After initially being teased inThe Mandalorianseason 3,Star Warshas provided a full look at the first live-actionMythosaur, and thus a sneak peek at what’s to come in the future. The Mythosaur has long since acted as thesymbol of the Mandalorians, with it having been painted on Boba Fett’s armor all the way back inThe Empire Strikes Back. The creatures are highly significant to the Mandalorian people, seeing as it was the warrior’s ability to tame these massive beasts that helped to make the Mandalorians so renowned. Now, Mythosaurs have become more important than ever.
Star Wars' Mandalorian Timeline & History Explained
As the greatest warriors in the Star Wars galaxy, Mandalorians have a rich and expanding history, and this is their full timeline in canon explained.
Shared byCobaltGreen1138on Twitter/X, a newStar WarsToppstrading card reveals the first full look at a live-action Mythosaur. It builds greatly upon the small tidbits that were seen inThe Mandalorianseason 3, which had only truly shown the creature’s eye, scales, and curved horns. This image breathes more life into the creature, making itthe closestStar Warshas perhaps ever come to bringing a dragon to life. With sharp teeth, raised spikes, scales, and a head shape that perfectly matches the Mythosaur symbol, this creature is certainly worth all the hype.
The Mythosaur Is Key To The Mandalorian’s Future
Its Appearance Will Fulfill an Age-Old Prophecy
As mentioned by theArmorerinThe Book of Boba Fett,the Mythosaur is at the heart of a Mandalorian prophecy that is starting to come to life before viewers' eyes. The Armorer described a “Mythosaur rising up to herald a new age of Mandalore,” just before the events that would ultimately lead to the Mandalorians reclaiming their homeworld from theImperial Remnant- at least, Moff Gideon’s faction. GivenDin DjarinandBo-Katan Kryze’s key roles in this event, and in awakening the Mythosaur beneath theLiving Waters, this prophecy will no doubt come true in the coming years.
The Mandalorian’s Prophecy Is The Key To Star Wars' Future
The Mandalorian’s prophecy of the Mand’alor has massive implications for the future of Star Wars, and it could impact The Mandalorian movie.
Another layer to this is Grogu’s own connection to the Mythosaur, which briefly happens inThe Mandalorianseason 3’s ending. As a Force-user, it’s not unusual that Grogu can connect with any and all life forms, but neither he nor Din had seen or heard about the Mythosaur that lived beneath the Living Waters. This means that Grogu’s ability to connect to the Mythosaur without previous knowledge of its presence, and the Mythosaur’s acknowledgment of him, could be further setup for perhaps even Grogu to be the one who helps to tame the great beast in the future.
Either way, this prophecy is a core part of all the future stories fromThe Mandalorianto come, including the upcomingThe Mandalorian & Grogumovie. There’s a new galactic conflict brewing with the return ofGrand Admiral Thrawnand theImperial Shadow Council’s scheming, one that has Mandalore at the heart of it all.It would be no surprise for the Mythosaur itself to rise and defend its homeworld, thus fulfilling the prophecy that the Armorer had shared. This first full look atThe Mandalorian’s Mythosaur seems to only further tease this inevitable future.
