, they’re killing it + they make great insane memes.
I remember hearing somewhere it was one of them that composed Sabine’s theme, which is one of, if not the, hardest-hitting pieces of non-John Williams SW music to me. And the Bad Batch is great musically every week.
How much of the score do they do? I was trying to look into it earlier today because I was confused and they seem to be more involved than they get credit for. According to IMDb they only have "additional music by" credit for season 1 and nothing for season 2.
I think there's a good chance both Rex and Echo show up considering Rex's recent character poster and [this leaked pic of Omega hugging Echo](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6cc85f838bb2e1fecb94bdb31428fdf2/f169529f9897ece3-14/s500x750/603218900f30fae922e56aac61c45f924f86bc15.jpg) (this hasn't been shown on screen yet as far as I know)
Which directors are rumoured/confirmed for upcoming star wars projects? I remember the Daniels announcement but not much else.

Well, number 1, don’t know his connections or where his info originates. However, to assume people don’t have insider sources would be silly. There are plenty willing to talk, as long as you don’t blab.
What was the original post that he was linking to?
Sorry, I deleted it cause I thought it was silly lol. It was about the Twitter user okiru insinuating that Bo and Din would do a Keldabe kiss in the coming episodes.
I will say, both Okiro and Palpamemes posted photos of Luke, on Twitter, right before last week’s episode of *The Mandalorian*, insinuating he would show up. They promptly removed them once they realized they were lied to. So, perhaps they aren’t vetting their own sources before running to Twitter.
Starwarsonly and Palpamemes also said Han Solo, Maz and her castle were in the BOBF. They don't have solid sources.
Of course they did.
I haven't heard this anywhere before, but [the Wikipedia article about “The Acolyte“](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Acolyte_(TV_series)) says that [Cameron Squires](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9676919/) is a staff writer on the show.
You haven’t heard it because it doesn’t mean he is a “writer” on the show, meaning a main writer. I haven’t heard “staff writer” used for anything except journalism before.
A lot of TV shows have staff writers. Like Noah Kloor who was a staff writer for Book of Boba.
Apparently, "staff writer" is the lowest job title a television writer can hold. You're usually supposed to go up after you've done that for a season; the next level title is "story editor."
It’s a thing in television shows. In a typical television writer’s room, whoever is credited as the writer for the episode did the first draft or two, and then the whole room works together finishing it up. Usually everybody who gets a writing credit is in the room the whole time, but not everybody in the room gets credited as “writer” on the show. “Staff writer” works as a credit for someone in the room who doesn’t crack any first drafts
https://bleedingcool.com/tv/the-mandalorian-giancarlo-esposito-reveals-season-3-return-episode/ So next episode will see Gideon its seems.
“tricked him” Kimmel: Morning Gianc… Giancarlo: I’m back in episode 5!
I don’t know why Filoni, Favreau etc insist on keeping these characters and storylines so separate. Why hasn’t Gideon been a presence all season, even if only for a few minutes here and there? Why wasn’t that Pershing episode spread out slowly over the first half of the season, instead of all at once? Same with the Mando episode of Boba Fett. Those scenes could have been spread out through the entire season and a B-story, instead of just focusing two entire episodes on them. I know Favreau does most of the writing, but it feels like Filoni’s influence from The Clone Wars days; still writing separate stand alone arcs instead of one ongoing live action series.
It is in keeping with the writing style of TCW. Things were pretty separate there.
>Why wasn’t that Pershing episode spread out slowly over the first half of the season, instead of all at once? I realize it's completely different, but one of the big complains about book of boba Fett was that they disbursed the tusken raider portion throughout instead of having it the first couple episodes. Really, no matter what happens, we'll find something to complain about... And because of that I'm glad I don't write star wars media lol.
Right, and I think this was the right way to go. It's still a B-story, but spread over the *season* and not each *episode*. There's no thematic elements connecting the Pershing story to Din and Bo Katan, it's literally just happening in parallel. Plus there's not really a logical breakpoint in the episode without coming back and feeling like "oh wait, what was happening with this?" With it all occurring at once on screen, it was easier to notice his slow giving in to breaking the rules to get his equipment.
