Star Wars fans feared for Din Djarin as they awaited the finale to season 3 of The Mandalorian. Many wondered if Din Djarin, the Mandalorian’s titular character would survive or not.
*WARNING: Spoilers ahead for The Mandalorian season 3 finale*
Din Djarin, Grogu and The Mandalorian have been a part of Star Wars’ galaxy since The Mandalorian debuted on Disney+.
However, the penultimate episode of season 3 hinted at some tragic events to come as Mando was taken prisoner by Moff Gideon – but what exactly happens to Din Djarin and does he die in The Mandalorian finale?
Season 3 events hint at Mando’s death
The third season of The Mandalorian has seen a series of events which some fans have interpreted as signs that Din Djarin may be facing great danger during the last episodes.
Despite being the titular Mandalorian, Din Djarin has taken a backseat on several occasions during season 3, most notably allowing for the inclusion of Bo-Katan Kryze and a bigger role for Grogu now that he’s returned with some Jedi training under his belt.
While Mando’s seemingly smaller role in season 3 can almost certainly be attributed to Pedro Pascal’s involvement in HBO’s The Last Of Us series, some viewers have speculated that the show’s creators have been looking to make Bo-Katan or Grogu the titular Mandalorian instead of Din Djarin.
The penultimate season of The Mandalorian gave the biggest hint that Din Djarin might die. Mando had been taken hostage by Moff. Gideon, and Imperial forces.
Several theories touted the possibility that Mando could make the ultimate sacrifice in the fight against Moff Gideon – or at the very least would have his helmet removed in an act of humiliation by Giancarlo Esposito’s character.
Does Din Djarin die in The Mandalorian season 3 finale?
Din Djarin does not survive the events of The Mandalorian Season 3.
Mando, who was taken as a prisoner by the Imperial commandos, is freed and quickly sets out to stop Moff.
Din Djarin’s closest brush with death comes during the explosive battle that takes place in the finale, which sees the Mandalorians’ light cruiser get shot down and come crashing into the surface of Mandalore.
It then unleashes an enormous explosion, which kills many combatants from both sides. Most notably, however, there is speculation that the Beskar armor may have saved Moff Gideon.
Grogu saves Mando from the blaze by using the Force.
Set up for Season 4.
Jon Favreau confirmed that season 4 has already been written.
Throughout the final episodes, there were several plot threads left dangling that could well form the basis of season 4’s plot.
The first was that plants have begun to sprout on Mandalore. This suggests that Bo-Katan, their Mandalorians and others may be able to settle on this planet again and turn it into a powerful fighting force in the galaxy.
Second, in the first scene of Episode 7, Moff. Gideon is one of many Imperial warlords that are trying to come together as one. Grand Admiral Thorn, who will be reappearing in the Ahsoka TV series, could help those Imperial warlords to become a coordinated and much more powerful threat.
Mando speaks with Carson Teva about his interest in helping hunt down Imperial remains on the Outer Rim.
Season 4 may see the return of Mando & Grogu’s weekly adventures as they travel across the galaxy in search for adventure and action.
The Mandalorian, Season 3. Now you can stream the movie. Disney+ will be available on March 1, 2023.
