The Mandalorian Season 3 Ending Explained
The Mandalorian season 3 has come to an end with an action-packed finale, complete with more than a few surprise twists and teases for the future.
An Instagram post byKassianides(viaMando3Updates) shows him “getting fit for a role” in a meaningful caption about fatherhood and fitness, which has instantly sparked curiosity from avidThe Mandalorianenthusiasts. With production onThe Mandalorian & Grogureportedly starting this summer, many have wondered in his comments if this role he’s referring to is Axe Woves.One comment inquiring directly about Axe has been liked by Kassianides, which only further teases the very real potential of Axe returning toStar WarsinThe Mandalorian & Grogu.
Axe Woves' Return Could Mean Mandalore’s Return
Will Din Djarin & Grogu Help Their Homeworld Again?
If Kassianides' teasing on social media pays off and Axe Woves does return inThe Mandalorian & Grogu, then this could have major implications for the storyline, particularly where Mandalore is concerned. With Din Djarin and Grogu set on a new path, working under-the-table for the New Republic while living in peaceful solitude on Nevarro, a strong focus on Mandalore doesn’t naturally seem to be in the cards for them. As a trusted advisor of Bo-Katan’s on Mandalore, however, Axe’s return would challenge this idea, and would likely give Mandalore a strong role in this movie.
Mandalore’s role in the upcoming movie could be a way of properly marrying Din Djarin’s story with Mandalore’s own.
The inclusion of Mandalore doesn’t have to mean that Din Djarin and Grogu will be cast aside. Though this is generally what happened inThe Mandalorianseason 3, Mandalore’s role in the upcoming movie could be a way of properly marrying Din Djarin’s story with Mandalore’s own. Especially now that Din Djarin is associating himself further withthe New Republic, it could even be thathe becomes the liaison between Mandalore and the galaxy’s central government, which would make him an extremely key figurein this overarching story.
Whatever the case, it’s still thrilling to think about Axe Woves' potential return, as well as a return to Mandalore. It was never hard to guess that Mandalore would be featured in some way in this movie, given how important the planet is to this group that has since become one ofStar Wars’most beloved and popular. There would never be a pass on the opportunity to showcase Mandalore on the big screen, and Kassianides' Axe making a potential return would only guarantee the planet’s appearance inThe Mandalorian & Grogumovie.
