10 Clues We've Spotted In The Mandalorian Season 3 Trailer
6. R5-D4 Joins Din
Speaking of Mando's relationship with droids, it looks as though another notable astromech you may recognise from the early stages of A New Hope is set to be assisting the leading light during Season Three.
This little guy is none other than R5-D4, the droid Luke Skywalker felt had a bad motivator. And after being somehow acquired by Peli Motto during the New Republic era, it now seems that the one-time exploding head will be joining Djarin and Grogu on their missions going forward.
The shot of R5 taking his place as the navigator droid for Mando's N1 Naboo Starfighter also evidently takes place on Tatooine. So, perhaps a rather famous beskar-sporting Daimyo will stop by for a brief chat with his Mandalorian pal before he blasts off to reconnect with his people.
R5-D4 also appears in a few other shots over the course of the footage, rocking up on what looks like Nevarro alongside Mando and Grogu and possibly even rolling on into the droid bar seen elsewhere, too.
Either way, R5 finally looks like he's about to finally get a taste of the action after R2 replaced him at the Lars homestead in order to save the galaxy all those years ago.
