The Mandalorian Rides Again in Season 3

Season three of The Mandalorian, starring Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin, has been in the works for awhile, and after an incredible reveal at the end of season two and some cameo appearances in The Book of Boba Fett, we’re finally getting a few hints at what to expect from the newest season of the Emmy award-winning Star Wars show.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t much—just that season three exists, it’ll premiere next February, and that Katee Sackhoff’s Bo-Katan will be returning. This almost certainly means more Mandalore shenanigans, as last time we saw Bo-Katan she was decidedly unhappy that Din Dijarin had won her ancestral weapon, the Darksaber, that would have legitimized her claim as the ruler of the planet.

Thanks to The Book of Boba Fett, we know he and his surrogate son Grogu—aka Baby Yoda—are back together, and rocketing off into space onboard Mando’s retro N-1 Galactic-Era Naboo starfighter. We’ll presumably see how much Mando’s Darksaber skills have advanced, as well as what Force-skills Grogu might have picked up under his brief education with Luke Skywalker, and whether he’s got any control over that temper of his.

Currently, Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future) has been cast in season three. During the Mandalorian portion of the Lucasfilm panel, Sackhoff confirmed that her character Bo-Katan would be making a return, teasing that she “may have some unfinished business.”

The Mandalorian’s third season will hit Disney+ in February 2023. Peep the new poster below, once again featuring our beloved Din and Grogu.

In episode nine, “Childrick of Mort,” Rick fought a god when they both fell for the same woman. Er, planet. That moment doesn’t make our list, but it’s still a damn good one. Screenshot: Adult Swim It’s still hard to believe—after so many lengthy delays between previous seasons —that season five of Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty is almost upon us. While we count down the moments until the Emmy-winning series returns on June 20, we thought we’d also look back on season four, highlighting 14 of our favorite and most memorable moments (in no particular order... though we do have one very top favorite, as you’ll see) involving mostly Rick and Morty—but also Summer, Beth, Jerry, and Rick and Morty ’s creatively deployed guest stars too. “Why can you talk?” Screenshot: Adult Swim The A-plot of episode four, “Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim’s Morty,” follows the adventures of Rick, Morty, and Summer as they attempt to rescue Morty’s “slut dragon,” Balthromaw, from an evil wizard. ...

Loki: Chris Hemsworth Records New Lines for Throg Role

Chris Hemsworth is Thor Image: Marvel Believe it or not, Chris Hemsworth appears in the latest episode of Loki. Well, his voice does. The Kate Herron directed-episode titled Journey into Mystery , takes place in a location at the end of time created by the Time Variance Authority called The Void. It’s in this void that viewers see Throg (a version of Thor in Frog form from Earth-97161) trapped inside a bottle deep underground as he tries to break out to reach his Mjolnir. When Herron was on the ForAllNerds podcast last Friday, she revealed that Chris Hemsworth is the voice of Throg. You don’t hear the Frog say any dialogue, but the scream it lets out is by Hemsworth . Herron had him record new lines and sounds strictly for the show, and she kept it a well-hidden secret. “Throg, getting him in [was fun],” Herron said on the podcast. “We recorded Chris Hemsworth for that, by the way. I haven’t told anyone that yet, by the way, but we recorded him for that, so that’s a new record...
