Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu have once again won hearts, as they reunited with the rest of the Mandalorians, including the MVP of the season, Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff).

Jon Favreau recently opened up about how long the series could run for, telling EW's Star Wars podcast: "I don't know what would make me not enjoy doing it, especially as long as the audience is connecting with these characters.

"This feels like a really enjoyable moment. And I love this format of telling one chapter at a time and keeping the audience guessing, but also fulfilling certain expectations."

As the third season reaches its half-way mark, here's everything you need to know about when the next instalment, episode 5, is released.
