A new set photo from The Mandalorian season 3 reveals the return of Bo-Katan Kryze's right-hand man. The upcoming season of the hit Disney+ Star Wars series has been highly anticipated ever since its sophomore season concluded in December 2020. The hype has only continued to build since Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) made his return in The Book of Boba Fett episode 5, which added even more depth to Din's upcoming season 3 journey.
With Grogu in Luke Skywalker's care, viewers expected to see Din either go back to bounty hunting for a while or turn to Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff) to help in their efforts to retake Mandalore. After he won the Darksaber from Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) in combat and was unable to hand it over to Bo-Katan, a journey to Mandalore seemed inevitable for Din. His appearance in The Book of Boba Fett saw him returning to bounty hunting solely to seek information about the location of his tribe, which only consisted of the Armorer (Emily Swallow) and Paz Vizsla. There, Din learned more information about the fall of Mandalore, the Night of a Thousand Tears, and the Darksaber itself. After Din was banished from the tribe for removing his helmet and told he could only earn atonement in the "living waters beneath the mines of Mandalore," his path seemed to be confirmed towards Mandalore.
