This review contains full spoilers for episode eight of The Mandalorian Season 3, now available to watch on Disney+.
Din Djarin has been relegated to a secondary character for much of season 3 of The Mandalorian as the show focused on Bo-Katan’s quest to retake Mandalore and the struggles of the New Republic to maintain control of the Galaxy. But the titular character finally takes the spotlight again in an excellent finale that ties up the events of the last three seasons while setting the stage for new adventures to come.
“The Return” picks up right where “The Spies” left off, with the Mandalorians in dire straits following Moff Gideon’s ambush. But the episode comes to resemble the conclusion of Return of the Jedi, splitting the action across multiple fronts as the divided Mandalorian forces work together to finally defeat their greatest foe.

The emotional denouement of “The Return” is just as important as its action, with Din Djarin finally fully embracing Grogu as his son and apprentice. The finale foreshadows a return to form for the show, with the duo heading on adventures together to follow the Way of the Mandalore. But it also offers the chance to use some of the plot from the scrapped Rangers of the New Republic show, with Din Djarin serving as an independent contractor solving problems in the Outer Rim. There’s even a happy ending for the quest to repair IG-11. He still can’t protect Nevarro from a pirate invasion, but at least the planet’s not entirely helpless.
Din Djarin, Grogu and Bo-Katan shine in equal measure in the deeply satisfying finale of The Mandalorian Season 3. It’s packed with excellent fight scenes but also devotes plenty of time to the emotional aftermath, showing how much the characters have grown and laying the groundwork for the series’ future.
