The Mandalorian series is the best piece of fiction the Star Wars franchise has come out with in many rains. We all know that after The Force Awakens, the George Lucas franchise has been astray. The Last Jedi from Rian Johnson had fans split as some liked the Luke Skywalker twist while some outright hated it. I think the consensus was hate. However, The Rise of Skywalker didn’t have a fans split, as everyone agreed that this was one of the worst ends for a trilogy. The underwhelming response and box office performance of the film made Lucasfilm rethink their plan for the Star Wars films. Ever since then, we’ve not gotten a Star Wars film and that is a good thing. However, Lucasfilm is definitely concentrating a lot on the TV front of Star Wars. The first show in that was The Mandalorian which appeased both fans and critics alike.
The show was created by Jon Favreau and he also serves as the showrunner. The Baby Yoda that features in the show became an internet sensation when it debuted. After a very successful first season which had great story and characters, the show returned for a second season and somehow got better in quality than even the first season. It has been a longtime since the third season was announced and we’re desperately waiting for it. Thankfully, the release date of the same is in the next ten days. However, before we even see the third season, has Favreau already written the fourth season?
The Mandalorian Season 4 Already Happening?
John Favreau recently made an appearance on the French entertainment news program BFMTV INSIDE in order to promote the upcoming season three of The Mandalorian. On the news program, Favreau clued us in about the future plans of the franchise and where they stand with Season 4 of his flagship Star Wars series. The showrunner said, “Season 4? Yea, I’ve written it already. We have to know where we are going to tell a fully formed story. So, we had mapped it out, Dave [Filoni] and I. And then slowly you just write each episode. So I was writing it during post-production, because all of it has to feel like a continuation and one full story.”
He further lamented about he has to keep in mind everything to build a cohesive narrative and also take into consideration of other shows like Ashoka and Skeleton while creating their greater Mando-verse, “And then he’s doing ‘Ahsoka’, which I’m production with him, but he’s the writer and showrunner on that. And so, to understand what’s happening on other shows or even ‘Skeleton Crew’, they all take place in the same Star Wars time period. So, there’s alot more things that we have to keep in mind and stuff that we’ve built up to from previous seasons of ‘The Mandalorian’ as well.”
This update from the showrunner goes along with various updates that we’ve gotten about the fourth season. The filming is set to begin in October 2023 with the search for prop teams and pre-production crew being underway now. The Mandalorian stars Pedro Pascal, Giancarlo Esposito, Carl Weathers, Gina Carano, Dave Filoni, Rosario Dawson, Ming-Na Wen, Taika Waititi and David Accord. Season 1 & 2 of the series is available for streaming on Disney+. Season 3 of The Mandalorian will be available for streaming on Disney+ from 1st March 2023, each new episode would release every week.
