The Mandalorian season 3, episode 7 release date, time, channel, and plot

The 2023 Star Wars celebration event may be over, but the party is still on for Disney’s premier Star Wars show. After a two-year hiatus that seemed to last forever, The Mandalorian has triumphantly returned to the small screen. The groundbreaking show proved the Star Wars franchise can work just as well, if not better, on the small screen than in movie theatres, and helped pave the way for successful follow-up series like The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the superb Andor.

Because it has been a while, audiences may have forgotten certain specific details about the show or just where and when to watch it. Digital Trends is here with a handy guide to The Mandalorian season 3, including when you can watch episode 7, plus plot details, trailers, and much more.

Episode 7 is titled Chapter 23. At last week’s Star Wars Celebration 2023 event in London, the opening minutes of this episode were screened to attendees so we know a little bit about what’s going to happen. The major revelation is that Moff Gideon returns to the show in this episode. He is shown as a hologram talking to Elia Kane, Gilad Pellaeon, and Brendol Hux about the troublesome Mandalorians, particularly Din and Bo-Katan. In addition, something called “Operation Necromancer” is referenced, a subplot that is likely to pay off either in the finale or down the road in season 4.

Here’s the official plot synopsis for season 3 of The Mandalorian: “The journeys of the Mandalorian through the Star Wars galaxy continue. Once a lone bounty hunter, Din Djarin has reunited with Grogu. Meanwhile, the New Republic struggles to lead the galaxy away from its dark history. The Mandalorian will cross paths with old allies and make new enemies as he and Grogu continue their journey together.”

Yes! Especially episodes 5, 6, and 7, which feature Din Djarin and develop his relationship with Grogu. Without watching those episodes, you might be confused at the start of The Mandalorian season 3 as things are different for Grogu and company since season 2 ended.

Venom 3: release date, plot, cast, trailer, and more
Tom Hardy in the Venom suit as he looks confused in "Venom: The Last Dance."

In 2018, Sony Pictures made a bold attempt to keep making Marvel movies without the direct involvement of Marvel Studios. The very first movie in Sony's Spider-Man Universe was Venom, a film based on one of Spidey's greatest villains, who Topher Grace had previously portrayed in 2007's Spider-Man 3. Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises) headlined Venom as reporter Eddie Brock and the titular alien symbiote who bonded with him. And unlike Sony's later film, Morbius, Venom was a big hit, earning $856.1 million worldwide.

Hardy reprised his dual roles in 2021's Venom: Let There Be Carnage, which also outperformed expectations at the post-pandemic box office. Later this year, Hardy will once again return as Eddie and Venom in Venom 3: The Last Dance, a film described as the closing chapter in this trilogy. Regardless, Venom 3 may not be the end of the road for Hardy's superhero career, especially after his MCU cameo in 2021. To bring everyone up to speed about the upcoming superhero sequel, we're sharing everything we know about Venom 3.
