Katee Sackhoff and Emily Swallow, who playBo-Katan Kryzeandthe Armorerrespectively inThe Mandalorian, have addressed questions about season 4 of theStar WarsTV showin reference to Lucasfilm’s intense secrecy. Swallow has been a part ofThe Mandalorianever since season 1, and with Sackhoff officially debuting as Bo-Katan in season 2, both actors have long since been a part ofThe Mandalorian’s cast. As such, they have become quite familiar with both the secrecy surroundingStar Warsprojects and the questions that they’re often asked about them - something they have since reflected on.
On Sackhoff’s podcast,The Sackhoff Show, Swallow discussing her audition experience forThe Mandalorianinspires a conversation about the overall secrecy that has always been attached toThe Mandalorian. Sackhoff begins by saying thatshe often has to tell people, “I can’t tell you,” but that “oftentimes, I don’t know.“Sackhoff continues, “So it legitimately makes it easy to tell people I don’t know, because I don’t know, and they don’t believe me.”
Swallow reinforces this by assuring Sackhoff that “I experience that regularly. I mean, even now!” She then shares her thoughts about people often assuming thatStar Warsprojects, particularlyThe Mandalorian, are always ongoing, and that the actors are always clued in to what’s happening - although that usually isn’t the truth. As an example,Swallow brings upThe Mandalorianseason 4:
So they’ll ask me, “Are you gonna be in season 4?“I love it though, sometimes, when people are like, “Are you gonna be in season 3?” They’re just not caught up.They’ll ask me, and I say, “That’s a good question.“And then they’re like, “Yeah, and?” And I’m like, “That’s a good question. Good question.”
What The Secrecy Around The Mandalorian Means For Star Wars
They Go To Great Lengths To Protect Their Stories
It’s not overly surprising to hear just how secretiveStar Warsis about its projects, especially with ones as big asThe Mandalorian, but it is still quite fascinating to hear just how high up that secrecy goes. The fact thatnot even the actors know what’s going on half the time proves just how careful Lucasfilm intends to be with each new project. This was exemplified with Fennec Shand actor Ming-Na Wen sharing that she thought production onThe Book of Boba Fettwas actually forThe Mandalorianseason 3, and now, Swallow and Sackhoff are further proving it.
Is The Mandalorian Season 4 Really Still A Possibility?
Hope Could Still Be Alive For A New Season
Of course, while the point of Swallow and Sackhoff’s conversation here is to prove that they truly don’t know anything about whereThe Mandalorianis headed right now,the mere fact that season 4 was brought up seems to confirm thatStar Warshasn’t completely shut down the possibility of pursuing another season. It’s been assumed that the upcomingThe Mandalorian and Grogumovieis an adaptation of season 4 that would thus be replacing it, but that may not be the case. It seems as if hope forThe Mandalorianseason 4 can indeed stay alive.
