As someone who was unfamiliar with the expanded universe<\/strong> of Star Wars (although years before they made a clean slate), I remember that when I went to see ‘The Force Awakens’ by JJ Abrams I left the cinema feeling that I was missing something to explain to me where had that First Order come from<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Almost four years after the end of the Rey trilogy, I am finally getting clear on how everything came about, thanks to the good work of Dave Filoni<\/strong>. And it is that this season 3 of ‘The Mandalorian’ seems to be clear that, in addition to telling the resurgence of the Mandalorians, it takes place at a key moment for the future of the George Lucas galaxy.<\/p>\n

To fill gaps with quality material<\/h2>\n

chapter by chapter they are leaving us crumbs, references<\/strong> or, directly, plots that are completely linked to the rebirth of the Empire. It’s not strange either<\/strong>. As someone commented in the recap of ‘The Spies’, the spectacular seventh episode of this season of ‘The Mandalorian’, Dave Filoni has spent two decades filling in the gaps and enhancing plots and things that have been somewhat overlooked by the movies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It started with ‘The Clone Wars’, situated between ‘Attack of the Clones’ and ‘Revenge of the Sith’; continued with ‘Rebels’, set before the original ‘Star Wars’ and, now with the Disney+ machinery behind it -with collaborators such as Jon Favreau-, is filling the gap between the first and third trilogy<\/strong> with ‘The Mandalorian’, ‘The Book of Boba-Fett’, ‘Ahsoka’ and the future film that will cap it all.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But let’s focus on the series starring Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin. From the beginning we had Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) a major villain<\/strong>. He was responsible not only for the Great Purge of Mandalore, but also for the capture of “The Boy”, our Grogu, with the aim of using him for the genetic experiments of the Mandalore. Dr Pershing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The purpose of those experiments, or of Pershing’s secret investigation and Gideon’s interest in it, was left a bit up in the air, until this season 3. It is this year that theories seem to take shape<\/strong> in which, in addition, we begin to learn more about the New Republic in ‘The Convert’. In that episode we see that Elia Kane tricks the scientist to recover the portable laboratory and continue his experiments, prohibited by the current government.<\/p>\n
