It\u2019s finally time for the adventures to continue in The Mandalorian<\/a> season 3, but a lot<\/em> has happened since season 2.<\/p>\n

The second instalment of the Disney Plus show<\/a>, helmed by Jon Favreau and starring Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin<\/a>, saw Mando on a mission to protect Grogu, AKA Baby Yoda<\/a>, and reunite him with his kind.<\/p>\n

Be careful what you wish for, though. The end of season 2 saw the appearance of Luke Skywalker<\/a>, with Djarin and Grogu having to say a quick goodbye. Grogu was then whisked away to begin his Jedi training.<\/p>\n

But the pair weren\u2019t destined to be separated for long and soon reunited \u2014 only that happened in an entirely different show, The Book of Boba Fett<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Mandalorian season 3 will now pick up with Djarin and Grogu after their reunion, but for fans who didn\u2019t catch Boba Fett, or got a little lost along the way, it can all seem pretty confusing.<\/p>\n

Never fear! We\u2019ve got a full recap on what happened to Djarin and Grogu in The Mandalorian season 2 and The Book of Boba Fett so you\u2019re all prepared for season 3.<\/p>

What happened in The Mandalorian season 2?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Mandalorian season 2 followed Djarin on his mission to protect Grogu and return him to his people: the Jedi.<\/p>\n

Djarin\u2019s first port of call is his fellow Mandalorians \u2014 he just has to find them first. He takes on a couple of missions in return for information about his people.<\/p>\n

On his way to an inn to find out more he is ambushed, but thankfully he gets saved by his fellow Mandalorians, led by Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff). She has information on the Jedi but needs Djarin\u2019s help on a particularly dangerous mission, seizing weapons from an Imperial freighter.<\/p>\n

Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) instructs the captain to crash the ship, but Bo-Katan is able to stop him and tells Djarin to meet Ahsoka Tano<\/a> (Rosario Dawson) in the city of Calodan on the forest planet of Corvus.<\/p>\n

By this point, Djarin\u2019s Razor Crest is pretty much out of action so he heads to Navarro where he meets his old pals Cara Dune\u00a0 (Gina Carano) and Greef Karga (Carl Weathers). The trio destroy a remaining Imperial base, which they then discover has been used to conduct experiments with Grogu\u2019s blood.<\/p>\n

While Djarin and Grogu manage to escape from the ensuing stormtroopers and leave for Corvus, they don\u2019t realise an Imperial spy has planted a tracker on the Razor Crest.<\/p>\n

They finally make it to Corvus, and Djarin is approached by the city\u2019s magistrate, Morgan Elsbeth (Diana Lee Inosanto), who offers him a spear of beskar steel to kill Ahsoka. Obviously Djarin doesn\u2019t kill Ahsoka, instead meeting her outside the town and asking her to train Grogu.<\/p>\n

She agrees if he helps her to overthrow Elsbeth, but then tells him she cannot teach Grogu due to his attachment to Djarin. She does, however, take them to a temple where Grogu can use the Force and decide for himself.<\/p>\n

Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison)\u00a0and Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen)\u00a0rock up, as do Moff Gideon and his Dark Troopers. Despite the best efforts of Boba, Fennec and Djarin, Gideon captures Grogu. The trio manage to make it out alive and Djarin warns Gideon he\u2019s coming for him.<\/p>\n

With the help of Cara Dune, Bo-Katan and Koska Reeves (Mercedes Varnado), Djarin makes it onto Gideon\u2019s cruiser. He ejects the Dark Troopers into space and, after a battle with Gideon, becomes the rightful owner of the Darksaber. The Dark Troopers return to the ship but they\u2019re defeated by a mysterious figure, who turns out to be Luke Skywalker.<\/p>\n

Djarin says his goodbyes before Grogu departs with Skywalker to complete his training.<\/p>\n