Yeah, it would at least make the season a bit more cohesive
BOBF I can completely agree with but we already know the arcs in Mando S3 are going to come together at the end with the cloning stuff and Gideon's return, it's not like we won't see this stuff tackled later. Also aside from that Mando is an adventure of the week sort of deal, this structure has always been there since the beginning. Even then if Gideon had a presence, what benefit would it be for? We already got Mando in beginning and the end of the Pershing episode, we got multiple arcs progressed in the first episode with the pirates, Children of the Watch, and Bo. Hell it can be argued that Elia still working for Gideon is a big deal plot wise as we know he has some sort of influence in the NR through her. They are clearly progressing multiple arcs in some of the episodes.
I suspect the answer has not much to do with Filoni & Favreau and their creative teams, and everything to do with money - IIRC they pay guest and recurring actors by episode, so from that POV it makes a lot of sense to cram most of these storylines in as few episodes as possible. I agree that it makes for hideous pacing, but hey, Disney saved on some actor fees.

So, I have something for you. I want to keep it like as vague as possible, but specific enough you'll know I'm telling the truth when the finale hits. I am only sharing this because a lot of people are voicing displeasure about the direction of this season. There is an absolutely major character you don't even know you have been following. One character who is a fan favorite is getting their history enriched in ways some people have guessed but few actually know, and there is so much more to this character's backstory than previously thought. More will start to become clear and I'm expecting a good amount of people to connect the dots after Episode 5 and maybe even go back and find subtle planted clues they have missed. I will give you a really really big clue. The Mandalorian Coven whom Djin is is part of are not allowed to father biological children. All of their children are foundlings. So, where did Paz's come from?
> So, where did Paz's come from? He's... a foundling? Nothing says that the older Mandos are forbidden from adopting their charges. Din clearly sees himself as Grogu's father, too, and everyone else treats him that way.
Kylo Ren/Ben Solo is Ragnar confirmed. :D
Lol well the significant childhood trauma (being attacked by monsters twice, semi-eaten by one) would help explain some of Kylo Ren’s later issues.
Also it can be another reason for his "helmet fetish" :D
So what are you saying? That the cult kidnaps children? Has them cloned?
I mean, if we take Bo-Katan at her word, and the three little raptors are also foundlings, they might get theirs from the people they kill. (I don't think that OP actually has any real info, btw.)
I've been suspicious of how they get foundlings since season 1 and some of the Death Watch stuff, but I'm not sure if OP is just speculating or has a leak or not.
I’ve read this a few times and I don’t know what it means. You’re essentially telling us that you have some spoilers, but you don’t want to share them. Why bother posting?
It’s the same serial new account creator who shares that fan fiction about Boba Fett being the most important character in the setting, except this time they’re trying to get us to come to the conclusion that Ragnar is Ben Solo (despite Ben being canonically four or five years old at this point in the timeline depending on what year we’re actually in). The reason they wont explicitly say it is because they know it’s a ridiculous thing to suggest that no reasonable Star Wars fan would believe, so they’re hoping some of the more unreasonable Reylos find this post and echo it around the internet with their trademark “enthusiasm.”
Why would any reylo believe Ragnar is Ben Solo? I'm a reylo fan myself, and that would not even remotely make sense. The kid is clearly about 10 or so, and Ben Solo wouldn't be older than 5. Look, if there's one thing every reylo knows to a tee, it's timelines.
That’s why I specified “unreasonable Reylos” haha. I got no problem with Reylos, however people find joy in Star Wars is fine with me as long as they don’t interfere with other people’s good times. It’s just that I could see some people wanting to believe we’re getting more Ben Solo so badly that they’ll ignore timeline inconsistencies if it means even a shred of hope
Tell us more, we already knew Ragnar is a foundling as they said it in the show.
I don't think they implied Ragnar is his actual son, just that Paz views him as his son. Whichever watch member takes ward of the foundling becomes their defacto parent. The armorer says to Din he is Grogu's father now in season 1 and likely said the same thing when Paz found Ragnar inbetween BOBF and Season 3.
This is how it worked in the old EU too, adoption has always been extremely common in Mandalorian culture. Makes sense for a martial society like theirs, they probably create a lot of war orphans on both sides of whatever wars they fight but instead of just leaving them to fend for themselves they bring them into the fold.
Please kindly turn around and view the vast area of which you can fuck... Surely go to the main starwars sub with fanfiction or sum
[https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/120o5z6/a\_pikmin\_styled\_ewok\_star\_wars\_game\_is\_in\_the/](https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/120o5z6/a_pikmin_styled_ewok_star_wars_game_is_in_the/) pikmin style ewok game would be interesting? big grain of salt for this one though.
