How The Obi-Wan Kenobi Series Can Set Up The Mandalorian Season 3
Disney+’s upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi could lay the foundations for The Mandalorian season 3.

Mando’s sect, The Children Of The Watch, only survived because they were sequestered on a moon of Mandalore called Concordia. The Armorer also reveals that Mand'alor Tarre Vizsla, creator of the darksaber, was both Mandalorian and Jedi.
