Katee Sackhoff is celebrating the end of the SAG-AFTRA actors' strike in the best possible way. The Star Wars actor has shared an endearing behind-the-scenes photo from The Mandalorian Season 3. In addition to that, Sackhoff also hinted at her return as Bo-Katan Kryze for The Mandalorian Season 4!
With the strikes coming to an end, the cast of The Mandalorian is now free to share insights about their work on the show. Recently, Sackhoff took to her official Instagram account and posted a heartwarming photo of herself and her daughter during the filming of Season 3. She expressed missing her child while travelling and also revealed her anticipation of donning Bo-Katan's attire once more.
Sackhoff has had a lot of practice in playing Bo-Katan Kryze. Initially voicing the character in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, she made her live-action Star Wars debut in The Mandalorian Season 2. However, it was in Season 3 that her role was elevated to series regular status, frequently appearing alongside Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin. So will she return in the fourth season?
Will Bo-Katan return in The Mandalorian Season 4?
Despite Moff Gideon's defeat and the return of Mandalore to its native people, it might have been expected that The Mandalorian Season 4 would veer away from revisiting the planet, focusing instead on Din Djarin's new adventures as a Ranger of the New Republic. However, Sackhoff's apparent involvement in Season 4 suggests a return to Mandalore, where Bo-Katan Kryze likely seeks to rebuild the Mandalorian society on the once-devastated world.
The specific role Bo-Katan and Mandalore will play in The Mandalorian Season 4 remains to be unveiled. Nonetheless, considering the Mandalorians' reputation as formidable warriors with a grudge against the Empire, it's probable that the Imperial Remnant will view their growing strength with trepidation. Moreover, their resurgence could pose a threat to the recently reemerged Grand Admiral Thrawn and his sinister machinations, prompting the cunning tactician to undermine Mandalore's influence before its people become a formidable adversary.
The Mandalorian Season 4 is currently in development but has not yet announced a production start date. In the meantime, all episodes from the first three seasons are available for streaming on Disney+.