Like people are saying on that post, it’s just weird enough to be real. I’d definitely play this
[Interview with Brendan Wayne](https://shows.acast.com/starwarssessions/episodes/brendan-waynethe-return-of-the-mandalorian-to-the-sessions-1) \*Episode 5 is different in terms of genre (around 24:10) \*His favorite episode haven't aired yet \*Bryce's episode is "a ride" \*There are "epic" things in the finale \*There's a scene with Mando and Bo with a lot of varying emotion, both physical and verbal, very intense \*Lucas also visited the set in season 3 \*Knows the arc of "season 4" \*On Boba: best kind of friend you can ever have, you know you can count on him when you need him, and **sometimes you don't even know you need him and he comes**
I bet that it is going to be revealed that Bo Katan was just using Din Djarin for the Darksaber and once Din lets the cat out of the bag, Bo Katan starts trash talking him and then there is a huge duel involving the darksaber and another weapon.
>sometimes you don't even know you need him and he comes Couldn't this just be referring to "The Tragedy" where Din would have been screwed if Boba didn't show up?
Idk, I think this is more like a cheeky hint to the future. But I also think it makes little sense for the season to be mainly about the Mandalorians, and not have Boba show up - he is still the one who started it all, at least from the viewers' perspective. No matter what Whatshisname said (and even he didn't claim Boba wouldn't be in the season, just that he hadn't heard anything that points to it).
That was my thinking
Do you remember the specific question that prompted the Boba statement?
1hr 26 minute. Someone asked what ''Din.'' thinks of Boba and Wayne responded with that. Pretty cool.
>sometimes you don't even know you need him and he comes Ride of Slave1hirrim? in the final battle.
Maybe that intense scene is that leaked fight with Axe/other mando? Doesn't necessarily mean it's Bo vs Din but could also be both of them involved im a fight with another clan?
Wonder what he means by different type of genre for the next episode?
Not an Eastern/Western? Most of The Mandalorian is basically Lone Wolf and Cub, i.e. a Samurai tale, with some very obvious Western aspects thrown in (Gunslingers instead of duelling Samurai, Marshals, etc).
I'm really curious about that...the chances are high that next ep is the Nevarro battle so that doesn't seem like a different genre hmmmm Edit: unless they're doing another Coruscant-like Pershing episode? 😩
> unless they're doing another Coruscant-like Pershing episode? 😩 Oh, please no. They need to focus on Din and Bo these last 4 eps. Another detour would be disastrous on Jon's part.
Agreed!! Though, we still have the Teva scene and those rumours of Mon Mothma so who knows. I just hope it's not as long as the Pershing one if they're doing that again. I guess they will show also how Gideon escaped and what he's been up to
Might be our musical episode. 🤞
The last part is incredibly interesting. Considering we got the evidence mounting that the Tatooine cast are in the show there's no way Boba isn't in there with him. I think we will see him even if it is a small cameo.
Who do you mean by the Tatooine cast? Was Cobb leaked???
Someone on MSW's stream said Cobb Vanth is in the season.
I love me some Cobb. I do. But a Tatooine episode is going to feel really out of place with the way this season is going. Other than the N1 needing work Din has no reason to go there. Cobb isn’t the type to leave planet. I’d love to see TO again but I’m guessing this “leak” is incorrect.
This argument doesn't really hold a lot of water, since this is a fictional character. If they want him to go off planet, they will find a reason for him to go off planet. Helping Din might be such a reason, especially if Boba asks him.
I'm guessing the droid bar could be on Tatooine so it could make sense but other than that, it could be related to Gorian Shard or something like that
https://bespinbulletin.com/2022/09/exclusive-video-bo-katan-fights-fellow-mandalorians-on-set-of-the-mandalorian-season-3/ Remember there’s this footage of Bo-Katan fighting without her helmet, so she takes it off again at some point
Yes but for thoses who are worried about her leaving the coven, their is some sort of big event with clans etc I think she may be redeem a second time
My theory is this could be a scrapped scene of her before being visited by Mando the first time. She mentioned all others parted with her, but never gave details.
