Collider have been speaking with actor Giancarlo Esposito about the upcoming The Mandalorian season three, and to raise out excitement for the new season even more, he calls the new season “off the chain!”
Anticipation for The Mandalorian Season 3 is at an all-time high with news of its March debut arriving last week. Season 2 ended on a pretty hefty cliffhanger with Grogu leaving to train to be a Jedi, while Din (Pedro Pascal) was left wielding the Darksaber, much to Bo Katan’s (Katee Sackhoff) chagrin. The Book of Boba Fett did see Din reunite with his pint-sized foundling, who decided training to be a Jedi wasn’t all that cool after all, and based on the recent trailer it looks like the clan of two will be dealing with the ramifications of Din wielding the Darksaber. Creator Jon Favreau shared at CCXP that Season 3 will have a “much bigger scope” and we couldn’t resist asking one of the show’s biggest stars about what fans can expect too. During the junket for the upcoming series Kaleidoscope, Collider’s own Steve Weintraub spoke with Giancarlo Esposito about his return as the sinister Moff Gideon, and he echoed a lot of what Favreau said about the series by saying:
“I just think that the show gets more expanded and more visually profound with each season. And I think it’s the vision of Jon Favreau and David Filoni, certainly, that begins that expansion. But it’s also all of the artisans that they trust to collaborate with them. I was blown away by that sizzle reel. All of a sudden, the world just came at you in a much more intense, and – it’s always been gratifying – but in a way that allowed you to know… You know that feeling that you have of dread or doom, or excitement personified? That’s the feeling you get because the story is all of a sudden being coalesced for you to understand elements that you didn’t know about.”
He went on to discuss how it feels to watch Season 3, saying, “I love the mythology that goes behind this show that’s incorporated into the visuals that seem to be filmic. And I love the fact that you’re able to see, with each episode this season, you’re really turning on a new movie. Visually, it’s a sight and sound extravaganza that expands you to a place that.”
The Mandalorian season 3 will be begin on Disney+ on 1st March 2023.
