Summary
Though this exclusiveThe Mandalorianposter, created for the upcoming San Diego Comic Con (SDCC), is absolutely gorgeous, it accidentally highlights the biggest problem with theStar WarsTV show’s most recent installment.The Mandalorianseason 3 was highly anticipated as the follow-up toThe Mandalorianseasons 1 and 2, but when it arrived nearly 3 years later, it unfortunately failed to meet the hype for a variety of reasons. The most notable of these was the lack of focus season 3 had on its protagonists,Din Djarin(Pedro Pascal) andGrogu- something this beautiful poster highlights.
Shared byMando3Updates, this stunning poster was created by Joe Corroney for SDCC to commemorateThe Mandalorianseason 3, and it focuses on the Mand’alor with the title “Bo Katan Kryze - Between Two Worlds.” Bo-Katan is, evidently, the centerpiece as she wields the Darksaber at the heart of the composition. Along with her are a few other Mandalorians, including the Armorer, Din Djarin, Paz Vizsla, Koska Reeves, and Axe Woves. While Bo-Katan being a focus in her own artwork isn’t a problem, it does highlight what happened withThe Mandalorianseason 3 as a whole.
This poster representsThe Mandalorianseason 3 as a whole, butDin Djarin is far from being a fellow focal point, as even the Armorer has a bigger image than himself. It’s important to note that this is likely because the art is named after Bo-Katan and thus is meant to focus on her, but even then, Mando still takes a backseat to the unnamed Armorer. This clearly wasn’t the intention of the artist, who created a beautiful rendition of season 3’s story, but it does interestingly highlight this problem many viewers had with Din Djarin’s season 3 story.
The Mandalorian Movie Can Still Fix This Problem
The Mandalorian & Grogu Should Focus On Its Titular Pair Again
WhileThe MandalorianTV show’s fate is still up in the air, the upcomingThe Mandalorian & Grogumoviecould act as the vessel that delivers some much-needed justice for Din Djarin and Grogu after season 3. It was no mistake to make Bo-Katan the rightful ruler of Mandalore, and it did seem inevitable that a show titledThe Mandalorianwould have to go to Mandalore eventually. Unfortunately, season 3 took its title too generally, andit wandered away from the original spirit of the TV show: a lone gunfighter honing in on his skills to protect his child.
The Mandalorian & Grogu, however, now has the chance to put Din Djarin and Grogu back in the forefront. The beloved father-son duo will have plenty to attend to as under-the-table contractors for theNew Republic, especially now thatGrand Admiral Thrawnhas returned to theStar Warsgalaxy with the intent of re-establishing the Galactic Empire. So long as this movie doesn’t lose sight of its beloved characters, then there’s a big chance thatThe Mandalorianas a whole will be seen in a better light once again.
