‘The Mandalorian’ Season 3: Pedro Pascal and Katee Sackhoff Tease Epic Adventures Ahead
The Mandalorian season 3 is the focus of the forthcoming issue of Empire Magazine, as the publication revealed recently. As part of their coverage, they are doing a 20-page write-up on the series that includes new images, concept art, and interviews with the cast and crew, among others.
With the new issue hitting the stands on Thursday, February 16, the magazine has published an excerpt from their interview with Pedro Pascal (Din Djarin) and Katee Sackhoff (Bo-Katan), as well as a new image (see above). Said Pascal about the scope of the new season:
“What I love most about Season 3 is how much the world opens up in terms of Mandalore and Mandalorians. That means so many different facets of culture, politics, and rules and discoveries. Delicious doors are flying wide open.”
Sackhoff added the following:
“[I was] texting Jon and Dave, ‘Are you serious?’ This is an epic season – it’s so big and so bold and so different. We know the family that she was born into; now what’s the family that she’s going to choose? What does that look like?”
As previewed in the trailer, both of their characters will have a lot to say to one another about the Darksaber, the Mandalorian culture, and even Grogu. Season 2 and everything we’ve seen so far from season 3 have set up Bo-Katan as one of the main antagonists in the new episodes, especially as we wait to see Giancarlo Esposito’s Moff Gideon again — we know the actor is still part of the show, and he’s supposed to be a major player in the new adventure, but we haven’t really seen anything from him yet.
In other cool news from Empire and The Mandalorian, the magazine has also announced that VIP members will have the chance to attend a special in-person screening of an episode of The Mandalorian, followed by a Q&A with showrunner Jon Favreau, run by Chris Hewitt. To decide which episode they will be showing, they have set up a Twitter poll that includes Chapter 8 (“Redemption”), Chapter 13 (“The Jedi”), and Chapter 16 (“The Rescue”). It will take place in London on February 22.
To celebrate #TheMandalorian Season 3 debuting on Disney + on 1 March, Empire’s Chris Hewitt will be joined by showrunner Jon Favreau for an extended Q&A interview.

Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as movies from Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