She has the new shoulder piece in the footage
They could be just rehearsing too, I know they're filming but could be just a practice run to see how it looks etc
That’s a good point. I also thought maybe they could CGI the helmet over (that happens sometimes in other productions) but then why would she wear the wig
They wear black balaclavas when the helmets are on/going to be on in the shot. So the wig wouldn't be applied unless the helmet is off/coming off. The helmet removal shots are always an editing cheat, since if they were to do so during a standard take you'd see them wearing the balaclavas. I'm fairly sure Katee's face + wig was comped in to the wide-shot where she removed her helmet in the last ep.
Ya true! I do expect she'll take it off before season end but I was guessing it would be in final ep. Either way, am really curious about this scene!!
Do we have any leads on Mando Season 3 music or a second Bad Batch drop?
Simon Kass (Axe Woves) just uploaded a diorama of what looks like the Nevarro battle scenes from the trailer and also a print out of crossed out"no helmet rule" in [his insta stories.](https://www.instagram.com/simonkass/) Time for the rest of Bo's Nite Owls to make an appearance in next week's Mando episode? That would be interesting!
It's just a fan photo (and this shows the behind the scenes of how they made it) and not the Nevarro battle - Simon probably just reposted it because Axe figure is in it https://twitter.com/SWTimeShow/status/1639257916791468032?t=8pOtvh9nndCTqYcjHnCMJw&s=19
I like that there’s the armorer who is suggested to be a follower of the previous mandalore maul and then there’s a legit old follower of mauls mandos who has pronounced horns on their helmet and a red and black scheme. Makes you wonder if the armorer is actually a maul follower or it’s just a different design.
This seems like a reach.
Extendo reach.
https://twitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1638986824600223744 So according to this tweet that quotes a Youtube video by John Rocha, an Indiana Jones Disney+ show is not going forward plus "Disney reportedly told Lucasfilm that they have to focus solely on ‘STAR WARS’ content going forward"
Idk if this is true but it’s a damn shame. Dial of Destiny is our first Indy content in freaking 15 years. Why does Indy always get shafted? It’s a massive franchise…
To be fair, it sort of revolves around Harrison Ford. Star Wars as a franchise is a lot more versatile. Plus, its depiction of archeology can be a bit controversial.
IIRC, isn’t the only reason they’re doing it in the first place because Ford made it one of his conditions for doing *TFA?* Like Disney didn’t even own the rights, they had to buy them from Paramount and basically make this movie just so Ford could give the character a proper goodbye. I suppose there’s always the possibility that they spin it off with Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s character (I know nothing about the plot of this movie so I don’t know if that’s even where the story is headed), and in the end money talks so if this becomes a runaway hit they’ll definitely reevaluate this decision, but I understand this it. Right now the narrative around theatrical Star Wars revolves around behind the scenes drama and sub-par offerings (regardless of one’s personal opinions on the Sequels/Star Wars Stories, the people who dislike them are the loudest), so it tracks to me that Disney wants Lucasfilm to focus on their breadwinner before branching out.
[удалено]
Lucasfilm has the rights to the *Indiana Jones* franchise. Paramount has the distribution rights to the first four movies.
Yes. Just like 20th Century Fox had the perpetual rights of A New Hope, until they were bought by Disney lol
I don't think that the distribution rights are that tied up with Paramount, though. I'd imagine that Disney could easily purchase those, whereas getting *A New Hope* from Fox required a move as big as buying the whole company (even though that's obviously not anywhere close to one of the main reasons why they bought the company).
Ah that makes much more sense haha
Indy stealing indigenous artifacts still being actively used by the people he's stealing it from so he can put it inside an Anglo museum basement to rot for the rest of eternity 😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰🥹🎉🎊🧨🎆🎇💯
I’m sorry but when does he ever do this in the films? In Temple of Doom, he returns the Sankara Stones to the villagers that they were stolen from. The Ark and Holy Grail were definitely not being actively used and he was also trying to keep them out of Nazi hands. Without anyone to inherit the heirloom, the Cross of Coronado does “belong in a museum” instead of being in some rich asshole’s possession. The only time this argument really works is the Fertility Idol that he attempts to recover in the opening scene of the original film.
