Grand Admiral Thrawn Might Be The Greatest Threat In 'The Mandalorian' Season 3
The Mandalorian season 2 might have come to an end, but there is still at least another chapter left in our titular hero's adventures. We watched our stoic hero say goodbye to everyone's smallest friend in the finale, as that friend walked off with a certain notable Jedi Master. With this, Din Djarin said goodbye to his quest from the first two seasons. Now we need a new story to tell, and there are a lot of rumors as to which it might be. A common one was actually referenced in "Chapter 13: The Jedi": Grand Admiral Thrawn.

No One Hates Star Wars Quite Like Star Wars Fans
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.... No other sentence seems to inspire as much devotion as those which have flashed up on movie and television screens since the 1977 premiere of Star Wars (which was only retrospectively retitled as Episode IV - A New Hope in 1981). Yet as intense as the Star Wars fandom's love affair is with George Lucas's ground-breaking space opera, the scenes which would come to follow those words in the years which followed did no always meet the expectations of some of the fandom's most passionate and outspoken members.

New Spaceships Revealed From 'Star Wars: The High Republic'
One of the first mantras that George Lucas gave to his design team (starting with Ralph McQuarrie) was that everything in Star Wars had to look used and ordinary, and nothing should stand out. Even the spaceships, the Death Star, and weapons of the Empire, though not looking used and “trashy,” had to have a minimalistic, functional design. This approach stood in a rather sharp contrast to the sci-fi movies that had come before, where everything had to look extraordinary, shiny, and “spacey.”

Director Robert Rodriguez Jamming Out On Set With Baby Yoda
When it comes to Star Wars in 2021, nothing is more popular than The Mandalorian and the freshly-separated duo of Din Djarin and Grogu. More commonly referred to as Mando and Baby Yoda, these two have captured the hearts, attention, and dollars of the entire fandom. It appears that not even directors with a penchant for onscreen blood and violence are immune to Grogu's adorable snare. While directing the sixth episode of season 2, Robert Rodriguez and Grogu had a moment to connect, jam, and tweet out the video, which can be seen below. With Grogu perched on the Seeing Stone and Rodriguez playing guitar, the video sent out by Rodriguez is one of the best things to come out of 2020. Its clear that Baby Yoda was feeling the vibe of Rodriguez's guitar playing as he bobs his head and twitches his ears to the beat. This clip can also be seen in Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, the behind-the-scenes documentary that debuted on Disney+ on Christmas Day, in addition to many other clips of Rodriguez's strumming in the directors chair.
