Katee Sackhoff Could be the Highlight of The Mandalorian Season 3
After voicing the legendary Mandalorian, Bo-Katan Kryze, for a decade, Katee Sackhoff got the opportunity to portray the character in the 2019 Disney+ series, The Mandalorian. She has been portraying the character for the last two seasons and is also set to reprise her role in the next season of the space adventure series.
During her interview with Empire Online, she shared her experience working on season 3. The Oculus star also shared how Jon Favreau and Rick Famuyiwa helped her to put the best version of Bo-Katan Kryze on screen.
She talked about Kryze’s character development following the events of The Mandalorian season 2. Sackhoff said, “We know the family that she was born into; now what’s the family that she’s going to choose? What does that look like?”
The cover page of Empire Magazine also features Katee Sackhoff alongside, Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin, which also seems to hint at a showdown between the two. It is also assumed that season 3 could focus on Bo-Katan Kryze, instead of following Din Djarin throughout the series.

Katee Sackhoff Talks About Working With Jon Favreau
Katee Sackhoff also talked about working with actor-director Jon Favreau and Rick Famuyiwa. The Don’t Knock Twice star shared how she contributed to Bo-Katan Kryze’s character development in the upcoming season of the show.
She shared that portraying the character for so long has helped her to connect with her, and she is able to feel what Bo-Katan Kryze feels. And the creators of the show have been really helpful in doing so.
“One of the things that Jon and I focus on is where she is in the moment, what peppers her experience. Jon and [director/executive producer] Rick [Famuyiwa], every single day, defer to me, which is a really crazy experience, to have these masters asking me what I feel.”
Sackhoff also said, “It respects the craft and the years that I have put in. I really do know her — her pain is my pain. When she experiences something, I really feel it.” The new season of The Mandalorian is also expected to introduce a number of new characters and the lead star, Pedro Pascal has also teased a big epic battle in the upcoming season.
The Mandalorian Season 3 will premiere on Disney+ on 1 March 2023.
