It’s back! And while the wait hasn’t quite seemed so long since The Book of Boba Fett essentially morphed into The Mandalorian Season 2.5 without warning, it’s still nice to see Mando and Grogu back on our screens. With a redemption arc, reams of fan service to play with, and more appetite than ever for small-screen Star Wars after recent successes, the latest season of The Mandalorian has all the potential of a being another mega-hit for the House of Mouse.
Here’s what happened in The Mandalorian Season 3, Episode 7:
- Elia Kane met with Moff Gideon to explain that Nevarro was saved by united Mandalorians. Gideon was behind the removal of Pershing and the attempted occupation of Nevarro by Gorian Shard and his pirates.
- Gideon takes this news to an Imperial Shadow Council who’re working on Project Necromancer and awaiting the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn. They agree to give Gideon resources to help him stop the Mandalorians from retaking Mandalore.
- Bo-Katan leads Mando and the united tribes back to Mandalore in order to secure the Great Forge. While there, they’re ambushed by Moff Gideon and a squad of Imperial troopers with beskar steel armor and jetpacks.
- Mando was captured.
- Paz Vizsla sacrificed himself and was ultimately killed by three Praetorian guards to buy the others time to escape.

Predictions
While there is (predictably) no official synopsis, we can nonetheless make some logical assumptions about where things may go in the future:
- The first item on the to-do list will presumably be rescuing Mando from Imperial captivity.
- We can probably expect a Thrawn cameo just to set things up for Ahsoka.
- It seems like Project Necromancer is intimately tied to the resurrection of Palpatine and the work Dr. Hemlock is doing on Mount Tantiss in The Bad Batch. You can expect the Imperial side of the story to continue developing these elements together.
I Hope to see a Jedi ! We need a kick ass, take no names HERO.
OR any good guys that want to lend a hand. Mando is courageous and will die proudly, if need be.
