“The Mandalorian” Season 3 Will Be Biggest Yet, Season 4 Already Written
In the strict, honor and duty-bound codes of the Mandalorians, one of the gravest sins you can commit is removing your helmet. We know that’s precisely what Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) did when he bid farewell to Grogu in season 2. It was an unthinkable breach, yet it movingly spoke to the connection Din Djarin and the foundling had forged over their dangerous adventures. In season 3, Din will be doing his best to make ammends for this all-too-human failure as he reunites with Grogu and heads back to his home planet of Mandalore.
Jedis Unite in New Season 3 Teaser for “The Mandalorian”

Especially considering our heroic bounty hunter will attempt to right the wrongs of his past.
