The journey continues. The Mandalorian is preparing to expand the world previously introduced in the first two seasons of the Disney+ series.
The Star Wars show, which premiered in November 2019, follows the adventures of Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal). The Mandalorian bounty hunter faced major challenges while on the run and trying to protect Force-sensitive Grogu (a.k.a. Baby Yoda) from the Empire.
In season 2, The Mandalorian shocked viewers with plenty of cliffhangers and questions about what will be explored next. Although Din reunited with Grogu, he was ultimately cast out of his tribe after he revealed that he removed his helmet which went against the Mandalorians religious belief.
Ahead of the show’s return, Giancarlo Esposito discussed how the space Western will continue to push boundaries.
“I just think that the show gets more expanded and more visually profound with each season. And I think it’s the vision of [showrunner] Jon Favreau and [executive producer] Dave Filoni that begins that expansion, but it’s also all of the artisans that they trust to collaborate with them,” the actor — who portrays Empire leader Moff Gideon — told Collider in December 2022. “You know that feeling that you have of dread or doom or excitement personified? That’s the feeling you get because the story is all of the sudden being coalesced for you to understand all of the elements that you didn’t know about.”
Esposito noted that he was excited to see where the series would take fans next. “I love [that] the mythology that goes behind this show is incorporated into all of the visuals that seem to be filmic. And I love the fact that you’re able to see, with each episode this season, you’re really turning on a new movie,” he added. “Visually,

In a nutshell the brilliantly hilarious, pertinent, and wickedly smart new movie, You People is in some ways a new age Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner, that landmark 1967 Tracy-Hepburn-Poitier Oscar winning comedy about the effect an interracial relationship has on the parents of the young couple. Of course back then it was a major social issue and even had trouble booking some southern theatres. The idea was switched in a Bernie Mac/Ashton Kutcher 2005 remake that all those years later did not have the same impact. With anti-semitism and racism back on the rise in 2023 America however the concept of an interracial/interfaith marriage, Black and White, Jew and Muslim, could not be more timely or needed, and in co-star Jonah Hill’s and director Kenya Barris’ whipsmart screenplay is also a knock-you-out-of- your-seat laugh riot. Ironically I saw it this week at its World Premiere at the same Westwood Village theatre where I saw Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner all those years ago. With a packed house the laughter was so continuous and loud for You People it was hard to hear a lot of the lines. When was the last time that happened?
