Pedro Pascal's omnipresence continues on Wednesday, March 1, when the "The Mandalorian" returns to Disney+ for its third season of "Star Wars" adventures. Something that casual fans may have missed: Mando and Grogu (aka Baby Yoda) appeared in three episodes of last year's "The Book of Boba Fett" -- and those episodes are essential to understanding the story as Season 3 begins.
That Boba Fett show, starring Temuera Morrison in the title role, was underwhelming overall, but episodes 5-7 are classic hours of "Star Wars" -- and bring back some familiar faces, Jedi or otherwise. Check them out on Disney+ before the big premiere.
Want a free preview? The very first episode of "The Mandalorian," which originally streamed in 2019, will air on television for the first time at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 24, on ABC 7 Chicago. (Cable partners FX and Freeform will show it at the same time.)
Chris Evans is scheduled to appear at all three days of C2E2 at Chicago's McCormick Place this spring.
