Summary
The world ofStar Warsis ever-changing, and it seems more filled with characters than fans would have expected several years ago. Between the classic film characters and the animated shows, the universe is constantly expanding, and this makes it easy to miss some fascinating cameos and appearances of figures that fans might not even necessarily remember.
A possible fourth season ofThe Mandalorianis rife with speculation. Between the upcoming film and other projects, fans don’t know when they might see more of their favoriteStar Warspairing on Disney Plus. They can assume, though, that if Mando and Grogu return to their series, it will be alongside a host of other names and faces. Here are someStar Warscharacters who may appear in Season 4 ofThe Mandalorianif it happens.
8Grand Admiral Thrawn
TheStar Warsshows on Disney Plus have generally focused on a similar era (with a couple of exceptions) between the fall of the Empire and the newer film trilogy. While Grand Moff Gideon has taken on a major villainous role across all three seasons ofThe Mandalorianto date, this is less likely to continuenow that Grand Admiral Thrawn re-entered the pictureinAhsoka.
Thrawn’s return in live-action form means that there are fewStar Warsprojects set within the timeframe ofAhsokathat won’t be dealing with him. His return is all part of building to a grand finale for the current slate of shows, and Season 4 ofThe MandalorianSeason 4 would likely continue to deal with the fallout he is destined to cause.
7Snoke
When Will The First Order Begin To Rise?
Although there hasn’t been a lot of connection between the recent Disney Plus projects and the sequel trilogy that the galaxy is heading toward, it does have to happen sooner or later. With a time jump likely occurring before a potential fourth season ofThe Mandalorian, fans could expect to start seeing more signs of the impending First Order at some point, and a cameo or appearance by Snoke would set this up perfectly.
Althoughthe sequel trilogy films and Snoke himself were a divisive part of the franchise,Star Warsneeds to send characters like The Mandalorian and Ahsoka in that direction at some point, if only so fans know whether they survive the events of that next galactic war. Snoke’s character could use more fleshing out, and the way he raised such a massive force needs to be studied at some point, especially if Mando is working for the New Republic.
6Boba Fett
A Return To Tatooine?
AlthoughThe Book of Boba Fettdidn’t work out as well as fans were hoping, the lead character is set up as a leader on Tatooine, a planet that theStar Warsfranchise is unable to keep away from for long.Boba Fett returning in a futureMandalorianseasoncould be a good means of showing what happened next for him, particularly if the next season was to be set after a time jump.
Boba is the sort of warrior who Din Djarin and Grogu will turn to if Thrawn is threatening the galaxy on a large scale. As a leader, Fett seems to be both compassionate and capable enough of raising forces to stand directly in the path of Thrawn, and, obviously, he will have no qualms about siding with Din Djarin and other Mandalorians in this fight, even if some of them might question his wearing of the armor.
5Bo-Katan Kryze
What’s Next For Mandalore?
Although Din and Grogu have settled elsewhere than on Mandalore itself,The Mandalorianstill has questions to answer regarding the mysterious location. Bo-Katan may no longer wield the Darksaber, but her sighting of a Mythosaur in the Living Waters makes it almost a certainty that she and Mandalore will be revisited soon.
Bo-Katan has already had a fascinating journeythroughout theStar Warssaga, and it clearly isn’t finished yet. While the action of a futureMandalorianseason may not bring them to the birthplace of the Mandalorians frequently, this story will need to be resolved at some point.
4Hera Syndulla
The Leader Of Adelphi Base?
AlthoughHera Syndulla is a character more likely to appear alongside Ahsokain more upcoming projects, the crossover between these characters is going to be a major part of theStar Warsuniverse over the next few years. This means that a character like Hera, who is a higher-up in the New Republic, could easily appear in a fourth season ofThe Mandalorian.
Now that Din Djarin is working alongside the New Republic and Carson Teva, he is a part of Adelphi Base. It has been rumored that Hera as a leader in the New Republic could appear at some point to help characters like Din Djarin. However, with Sigourney Weaver appearing in a leadership role within the New Republic in the upcoming film, it is possible that she could be the main face giving out missions to the lovable pair.
3Sabine Wren
The Other Mandalorian/Jedi Crossover
Sabine Wren is a fascinating character who is very similar to Grogu in some ways. She is the only other current Mandalorian-raised child with force-sensitive abilities. As such, the two would likely become fast friends if they were ever to meet.
Though Sabine is currently trapped far outside the mainStar Warsgalaxy alongside Ahsoka, the pair could easily meet with Din and Grogu as part of the ongoing conflict against Thrawn. Other factors that make this likely are the established relationship between Ahsoka and both Din and Grogu and the fact that all of these characters are linked to both the Mandalorians and the New Republic. This gives them a huge number of potential meeting places if Sabine makes it back to the right galaxy.
2Ezra Bridger
A Hero In Need Of Help
The fight against Thrawn, which Din and Grogu may become embroiled in at some point, will likely feature Ezra Bridger.This young hero was stranded out beyond the starswith Thrawn for years, but he has managed to return to the right galaxy alongside the devious villain.
Although Ezra has never met Din or Grogu, the connection between Grogu and him as two of the last remaining Jedi could help bring them together in a fourthMandalorianseason. All quadrants of the galaxy will unite to stand against Thrawn, and Ezra will likely begin by seeking help from Hera and other New Republic fighters, and this now includes Din and Grogu.
1Leia Organa
An Unlikely Story That Needs To Be Told
Although Carrie Fisher has passed on, CGI has brought characters back from the dead in theStar Warsfranchise on multiple occasions. A major piece of Leia’s history involves how she went from a politician and leader within the New Republic after the Empire fell to being a member and leader of the Resistance instead.
While it isn’t knownif this part of Leia’s history will ever see the screen, Luke’s de-aged appearance in Season 2 ofThe Mandalorianmakes it possible for major characters such as her to return. This could light the internet on fire and give a fourthMandalorianseason a real surprise boost.
