Summary
Although a fourth season ofThe Mandalorianis looking less likely in favor of the plannedThe Mandalorian & Grogufeature film, there are an awful lot of possibilities about what fans could see in the next iteration of adventures featuring the two lovable characters. Whether it be a fourth season of their adventures on Disney Plus, or the grand planned potential finale of the “Mandoverse” in the film, the next installment is sure to have fireworks.
Given the plethora of surprising moments and character appearances that have occurred over the three seasons ofThe Mandalorianto date, it is likely that more shocking momentswill be happening in the nextMandalorianproject, potentially including some of these.
8A Time Jump To Start?
Give The Family Happiness For A Time
One of the best things that could be done for Din Djarin and Grogu is to let them live in peace as they are, even if that peace is destined to bebroken by some new adventure. They are set to continue bounty hunting, as Din Djarin promised the Armorer to take Grogu under his wing to learn their business, but that could wait a while, as their new home requires some living in before anything else.
Hopefully, the pair have had time to grow up together as true father and son, with a simpler caliber of adventures coming from Carson Teva. As Din explained, he was looking to work more closely with the New Republic in future jobs. A time jump is, perhaps, one of the likely things to see at the beginning of the film or fourth season.
7A Mandalorian Rite For Grogu
A Child That Stands Between Two Worlds
Since the third season finale ofThe Mandalorianpresented such a happy and peaceful ending for the lovable pair, along with Din Djarin’s vow to teach Grogu about the world of the Mandalorians. Since Grogu’s new place as the true son of Din has been accepted and established, it isn’t impossible for Grogu to eventually gethis own proper Mandalorian gear.
Whether Grogu will be old enough to take the pledge of theMandalorian, which he wasn’t in the third season finale, remains to be seen. However, armor, after all that he has done to help their people, seems like the very least that they could do for the little guy.
6Moff Gideon’s Clones Appear?
Another major moment ofThe Mandalorianseason 3 saw the pair fight offand (hopefully) slay Moff Gideon. However, the long-running villain has escaped scraps to return before, and it seems entirely possible that this could happen again. Emperor Palpatine infamously returned from a much more final death through the art of cloning, and the third season finale revealed that Gideon had been involved in experimenting with just that.
Gideon was in the midst of trying to create an army based on himself, an entire army of force-sensitive clones. Though it didn’t appear like he had begun production yet, it wouldn’t be surprising with Gideon’s history to see another version of him popping up to trouble his long-time rivals at some point.
Thrawn Could Make His Presence Known to the Galaxy Far, Far Away
There is the easy possibility that the season 3 finale really did show Mando and Grogu finishing off Moff Gideon once and for all. In this case, their next project would be the time to move on from this big bad, and it just so happens that another one is ready and waiting to face off against all the well-meaning characters in theStar WarsUniverse.
Ahsoka, who has already appeared alongside Grogu and Mando before, recently featuredGrand Admiral Thrawn’s return in her show. Since Thrawn has now managed to return to the trueStar WarsUniverse, the New Republic is likely to oppose him and this could easily see Mando & Grogu helping tackle him in some fashion.
4Grogu Unlocks Further Abilities
Teased By Sigourney Weaver, a Cast Member of The Mandalorian & Grogu Movie
One of the exciting additions to theStar Warsfamily for the upcomingThe Mandalorian & Grogufilm islong-time sci-fi icon Sigourney Weaver. Apparently being featured in some sort of authoritative role within the New Republic, Weaver made a comment recently which suggests that there will be some sort of time jump as Grogu will experience a surge in power.
With the diminutive and lovable hero already being incredibly agile, hungry, and Force-sensitive, it will be fascinating to see what kind of added strength he could get, whether his force powers will reach new levels or if it will be mainly Mandalorian-based abilities which he will have learned in the course of training alongside his new father.
3The Hutt Family’s Resurgence
Jeremy Allen White’s Plays Jabba’s Son, Rotta
The star ofThe Bear, Jeremy Allen White, has been cast in a role forThe Mandalorian & Grogumovie, and his role has been confirmed as the son of Jabba the Hutt, Rotta. This casting news has raised many questions aboutwhat role the crime family will playin the new film. Could Din Djarin work alongside the Hutt family as part of a war against Thrawn?
There are many options for what role the ancient, legendary criminals could play in this new adventure. Whatever role Allen White has in the film, it is possible that he will be a more steadily appearing character from now on in the franchise, looking for vengeance for his father’s death, a reuniting moment with Ahsoka, who once saved his life, or some other nefarious or helpful scheme to bring his family back to their former prominence across the galaxy.
2Grogu Rides The Mythosaur
A Crazy Fan Theory That Could Happen
There has been a long-running fan theory amongThe Mandalorianfan base that the Mythosaur, a devastating creature whose race once roamed Mandalore. There was an ancient prophecy on that planet that said one day a being would rise up who was capable of riding a Mythosaur. While this seemed to be a farfetched idea, even among the die-hard fan theorists, it has suddenly become much more possible.
In the season 3 finale, Bo-Katan saw a Mythosaur hidden in the depths of the Living Waters. Since the creatures have not died out, as previously thought, it could be that Bo-Katan becomes the one to finally ride a Mythosaur, a fine way to prove herself the leader that she had hoped the Darksaber would do. However, Grogu, as a new member of the Mandalorian Creed, could also be built into the hybrid warrior that tames the Mythosaur with ease.
1Sabine Wren Will Fight With Other Mandalorians
Joining Pieces Of The Faction Together
Another character whose potential presence inThe Mandalorian & Grogucould be a fascinating addition to the ranks of the Mandalorians. Sabine Wren isn’t actually in the same galaxy as the rest of the Mandalorians right now, but she and Ahsoka aren’t likely to stay stranded for long. It is likely that this pair will find a way to return and become a big part of the fight against Thrawn.
Sabine fighting alongside the other Mandalorians would be a satisfying part of her journey, and it would afford the opportunity to showcase her and Grogu both as crossing points between their two worlds. Sabine is still young enough to be a big part of the future of the galaxy far, far away and Grogu will likely be a big part of it too.