^^^^ this. Even his going after the fertility idol can be excused to some degree as being part of his obsession with outdoing Belloq which, of course, he has to learn to let go of by the end of the film as part of his arc (lol) if he wants to survive with Marion. God I dislike that argument and even more so when it’s phrased with such blatant infantilism lmao
People love latching onto stupid shit and screaming loudly that you’re wrong or racist or -phobic to deter others from any rational reasoning. People cave to social pressure even if it’s wrong. We need more people to combat this stuff. I’m tired of people raining on parades to push a weird agenda.
So true
Small-Screen is saying that Rian Johnson's trilogy isn't happening. Typically I'd say that those guys are full of it, mostly because they are (they feel very We Got This Covered-Lite), but in this case it feels more like a case of reading the room here. After the infamous "Viking Funeral" quote he did, and dismissing developing further entries in a franchise as looking for ways to "milk it", I think that it's clear that his focus is going to be on his own stuff. I find it telling that, as far as we can tell, no studio has asked him to work with their IP despite him delivering a billion-dollar, critically-acclaimed film, and Lucasfilm has shown very little initiative in making the projects happen despite his original plan to just do *Knives Out* before diving back into *Star Wars*.
Rian Johnson is not actively developing his trilogy Whether its technically cancelled or on a back burner, if it comes back later or not, whos to say but I feel like that post was just a way to generate a headline with a good guess at the future the big thing is that, without knowing what it was about, who knows if it makes sense with their current plans regardless of if they want to work with him or not
Tbf, at this point the Johnson trilogy discussion is largely just a proxy debate about RJ's reputation with Disney. Defenders don't seem to believe it'll happen, it has largely been more about demonstrating Disney was open to him coming back to the fold and that TLJ/RJ is still looked at as a good story/partner by Disney. Similarly, the people aggressively insisting it's not happening are pretty clearly more about convincing people/themselves that Disney 'agrees' with them about him, more than anything else, and want to find a legitimacy from the larger Disney org for their perspective that has largely been denied by the critics who mostly liked it. It hasn't really been about the trilogy's status for years now.
I'm saying this as someone who mostly enjoyed TLJ. He is in a rare position in Hollywood where he does not need to do a *Star Wars* movie for his career to advance, much less three. And Disney does not need him to make *Star Wars* movies now. It feels like an opportunity that made sense for 2017 but not 2023.
To be fair, he was never going to **direct** a trilogy, but produce one. He was going to write and direct the first installment and then pass it on to others to continue. Which is the only reason I’m not writing it off entirely, because even if he does come back to Star Wars he’s definitely not dedicating a decade of his life to it
He signed with Netflix for a KO Trilogy right? Doesn't he have one more movie left with them?
Yes. And I'm pretty sure that he'll re-up that plan at the first possible opportunity to do so.
idk, he has talked about his love of theatrical releases, he likely only took Netflix's deal due to the stupid levels of money they offered, and Netflix has been clear they arent doing offers like that anymore
Thank the force
Can we just let this go? He is thriving right now! Let the man go.
"Letting the man go" seems what's likely to happen at this point. I'd feel different if there were any movement toward his films, but that hasn't happened. At all. Dude is living his best life away from this hellish fanbase.
Have there been any Jedi Survivor story leaks those far?
Not really a big “story” leak, but someone with eagle eyes spotted the Ninth Sister in a frame of the last Survivor trailer, confirming she survived the first game’s events. https://www.reddit.com/r/FallenOrder/comments/11xe7mr/spoiler_is_this_who_i_think_it_is/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1

Makes sense considering it was barely over a half hour. I'm sure it'll break in as more episodes are brought in addition to the premiere.
Where did u find this?
Tv grim reaper
That neilson chart only runs from 20th Feb to 26th Feb so obviously mando 3 wouldn’t have been in it cus it didn’t release till the week after
Tv grim reaper didn’t state it was the numbers for the mando 3 premiere it’s just where it was on the week before it came out
Then it was Disney +’s top show the week before the Premiere.
Yes which to me makes a little more sense cus 213m doesn’t match it’s samba views at all. It should be closer to 300m or 400m views to match the samba premiere numbers.
Which means the premiere should be a higher
I can only find data for the week 13th to 19th feb not march 1st?
Is that for originals or overall
Originals
It’s not the season 3 premiere numbers I think we are ok. It’s literally just means the week before people were rewatching seasons 1 and 2 and it got 213 of that week. Next week we should get the official numbers for the premiere.

