Summary

• Mandalorian season 3 sets up the future of Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin and introduces new theories for the show.
• The theory that Grogu is the titular Mandalorian has merits, but it would be a mistake for the creators to go forward with it, as it would strip Din Djarin of his Mandalorian identity and diminish his character growth.
• Grogu has many more years left to live in the galaxy, thus his own Mandalorian story can be told later on, when Din Djarin's has finished.

The Mandalorian season 3 has perpetuated one popular theory that, if true, would be a big mistake. The Mandalorian season 3 isn't quite as up to par with the show’s previous seasons in the eyes of Star Wars viewers, but it does a lot of leg work to set up the future of Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin, the Mandalorian people, and the galaxy in general. The Mandalorian season 3 ends with Din Djarin and Grogu finding a new home on Nevarro and Djarin helping the New Republic keep the galaxy safe, setting up The Mandalorian season 4 - and introducing many new theories for the show.
Between the reveal of the Imperial Shadow Council and Moff Gideon’s Force-sensitive clones, there's a lot to unpack in The Mandalorian season 3. Many theories for The Mandalorian moving forward have to do with the reveal of the Mythosaur, who is alive and well dwelling in the Living Waters under Mandalore. Mandalorian lore puts taming and riding the Mythosaur in high regard, and it was speculated throughout The Mandalorian season 3 who would eventually ride the creature. Most options have come down to Din Djarin, Grogu, or Bo-Katan Kryze, who was the one who had seen the Mythosaur in person - and one particular long-running theory also focuses on one of these options in a way that could change the show's legacy.
