Show notes
I wrote a very fan service / fun alternate (loose) ending to the Mandalorian season 3. Hope you smirk at it and LMK what you think!
At the end of mando season 2, Grogu leaves with luke skywalker and r2d2...only to return to Din after a couple episodes of him with Luke in the book of boba fett show.
I think what would have worked better, was if grogu stayed with luke, and when the time of the mandalorian season finale came, Grogu felt something wrong with Din in the force, once he was captured by Moff Gideon, as the events played out the way they would have basically, just without grogu there, Luke grogu and R2 get in the X-wing and fly over to Mandalore as per Grogu’s wishes.
He has been training with luke for 2 years now as jon favreau said, so he’s much stronger and in tuned with the force, so he feels Din is in trouble. They head to Mandalore, break Din out, until they come across the hall of Clones. It’s Din, Grogu, and Luke, as Bo Katan fights the storm troopers in beskar with the other Mandalorians, siege of mandalore style.
The clones aren’t moff gideon, but rather Clones of Darth Maul, as we find out that Moff Gideon is a Darth Maul loyalist...i mean, if we can’t figure it out from the clues all throughout the show, the horns and double bladed staff are a dead giveaway.
So all these force sensitive darth mauls come alive, and luke has to fight them. This would be a major nod to George Lucas’ original plans for the sequel trilogy he was creating and had written treatments for before Disney did their own thing, thinking they know better. Where he had Luke train new jedi for his jedi order and Darth Maul would return to train his apprentice Darth Talon.
While Luke fights Maul, Mando helps Bo Katan fight Moff and Praetorian and it’s an all out war while Mandalorians fly overhead with the stormtroopers and newly upgraded dark troopers with them. I’d have loved to see some bounty hunters as well working for the empire flying in there to make it real difficult for the mandalorians.
This is where Boba, Fennec and Black Krrsantan show up to blast em in the Slave 1. Dropping seismic charges where applicable and blasting off out of his ship with his jet pack to join the war.
While the Mythosaur gets angry at all the seismic charges being dropped and rises to absolutely destroy the area around them. Grogu and Luke use their powers to tame the beast for the moment, and Bo rides it, becoming the supreme ruler of Mandalore as the enemies are defeated. Super fan fictiony. Super fan service, but ultimately, more exciting than what we got.
Oh and the dark saber isn’t destroyed.
Mandalore is back to where it was before the Empire’s purge.
Grogu back with Din.
Luke goes to meet Han and Leia and introduced to Ben Solo, nodding to his journey as we will see him later.
Boba in Slave 1 with crew off on an adventure.
Bo Katan lights the torch and leads Mandalore
Everyone off to their own story, to be met up with again in Dave Filoni's movie (and the Ahsoka show coming up)
