The spin off Star Wars Andor was a huge hit for Disney. The series has been acclaimed by critics and fans alike. After such a performance, the expectations for future projects are naturally high. Already at 1st March The third season of The Mandalorian is set to come out. Fans could already get a first impression in some trailers. A new leak now suggests that there is a real chance that the Supreme Leader Snoke could have an appearance in The Mandalorian.
Why is Snoke returning in The Mandalorian Season 3?
The website Making Star Wars has released more info on season three of The Mandalorian. Among other things, it is claimed that the Elite Praetorian Guard will be featured in Season 3. Already last year it was suspected that the Guard was the antagonist Moff Gideon would stand aside in battle. However, the main task of this guard unit is to protect the Supreme Leader of the First Order, smoke. A task that she performs extremely conscientiously in episodes 7 and 8.
So the appearance of the Praetorians is a strong indication that Snoke could be in season three. In addition, Making Star Wars is known that the actor of the supreme leader, Andy Serkis, called to the set by Andor for motion capture work during filming was and that, although the series did not contain any motion capture scenes. But is it even possible that Snoke can appear in The Mandalorian? The answer reveals a look at the timeline of the Star Wars universe.
When does The Mandorian season 3 play?
Play seasons 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian circa nine years after the Battle of Yavin (9ABY). Thus, the series is set nine years after Episode 4: A New Hope and plays almost 30 years before Episode 7: The Force Awakens. However, the new republic has not yet been established in the series. Snoke, who is something of a clone, is supposed to at least twelve years before the Battle of Yavin (12BBY) have been created. So it’s possible that he’s already alive at this point.
However, the emergence of the Praetorian Guard is a pure rumour, which has not yet been officially confirmed by Disney. So we have to wait until the 3rd season of The Mandalorian on the 1st of March exclusively from the streaming provider Disney Plus will start. The eight episodes are then expected to appear on a weekly basis.
