Mando and Grogu are a clan of two in The Mandalorian S3

Disney is holding its annual D23 Expo this weekend, and that usually means tons of teasers, trailers, casting information, and entertaining cameo appearances. The streaming platform’s Star Wars offerings this 12 months incorporated our initially appear at the 3rd period of The Mandalorian, as perfectly as a remaining trailer for the minimal sequence, Andor,  and a trailer for a new animated anthology sequence, Tales of the Jedi.

(Spoilers down below.)

We’ve been pining for the new adventures of Grogu and his Mandalorian area daddy (Pedro Pascal) due to the fact their heartfelt reunion in the finale of The Book of Boba Fett—aka The Mandalorian season 2.5. (Din Djarin experienced despatched Grogu off for Jedi coaching with Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), but the bond amongst the two proved far additional highly effective. Sniff.) The teaser revisits some of the highlights of the S1 and S2 adventures of this “clan of two,” ahead of offering us a glimpse of what is actually to appear.

Remember that Din broke Mandalorian protocol by using off his helmet two times: the moment to help you save Grogu, and at the time to bid the cute eco-friendly newborn Jedi farewell. That did not go down nicely with his men and women, particularly Katie Sackhoff’s Bo Katan and the Armourer (Emily Swallow), who insists, “You are a Mandalorian no additional.” Bo Katan covets the Darksaber that Din won by defeating Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) in battle, which technically makes him the ruler of Mandalore.

Din looks far a lot more fascinated in bopping around the galaxy with Grogu than sitting on a throne, while he’s eager to get back into Mandalorian excellent graces. But I question he’s as eager to give up the Darksaber. The political intrigue and simmering stress advised right here ought to retain points attention-grabbing. We also get a glimpse of a flourishing Greef Carga (Carl Weathers) and Peli Motto (Amy Sedaris), who presents Mando with a new R2 unit for his Naboo starfighter. And of class, there are plenty of battles and fancy spacecraft maneuvers.

The 3rd time of The Mandalorian will debut on Disney+ in February 2023.

Andor

Meanwhile, the premiere of Andor is just two weeks away. As we have reported formerly, the story commences with the Empire’s destruction of Cassian Andor’s (Diego Luna) homeworld and will depict his transformation from a “revolution-averse” cynic to a significant participant in the nascent rebel who is keen to sacrifice himself to conserve the galaxy.

The ensemble cast also contains Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma, a senator of the Republic who assisted observed the Rebel Alliance, as very well as Forest Whitaker reprising his Rogue A single function as Clone Wars veteran Saw Gerrera. Stellan Skarsgård (as Luthen) and Adria Arjona co-star as the resistance fighters who recruit Andor to the result in. Kyle Soller, Denise Gough, Fiona Shaw, Robert Emms, and David Hayman have all been forged in undisclosed roles.

We got our first glance at the sequence with a behind-the-scenes teaser in December 2020 all through Disney’s Traders Day. We bought a limited teaser previously this calendar year at Star Wars Celebration, and a full trailer just last thirty day period. Luna was on hand to introduce the closing trailer, which functions some neat new footage. We also realized the collection will have a “spy thriller” vibe, loaded with “threat, deception, and intrigue” all those elements do look to dominate this final trailer. And apparently every three episodes, the timeline will leap forward.

The very first a few episodes of Andor premiere on Disney+ on September 21, 2022. The remaining 9 episodes will air weekly, concluding on November 23, 2022. A 2nd 12-episode period will purportedly direct directly into the activities of Rogue A person.

The Last Jedi

Initial the poor information: if you’re a fan of the Star Wars animated series The Bad Batch, the next season’s release has been delayed from September 28, 2022, to January 4, 2023. But you will find also very good information: Disney+ will debut a new animated anthology series, The Last Jedi, in its totally on October 26, 2022. The streaming system dropped the formal trailer all through the D23 Expo.

The Final Jedi is in the similar vein as 2021’s Star Wars Visions, one more anthology collection comprised of seven animated shorts, every established by a distinct Japanese anime studio. Produced by Dave Filoni and Charles Murray, each of the 6 15-moment episodes will function a fan-most loved Jedi. Some get spot just before the Clone Wars, even though many others are established a long time ahead of.  For instance, it seems to be like we’ll be having Ahsoka Tano’s origin story in a single episode, when a further will aim on Depend Dooku, both of those aspect of the grasp line connected to Qui-on Jinn. And sure, Liam Lesson will be voicing the latter.
