‘The Mandalorian’ Will Honor the Late Carl Weathers with Special Behind-the-Scenes Featurette

As a hardcore Star Wars fan who has followed the saga since its inception, I cannot help but express my deep admiration for The Mandalorian series. Its commitment to maintaining the essence of the original lore while introducing fresh and captivating characters like Greef Karga is nothing short of impressive.

Without a shadow of a doubt, “The Mandalorian” stands out as the top-notch “Star Wars” series that’s been unveiled thus far. This captivating series, masterminded by Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, has garnered worldwide acclaim for its compelling narrative, brilliant character choices, and unwavering commitment to the original mythos. At present, the series is on a hiatus, with an upcoming sequel movie in the pipeline.

In the show, Mando and Grogu are the principal characters, but one standout supporting character was Greef Karga. His progression throughout the series showcased exceptional character growth. Regrettably, we won’t see Greef in the upcoming sequels as Carl Weathers, the actor portraying him, tragically passed away on February 2, 2024.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve got to share some exciting news about Karga from The Mandalorian. There’s a possibility he might be recast, but it seems like Lucasfilm isn’t planning anything along those lines. Here’s why: They recently unveiled a special featurette focusing on Carl Weathers, which will be included in the upcoming home media releases of the series. So, it looks like Karga is taking a backseat for now, but who knows what the future holds in this galaxy far, far away!

Since its debut in 2019, The Mandalorian has already seen three seasons. The initial two seasons were made available on Ultra HD Blu-ray and regular Blu-ray on December 12, 2023. These editions came with Steelbook casing, artwork cards, and exclusive bonus content that hadn’t been seen before. Following suit, the Ultra HD Blu-ray for Season 3 will be out tomorrow, specifically on December 3, 2024.

Included in the home version’s bonus content are three offerings: “Carl Weathers’ Respect: A Tribute”, “The Galactic Inheritance: The Creatures and Droids of The Mandalorian”, and “Covert Construction: Part Three”.

You’ll find that the home release of the third season includes a dedicated featurette focusing on Carl Weathers, and fortunately, Collider has shared this video, which is accessible on their website for your viewing pleasure.

Absolutely, by acquiring the home versions, I’ll be able to savor every bonus clip they’ve got tucked away, a treat that any dedicated fan like me won’t want to miss!

Fans have been eagerly anticipating this particular release for quite some time now, as they’ve long hoped Disney would make their streaming series available for home viewing. With the news that this is indeed happening, it’s easy to see why there’s so much joy and excitement surrounding the upcoming launch.

Regarding the series’ continuation, it has been planned for a movie titled “The Mandalorian and Grogu” to hit theaters on May 22, 2026. However, no news about a fourth season has surfaced yet, so we remain uncertain whether more episodes or another movie will follow. All we know is that there’s definitely more story to tell; we just don’t know in what format it will be presented.
