Here’s how Gina Carano’s character will be dealt with in ‘The Mandalorian’ season three

Amber Dowling It took 42 years, but Mel Brooks is finally making good on a parody of a promise he never seemed likely to keep: Bringing “History of the World, Part II” to audiences far and wide. The filmmaker addresses that elephant in the room within the opening minutes of the new, eight-part Hulu series, admitting that he agreed to the project under two conditions — that there could be no repeat gags, and that he be made to look exactly like he did in the 1981 original film. The show winks at both of those conditions by the end of the first episode, setting the tone for any unaware viewers that were expecting historical insight or veracity on world events.

Emily Longeretta There may only be one more season of “Andor” to go, but it sounds like it’s exactly what audiences are hoping for. Diego Luna, who’s currently filming the final season of the Disney+ series in London, opened up about the experience on Friday at the Miami Film Festival, where he accepted the inaugural Variety Virtuoso Award. “It’s been bittersweet because every day I know I’m a day closer to the end,” Luna said. “It was really nice to approach a series knowing there’s an ending. It doesn’t happen! The new conversation on set with streaming is people talking about the possible future. … Like, ‘Well, there might be a second season or a third season. This thing of leaving everything open I think is bringing anxiety to actors that needs to be treated. We’re all thinking about something that we can’t know.”

The Mandalorian has teased more “surprises” in the third season.The Star Wars spin-off debuted the first episode of season three on Wednesday (March 1), which picks up after Grogu and Din Djarin, aka The Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal), reunited in fellow spin-off The Book Of Boba Fett.It also comes after the show’s season two finale, where Mark Hamill made a surprise appearance as Luke Skywalker in digitally de-aged form.Speaking to the Radio Times, Rick Famuyiwa, who directed the season three premiere, was asked whether anything in the third season will match Luke’s return.“There’s always something to look forward to, there’s always surprises,” Famuyiwa replied.“I think the show, at its heart, is still just about this relationship between Mando and Grogu, and that’s still the focus and still going to be the centre of it, but in that journey and in that exploration and in what Mando does, we’re obviously going to expand.”He added: “As you start to see things and his world starts to expand, we’ve had some interesting surprises and guests that have come along the way up to this point and so there’s always going to be new places to go and surprises ahead.”Along with Pascal, Giancarlo Esposito, Carl Weathers, Katee Sackhoff, Emily Swallow, and Amy Sedaris reprise their roles in the third season.

From the beginning, the main criticism on Lucasfilm’s “The Mandalorian,” a show about Mandalorian Bounty Hunter, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), and the little Baby Yoda creature he’s been tasked with protecting, Grogu, was that the series was very episodic. After coming into contact with Grogu and becoming his ward in a fascinating “Lone Wolf and Cub”-like dynamic, that initially felt fresh and like a strange “Star Wars” Western, “The Mandalorian” quickly settled into a familiar pattern.

Deadline. "At the same time, what has been at the heart of the show are the two characters Din Djarin and Grogu."He added, "It's a big galaxy, and we have many characters in it — many characters are fighting for their screen time.

Executive producers Dave Filoni and Rick Famuyiwa have spoken out about the future of Gina Carano‘s character, Cara Dune, on The Mandalorian as the Star Wars spinoff returns with season 3. In an interview with Deadline, the two acknowledged that the character still very much exists in the larger universe but that the series is focused on two characters: Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu.

is back with season 3, executive producers Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni and Rick Famuyiwa are opening about the decisions made in episodes involving Grogu and how that will affect the incredibly Force-sensitive being moving forward. To quickly recap the events of episodes five through seven -- which many have dubbed season 2.5 -- Grogu started his Jedi training with Luke Skywalker when he received a gift from Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal). This ultimately distracted him from the training at hand, with Skywalker eventually making him choose between a future as a Jedi or life on the road with his former steward. In the end, Grogu chose the bounty hunter — a decision that goes against what both Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) thought was best for him — and the two reunited before setting off into the galaxy on their next mission.

The Mandalorian are sceptical about a timeline retcon revealed by series creator Jon Favreau.Earlier this week Favreau confirmed that the events in seasons one and two of the Star Wars live action spinoff series take place over “many years”. He said that Grogu (“Baby Yoda”) trained with Luke Skywalker for “two years” until being reunited with Din Djarin in fellow Disney+ Star Wars spinoff The Book Of Boba Fett.Favreau’s comments made on the Skytalkers podcast have surprised fans online, with many having reservations about the retroactive continuity.One fan wrote in the podcast’s YouTube comments section: “So after two years of training with Luke, Baby Yoda still can’t jump? And don’t give me that ‘he’s practically a toddler’ crap, his command of the force and cognitive alertness far exceed anything a young sentient life form could pull off.

Rick Famuyiwa, director and executive producer of The Mandalorian, was at the Season 3 premiere of the Disney+ series and teased the upcoming season.

The Mandalorian returns for another round of adventures in a galaxy far, far away this month.The show’s third season picks up after events of fellow Star Wars spin-off The Book Of Boba Fett, where Grogu departed Tatooine with Din Djarin aka The Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) after helping to tame a loose Rancor in Mos Espa.A synopsis for the third season reads: ‘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,” Cara Dune, will still be part of the Disney+ series.The 40-year-old actress and former MMA fighter was fired from the show in 2021 after several problematic posts, including one that compared the Nazi murders of the Jewish population to “hating someone for their political views.”Rick Famuyiwa, the series executive producer and director, confirmed to Deadline on Monday that Dune will remain in the series. The show returns with Season 3 on Wednesday.“Cara was a big part and continues as a character to be part of the world.

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer In the Season 2 finale of “The Mandalorian” — which first streamed on Disney+ on Dec. 18, 2020, over two years ago — Mando (Pedro Pascal) bid a moving farewell to Grogu, handing over his adorably wee ward to Grogu’s new Jedi master, Luke Skywalker (played by a digitally de-aged Mark Hamill). The wrenching final scene culminated in Mando removing his helmet — violating the core precept of Mandalorian doctrine — so Grogu could see his face for the first time. It felt like the definitive end of a two-season journey, one painstakingly crafted by executive producers Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni to reset the show and send it into a new storytelling galaxy. As the trailers for Season 3 of “The Mandalorian” have already made clear, however, the new season will begin on March 1 with Mando and Grogu back together. It’s almost as if the events of the Season 2 finale hadn’t happened.

Gina Carano’s fate is being revealed.

With social media being so omnipresent and actors having the means of directly communicating with fans, there’s always the risk that an actor will say something racist, sexist, homophobic, or just plain stupid for the world to see. And when that happens, studios just have to hope the actor in question isn’t currently part of their projects.

EXCLUSIVE: With The Mandalorian season 3 dropping this Wednesday, and our hero Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) headed to the Mandalorian home planet of Mandalore with dark saber in hand, how will the show deal with the departure of Gina Carano’s fan fave bounty hunter character Cara Dune?

Gemini author and academic Jack Zipes maintains, “Fairy tales since the beginning of recorded time, and perhaps earlier, have been a means to conquer the terrors of mankind through metaphor.”National Tell a Fairytale Day on February 26 celebrates our grand tradition of subjugating horrors into happily ever after.Many of the tales we know and venerate today are credited to Aesop, a Greek slave and storyteller who used oral tradition to create ethical guidelines for his fellow man.
