How to Watch The Mandalorian Finale
[Warning: This story contains spoilers for The Mandalorian "Chapter 23: The Spies."] Is the end of The Mandalorian season 3 the end of the Mandalorians? The season's penultimate chapter, "The Spies," saw Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) emerge from the shadows as Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) led Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and their tribes of Mandalorians to the Great Forge on a mission to retake their home world of Mandalore. But in Star Wars fashion, it was a trap: Gideon ambushed the helmeted warriors with his clandestine army of next-generation Dark Troopers armored with beskar alloy, taking Din captive before Paz Vizsla (Tait Fletcher) died making the last stand against a trio of elite red-armored Praetorian guards.
The season ends with Wednesday's episode of The Mandalorian, "Chapter 24," revealing the fate of the Mandalorians forced to retreat as Gideon ordered his interceptors and bombers to wipe out the Mandalorian fleet and complete the Great Purge of Mandalore.

Where Does The Mandalorian Fit in the Star Wars Timeline?
The Mandalorian takes place five years after the fall of the Empire in Return of the Jedi, during the New Republic era of the official Star Wars timeline. Other series set within The Mandalorian timeline — The Book of Boba Fett and the upcoming Disney+ Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew shows — are happening concurrently and will culminate in director Dave Filoni's cinematic event Star Wars movie about "the escalating war between the Imperials and the fledging New Republic."
