Mandalorian S3 Opens With Ahsoka Talking Din Through A Few Things In Boba’s Palace, And Offering To

Mandalorian S3 opens with Ahsoka talking Din through a few things in Boba’s palace, and offering to help him keep in contact with Grogu, she can get him Luke’s comm and maybe talk to Ezra and Sabine, if he’d like, there are options, it’s–

The door is kicked open. It’s Rex. He looks old as shit. Wolffe is with him. He also looks old as shit. They are accompanied by Ezra and Sabine, who look slightly exhausted from managing elderly clones. They ignore all the blasters aimed at them, other than to tell Boba to knock it off, because Rex and Wolffe have ori'vod privileges. Boba demands to know what the hell they’re doing in his house. Bo-Katan is taking a drink and ignoring everyone because she is not willing to put up with these specific people. Fennec is fascinated. Rex yells for everyone to shut up, because he’s got news, specifically for Ahsoka and also probably Bo-Katan.

Bo wants to know what the hell kind of news he could have that she’d care about. Ahsoka throws a glass at her without looking.

(They’re friends. Mostly.)

“Gear up,” Rex tells Bo, and then turns to Ahsoka. “Yeah, so, Maul’s back.”

Ahsoka gives it a moment, and then drops her head back and groans.

“Are you shitting me?”

“Nope.”

“How many times has he died, now? Obi-Wan’s ghost promised he was dead for real this time.”

“I don’t know, Ahsoka. I just… it’s Maul. He doesn’t stay dead. He’s back, and causing problems. Mostly for the imperial remnants, but…”

Boba looks constipated, because he does in fact know who this is. Bo-Katan is ready to commit a murder, even at her age. Ahsoka’s tired. Sabine and Ezra look like they want to beg for her help in keeping Rex and Wolffe from dealing with this themselves. Fennec is aware of who this person is, enough to know that most of Mandalore hates him. Everyone is tense.

Din quietly, slowly, tentatively raises his hand.

“Who’s Maul?”
