Potential Villains for The Mandalorian & Grogu Movie
The announcement of The Mandalorian & Grogu this week raises a bunch of interesting questions about just why this is the next chapter of the titular heroes’ tale. But one of the most interesting is when it’s coming.
The end of season three saw Din undo the machinations of his greatest foil on The Mandalorian, and the biggest threat to his point in the Star Wars timeline is being saved for another. So… who’s the bad guy in his movie?
The death of Moff Gideon, and Grand Admiral Thrawn’s impending arrival after Ahsoka’s first season—to be dealt with, presumably, in Dave Filoni’s still-incoming Imperial Remnant vs. New Republic film—leave Din without a clear antagonist for his sudden feature film. That doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to set that particular story up in The Mandalorian & Grogu, but that also doesn’t mean there aren’t other opportunities to explore different foils for the clan of two.
We’ve gathered a few potential ideas, some silly, some serious, some out-there, some less so—but all ones that could make for an interesting antagonist as The Mandalorian heads to the silver screen. Well, at least we like to think so.
