The Purrgil are semi-sentient whales who possess the ability to travel through hyperspace, and they’ve cropped up in “Star Wars” media from time to time in the past. On “Star Wars Rebels,” they form a bond with Ezra Bridger and help him defeat Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn. So, does this mean that fans can expect to see Ezra and Thrawn appear on “The Mandalorian” Season 3?
Some fans certainly believe that’s the case, especially after Thrawn was mentioned during “The Mandalorian” Season 2 and Ezra is part of Disney+’s future plans. “Very cool and beautiful but also slightly terrifying in terms of size, number, and suddenness of appearance around the ship in response to Grogu,” u/BornAshes wrote. Afterward, the Redditor noted that these beings have an “innate connection” to Ezra, and fans have wanted to see the character appear on “The Mandalorian” for a while.
Elsewhere, Redditor u/yupitsbrad stated that this is surely a sign of things to come. “First thought was immediately Thrawn & Ezra! This is great foreshadowing!” Meanwhile, u/somesnarkycomments highlighted that an Ezra appearance is possible as “The Mandalorian” will probably tie into Disney+’s upcoming “Ahsoka” spin-off, which will see Eman Esfandi play the character.
