 The Mandalorian Primer: 

What you need to know before Season 3 debuts 




 Get ready for another epic season of galactic adventures from everyone’s favorite space duo—bounty hunter Din Djarin and Grogu, a foundling with a strong connection to the Force—in the highly awaited third season of The Mandalorian, coming to Disney+ on March 1, 2023. 

 

The past two seasons have garnered critical acclaim and are enjoyed by new and long-time Star Wars fans alike. As the New Republic struggles to keep the peace together, The Mandalorian must meet with old allies and face new enemies while he and Grogu explore the galaxy.

 

Before the new season starts, here are some things you need to know to get up to speed. 


The story so far

 


The Mandalorian meets the Child 



The first season of The Mandalorian begins with the story of the titular character (Din Djarin), a space bounty hunter who takes on contracts to kill or capture targets. He is tasked to hunt down The Child/Grogu, a mysterious youngling. Upon meeting The Child, The Mandalorian decides to go on the run and not honor the contract. This leads to a journey that becomes a fight for survival as they try to take down The Client, the man responsible for putting up the contract. 

 


Empire loyalist Moff Gideon

 

This ends with them making an enemy out of Moff Gideon, who was a part of the Galactic Empire that once ruled the galaxy. The Mandalorian and the Child then formed a new clan as they set off on a journey to learn more about the latter’s true origins.

 


Luke Skywalker returns to save Grogu

 

In the second season, Grogu  is abducted by the enemy. This leads to a dramatic rescue and a fight between Din Djarin and Moff Gideon, which ends with Djarin getting a weapon called the Darksaber and saving Grogu. The end of the second season saw Grogu wanting to train to become a Jedi. He then bids Din Djarin goodbye in an emotional farewell.  

 

 Grogu’s origin and powers

 


Ahsoka Tano meets Grogu

 

Grogu is one of the show’s biggest stars. We learned more about his abilities and origin story in the second season. His name was revealed by Ahsoka Tano, along with his past as a Jedi in training. We also see Grogu become more comfortable using his powers and abilities, even helping Din Djarin during fights. They include telepathy, telekinesis, healing wounds, calming beasts, and even masking his own abilities to protect himself.

 

While the second season shared more information about Grogu’s origins, the mystery of who rescued him when he was younger remains. 

 

Who will claim the Darksaber?

 


Din Djarin is the current holder of the Darksaber

 

A legendary weapon from Din Djarin’s home planet of Mandalore, its holder can claim the right to rule the planet. Realizing the power that this weapon holds, he has the choice to stake his claim. However, Bo-Katan, one of his trusted allies, is Mandalore's rightful heir and needs the Darksaber 

 

New adventures await Din Djarin and Grogu in The Mandalorian Season 3, catch them  on Disney+ on March 1, 2023.

Get to Know Ant-Man, The Wasp, Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne Ahead of Seeing “Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania” in Theaters Now



“Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania” launches Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but before diving into the Quantum Realm, fans can catch up with Marvel Super Heroes Ant-Man (Scott Lang), The Wasp (Hope Van Dyne), Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne with three episodes of the Disney+ Original Series “Marvel Studios LEGENDS,” now available for the first time on Marvel YouTube.

Launched in 2021, the Disney+ Original Series “Marvel Studios LEGENDS” explores and celebrates the epic heroes and villains of the MCU, and the moments that made them. All 29 episodes of “Marvel Studios LEGENDS” are streaming now on Disney+.

Episodes available on YouTube: 

 


Episode 1: Ant-Man



LEGENDS traces those moments big and small that transformed Scott Lang into the tiniest of Earth’s mightiest heroes. Scott faces off against powerful adversaries, meets the love of his life and becomes the dad he was destined to be. Oh, and it’s Ant-Man who winds up providing the key to defeating Thanos and saving the universe. He’s kind of a huge deal. 



Episode 2: The Wasp

All her life, Hope was shielded from the action by her overprotective father, inventor Hank Pym. But when the Pym Particles fell into the wrong hands, Hope reluctantly trained a thief named Scott Lang to become Ant-Man. In time, Hope donned a suit and wings herself, and was transformed into The Wasp. LEGENDS follows Hope’s journey, one that leads to her fighting alongside the Avengers.


 



Episode 3: Hank & Janet


Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne were the original Ant-Man and The Wasp, but after an epic show of bravery, Janet was lost forever… or so Hank thought. LEGENDS chronicles Hank’s journey, as he goes from dedicated scientist to overprotective father. Eventually, with the help of burglar-turned-hero Scott Lang, Hank and his daughter rescued Janet from the Quantum Realm, and the remarkable family was reunited.

Watch now on YouTube or Disney+, and don’t miss “Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania” in theaters now.

Super Heroes Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) return to continue their adventures as Ant-Man and The Wasp.
