Summary
Bo-Katan Kryzeactor andThe Mandalorianstar Katee Sackhoff has long since been expected to return inThe Mandalorian & Grogu,Star Wars’next movie, and she may have just subtly hinted that this will indeed be the case. After making her live-action debut as the belovedStar Wars: The Clone Warscharacter, Sackhoff was given a much bigger role inThe Mandalorianseason 3, with Bo-Katan experiencing a redemption arc that ultimately leads to her becoming theMand’aloronce more. Now that a movie based onThe Mandalorianis coming, it’s been expected that she will be included.
Everything We Know About The Mandalorian & Grogu Movie
The Mandalorian’s story will continue with a Star Wars movie. Here’s everything we know about the project, including cast, release, and timeline.
While Sackhoff isn’t at a point where she can confirm this, she has at least provided a response that could contain a subtle hint to the fact that Bo-Katan will return. Speaking toComicBook.com, Sackhoff responds to the question of her casting inThe Mandalorian & Groguby hilariously stating that"if I knew I wouldn’t tell you," and “if I did tell you, they’d probably kill me.“While this certainly speaks to the secrecy Lucasfilm maintains around projects as much as this movie, and Sackhoff does a good job maintaining the secrecy, this response is still noteworthy.
Previousactors fromThe Mandalorianwho have been asked this same question, such as Emily Swallow (The Armorer) and Giancarlo Esposito (Moff Gideon), have all offered a much different response than this. Typically, they insist that they have yet to receive a call forThe Mandalorian & Grogu, before they express their enthusiasm at the idea of being included should it happen. Sackhoff circumvents that altogether by taking an approach that’s more mysterious than an outright “no.”
Bo-Katan Kryze
The sister of Satine Kryze, Bo-Katan allied with extremist factions of Mandalore - unwittingly dividing her people, creating opportunities for the Separatists and Darth Maul. Bo-Katan spent much of her life seeking redemption, attempting to unite the Mandalorians against the Empire, but ultimately surrendered to Moff Gideon in an attempt to save her people from a genocidal Imperial attack. In The Mandalorian era, Bo-Katan has successfully reclaimed Mandalore and become the new Man’dalore - her people’s chosen ruler.

Bo-Katan Just Has To Be In The Mandalorian Movie
As Mandalore’s Current Leader, She Has to Play Even a Small Part
It’s hard to imagine a scenario in which Sackhoff’s Bo-Katan isn’t included inThe Mandalorian & Grogu, which means this response certainly hasn’t given away anything viewers weren’t already expecting. Sackhoff does a good job following Lucasfilm’s guide to secrecy, but also providing eager audiences with hope that her Mandalorian leader will be a part of this story in some capacity. While it’s not expected to focus on her as much asThe Mandalorianseason 3 did,there’s still a lot of room for her to be an important figure in this film.
Little is still known about the movie’s plot, but based onThe Mandalorianseason 3’s endingand newThe Mandalorian & Grogumovie footageshown at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, it can be assumed that this movie will mostly followDin DjarinandGrogucompleting bounty hunting jobs to fight back against theImperial Remnant. Though the pair lives on Nevarro and works out of Adelphi, they still have many allies present on Mandalore - such as Bo-Katan herself. Should they need the Mandalorians' help inThe Mandalorian & Grogu, there’s no doubt Sackhoff’s Bo-Katan will answer their call.