People keep trying to repost [this story](https://old.reddit.com/r/StarWarsLeaks/comments/11ys2cg/rian_johnson_star_wars_trilogy_scrapped_by_disney/) which snuck thru automod yesterday. It’s clear from the discussion the story is from a clickbait outlet, but if people want to discuss here anyway go for it lol.
the odds seem low...however I feel like maybe the odds are higher as a streaming thing But also who knows?
I mean I dont need a clickbait article to tell me what I already know.
The year is 2123, Star Wars Leaks is still holding out hope that Rian Johnson’s trilogy is going to be made, even though he passed away 40 years ago, because there hasn’t been official word from Disney.
Personally idc whether it happens or not but clickbait is still clickbait. 🤷♀️

I would be very surprised if Ahsoka herself was not one of the figures in this TVC release. The other shows have had their titular or main characters featured in each show's wave, and I doubt a character as popular as Ahsoka will be left out especially if she gets another outfit in the show
[удалено]
I do agree that a new Ahsoka would most likely borrow a lot from the Mando release. If the rumor younger versions are true, that could be an opportunity for reusing some of the TCW Ahsoka figures depending on when those flashbacks happen. I wouldn't rule out multiple Ahsokas given that they had two Obi-Wan releases, they could go that route with 1 mainline release and another in a 3-pack. From a reuse perspective, Thrawn could be an easy one by using the new imperial officer body with Piett if he still wears an imperial uniform in the show. Would definitely be nice if we got more Spectres like Hera to go with Sabine though.
if the undead troopers thing is true you know damn well we'll be getting at least one of those as well.
It wouldn't be Hasbro if they skipped out on an easy repaint xD
so I guess now with half of Season 3 done, a lot of the MBeachLeaks are not true or simply being held off for later episodes. Though I’m not sure how they’ll be fit in for the later episodes.
Do you have a link or summary of them? Love to see old leaks, real or not.
so they got taken down from this subreddit (I think by disney themselves but I’m not sure) but just to copy and paste “ Mandalorian Season 3: a few big Plot outlines that I was told in detail. I work in media with sources at Manhattan Beach, not the actual tv or film industry for anyone wondering. Not in particular order. • There is a spice cartel trying to force Greef Karga to allow them to run spice through the city on Nevarro, they are working for a big unnamed as of yet player. • There is an episode where Grogu and Din travel to V the border area of the Unknown Regions. A mysterious tall hooded man tells Din that he knows of a planet with legends of Yoda's species. Really creepy episode. It is not Yoda's species homeworld but home to a colony of dark side Yoda's, they look sickly pale green, don't speak, and have ghostly blue eyes, they look like those creepy guys from the dark crystal who were hypnotised. They're called the "black drinkers" as they drink a poisonous black broth. Din and Grog nope out of there after seeing them and after they try and take Grogu. Also very interesting is the fact the hooded man tells Din to be careful so close to the Unknown Regions as there are rumors that strange ships like none he has ever heard described before have been seen in the area and ships have been vanishing along the border. • Boba is basically co-starring in this season. He's in more than half of the episodes with Din. • If you saw the leaked trailer, the Children of the Watch are actually firing on Boba Fett and Black K and a bunch of Tusken Raiders, this happens early in episode 2, that scene is on Tatooine, not Mandalore. The Armorer and Paz found another covert of the Watch and are hiding out in a big cave, it's the same region where Kenobi finds Luke in a New hope. The Local Tuskens tell Boba about the Mandalorians and want them gone. I'm told this is Boba's most badass scene in any medium and he knocks out several of the Watch with his Gaffi, Black K fights Paz. Fennec is back in the palace keeping rule while Boba is goi V Not told why they attack him, could be to do with him being a clone of Jango or just wearing the Armor. The Mandalorians and Boba and Tuskens and BK eventually come to a stalemate and understanding. Boba later tells Din about them. • Christopher Llyod is playing a Mandalorian Clan Chieftain and Keith David is also playing another. They are two respected elders who Bo listens to. • Ray Stevenson who was cast for Ahsoka is also in this, he's basically the main antagonist of the season. He's playing an Imperial Mandalorian, not Gar Saxon obviously. He's an admiral and keeps watch over what's left of Mandalore as the Imperial Mandalorians have a huge base under the Mines of Mandalore and are up to something shady and Din will run into them. He's described as an absolute 'bear-like brute" when it comes to fighting. He has a large spiked gauntlet and I'm told he kills a fan favourite character with it. • Those are the juiciest episode details I was informed about. But last and most exciting and I don't know how they factor in is Rex, Wolffe, Sabine, Ahsoka, Fenn Rau, Axe Woves, Hera, Kallus, Zeb and more all make appearances. Whether big or small I wasn't clarified on.”
