Disney said in season 3, the journeys of the Mandalorian through the Star Wars galaxy continue. Once a lone bounty hunter, Din Djarin has reunited with Grogu. Meanwhile, the New Republic struggles to lead the galaxy away from its dark history. The Mandalorian will cross paths with old allies and make new enemies as he and Grogu continue their journey together.
Last year during the D23 Expo, “The Mandalorian” executive producer Jon Favreau announced that the characters would first be making appearances at Disneyland. On Monday, Disneyland Paris announced the characters would be making appearances at its park for a limited time from March 1 through 14.
Walt Disney World said the Mandalorian and Grogu will be joining other characters throughout Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and will be seen on a regular basis.
