Season 3 of The Mandalorian has been going strong, even if the show has failed to grab the cultural zeitgeist of the previous installments. The series confused some fans with its abrupt tonal shift in episode 3, and the change of pace has some wondering if the perceived shift is due to a now-defunct Star Wars series, Rangers of the New Republic.
The show was set to follow Gina Carano’s character, Cara Dune, as she recruited disenfranchised fighters from across the galaxy to create a found family to help snuff out what remained of the Empire. It was rumored to include a number of other fan favorites ranging from Cobb Vance (Timothy Olyphant) to Migs Mayfield (Bill Burr). While no scripts were finished for the series, speculations have still painted a decent picture of the world we could have seen. It’s been said that the Rangers storyline was set to pull a Netflix style meet-up — just as the streaming service did with Marvel heroes like Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones teaming up in The Defenders. Star Wars aimed to have The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and Rangers culminate in a crossover event for the ages, perhaps on that showed the heroes facing off against the fan favorite villain, Grand Admiral Thrawn.
