Season 3 of The Mandalorian has already crossed its halfway mark and is now nearing its end. This installment of the hit series will have eight episodes and fans can't wait to see what they have in store for them.


Recap of episode 4

In the previous episode 4, viewers saw that during a Mandalorian training session, a giant raptor swooped down and took away one of the Tribe’s Foundlings. Following the incident, Mando, Paz Vizsla, and Bo-Katan led a rescue party to the raptor’s lair, where they found its babies and took them back to the covert.

In other news, Grogu, watching the Armorer work, prompted a flashback to Order 66, and fans saw him being taken away from Coruscant by a Jedi, Kelleran Beq. The Armorer also replaced one of Bo-Katan’s spaulders with a fresh one depicting the iconic Mythosaur skull, a creature they had probably sighted earlier.


About the plot of episode 5

In season 3 episode 5, which has been titled Chapter 21: The Foundling, we will see the lone bounty hunter and Grogu continue their journey through the Star Wars galaxy. Meanwhile, the New Republic is struggling to lead the galaxy away from its dark history.