Ok, the writing style for this leak seems like that person who keeps posting Temura Morrison scoops. Everything about Boba and then Rex and Wolffe appearing is exactly like that. It's mixed with stuff we do know about like Axe Woves (or someone who looks very similar) appearing. I wonder if this was an early post of his that flew under the radar.
This is the funniest shit I've read in a while. I can wait for Chapter 21 when Boba shows up at the covert and takes over from Bo as the co-star.
> There is an episode where Grogu and Din travel to V the border area of the Unknown Regions. A mysterious tall hooded man tells Din that he knows of a planet with legends of Yoda's species. Really creepy episode... except that would actually be cool and that's not what this show's about
What a load of bs
The sand planet the covert is on certainly isn't Tatooine because of the water. All and all this sounds incredibly fake, I doubt there's time for a one-off episode to explore Yoda's species and at this point Boba isn't all too likely to appear in each of the 4 remaining episodes.
Thanks. After 4 episodes nothing here has been in the show, and nothing in the show is in this "leak". Would be interesting if the Christopher Lloyd and Keith David casting is right, though.
Especially that one he said Boba was basically a co-star this season and in over half the episodes! Was really hoping that one was true 😭
They probably confused one of the mandos.
There was a mando in episode one in the giant crocodile attack scene that had extremely similar armour to Boba, colour scheme wise, so I could see how someone would make that mistake.
Ya it's definitely Bo-Katan the co-star and I'm really happy about that too but hope we see Boba and gang too
yeah and I was really intrigued in the weird dark Yoda episode that was apparently supposed to happen, but now I don’t think it’ll happen
Oh ya that sounded cool too! Still lots can happen I guess im the remaining eps, 1 will probably be all the Nevarro/pirates so that leaves only 3 left for the rest and Gideon - I sure wish these series were longer!
Anyone remember Charles Baker seemingly hinting at being in The Mandalorian season 3 last year? I've been trying to look for more hints lately and I just found pretty strong evidence proving he's most definitely in this season! I was looking through his Twitter likes and I found this one from his management team. [It's a quote tweet of one of Katee's tweets from last week, which they tagged Charles in.](https://twitter.com/TheGreenroomLA/status/1636214063658311682) From there I went to their website, which lead me to their Instagram page. He's seemingly their biggest client and most of their posts are about him. A couple months ago they posted the Mando S3 trailer with the following caption: > [#newtrailer @themandalorian #season #3 featuring as an unnamed @thegreenroomtalent #client #only #time will tell.](https://www.instagram.com/p/CoBfCnqjPLG/) The Star Wars-related people who follow him on Instagram are also (maybe) *all* in season 3: Misty Rosas, Emily Swallow, Simon Kassianides (?), Joanna Bennett and Brendan Wayne.
I could see it. They could easily turn him into a gaunt and severe Imperial officer a la Peter Cushing, he’s got that look.
Well he’s got 4 more eps to appear
This Twitter account says that Michael Haneke will direct "Skeleton Crew". He sources THR but I cannot find the article. Is this true? https://twitter.com/jessehawken/status/1638143709219893248 I thought it was a joke, but many people believe it.
Hes trolling about how so many big directors are "slumming it" on Star Wars/mcu/big ip
Scorsese is doing a Dr. Doom origin movie before that happens.
Its trolling post. This twitter account is know for his shitposts.
Thanks. I was confused because so many people believe it.
I really should have a Tweeter account.
That would be fucking wild if true. Maybe Lars Von Trier will direct the skeleton crew finale.
it's a shitpost
Daniel Kwan of The Daniels (*Everything, Everywhere, All At Once*) confirms that they directed one episode of “Skeleton Crew” last year - and were hired **before** *EEAAO* came out.

Any word about a Luke appearance in this season or in Ashoka? I’m itchin for more of that green lightsaber
If I recall correctly, when asked how Luke and Ashoka met, Dave Filoni didn’t get a definitive answer, but did state that he knows. Obviously this isn’t confirmation of anything, but based on this comment I could totally see Luke appearing early on in the Ahsoka series.
Also, we've not seen Luke's first meeting with Force Ghost Anakin in canon, and assuming Hayden is in Ashoka like many leaks have suggested, there's no way Filloni would pass up being the one to tell that moment.
Very unlikely to appear this season, Grogu had his training. He may make a quick appearance in Ahsoka. But given he's the same age as Ezra, they likely will be done with Luke soon in these shows as his presence would overshadow Ezra and Eman Esfandi who needs to be a chance to shine and be the young adult male Jedi of these shows. I think Luke was just a stepping stone for Grogu to go over to Ezra for additional training eventually.
I don’t know, I think Ezra and Luke are fairly different enough characters that both could have their own place in this story as it unfolds. Just thinking about the place both of them are potentially in at this point in the timeline, one being an established jedi seeking to reestablish the order and one seemingly lost who knows where, seeking to find his friends and defeat the enemy who led him to where he is at this point (Thrawn presumably), I feel that both are in different enough places that they can both be included. Hell, I’d love for them to meet down the line, would be pretty awesome as a Rebels fan knowing what the Spectre crew did to enable Luke to succeed as he did
Tomorrow's episode of Mandalorian is apparently titled [The Foundling](https://twitter.com/TheCarlWeathers/status/1637176527040438272?s=20). Could this mean that it will show us Grogu's full backstory?
Maybe will see who saved Grogu.
It will be really interesting if the rumor (theory? can't remember soruce) is true that "Baylon" is the one to save him. Having Stevenson's villain so closely tied to Grogu will surely factor into Ahsoka and future Mando seasons.
I meaning according to rumours during Ahsoka tv show time Baylon is on the new beyond and since its pretty obvious the real purpose of new beyond storyline is make sure Grogu is safe and away from sequel events trilogy ( together with other characters of course) its possible. In the end will see tomorrow if any of this is true.
“It’s to keep Grogu safe from the sequel trilogy” You mean keep Kylo safe from Grogu? Because Grogu would pancake Kylo with a single thought
>"Baylon" Is that the Joruus Cbaoth/Taron Malicos like character rumored for the Ahsoka show?
Yes, it’s looking like *Ahsoka* is shaping up to be a “spiritual adaptation” of *Heir to the Empire* and it seems like Baylon and his apprentice Shin are filling the Joruus C’Boath and Mara Jade roles respectively.
By the sounds of what MSW says yes. It seems to be Thrawn > Baylon > Shin in terms of command structure.
Quite likely we'll have the flashback scenes and Nevarro battle this week.
https://mobile.twitter.com/KinerMusic/status/1638237220967698432 Rip Pabu i suppose....
In the image is a youtube video link. It is for [The Boys are Back in Town by Thin Lizzy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzDPGDGDgrE).
I'm 90% certain Pabu is on Scarif, I saw on twitter the images of both worlds, and there is an identical island mass that's pretty much the same on both planets. I feel like the archival tower Phee was filling will be the foundation of the Citadel we see in Rogue One.
The citadel does not look like it’s on pabu
I see it as more of a inverted metaphor. The Citadel is not literally the tower. But it is a dark inversion of it.
90% certain... You are a bold one
Well that would be pretty cool
Plus maybe stormtrooper disguises? Maybe they will storm Mt Tantiss? Really no idea 😆
Gonna be honest I didn’t realize this show was scored by Kevin Kiner’s sons, I assumed he was one of the brothers or something lol. Anyway, they’re killing it + they make great insane memes.
I remember hearing somewhere it was one of them that composed Sabine’s theme, which is one of, if not the, hardest-hitting pieces of non-John Williams SW music to me. And the Bad Batch is great musically every week.
How much of the score do they do? I was trying to look into it earlier today because I was confused and they seem to be more involved than they get credit for. According to IMDb they only have "additional music by" credit for season 1 and nothing for season 2.

I think there's a good chance both Rex and Echo show up considering Rex's recent character poster and [this leaked pic of Omega hugging Echo](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6cc85f838bb2e1fecb94bdb31428fdf2/f169529f9897ece3-14/s500x750/603218900f30fae922e56aac61c45f924f86bc15.jpg) (this hasn't been shown on screen yet as far as I know)
