The Mandalorian: Echoes of the Past
EXT. DESERT PLANET - NIGHT
A vast, barren landscape stretches out under the light of two moons. The Razor Crest, our Mandalorian protagonist's ship, sits alone in the desert.
INT. RAZOR CREST - NIGHT
Din Djarin, the MANDALORIAN, is working on a control panel, trying to fix something. The CHILD (Baby Yoda) looks curiously at the blinking lights.
MANDALORIAN
That should do it. It's risky to stay here any longer. We need to get off this rock before Bounty Hunters catch a scent.
The Mandalorian lifts the Child into his arms and they make their way to the cockpit.
INT. RAZOR CREST - COCKPIT - NIGHT
As the Mandalorian carefully places the Child into his capsule, his wrist vibrates, indicating an incoming message. He checks the encoded request.
MANDALORIAN
A job for a missing artifact? The client is offering a lot of Beskar for this. Baby Yoda, cozy up. We're heading to Nevarro.
The Mandalorian powers up the engines and breaks atmosphere, leaving the barren planet behind.
EXT. NEVARRO - DAY
The Razor Crest lands in the heart of the city. The Mandalorian emerges with the Child in tow. As they walk through the crowded streets, they discreetly assess their surroundings.
INT. NEVARRO - CANTINA - DAY
Entering a dimly lit cantina, they observe patrons engaged in lively discussions, arguments, and negotiations. The Mandalorian approaches the bar and sits down. The Child climbs up a stool next to him.
BARTENDER
(dryly)
What'll it be, Mando?
MANDALORIAN
(calculative)
Information first. The location of a certain contact.
The bartender leans forward conspiratorially.
BARTENDER
I know who you're looking for. He's in the back room. And for your sake, don't bring the baby.
Cut to:
INT. NEVARRO - CANTINA - BACK ROOM - DAY
The Mandalorian enters the back room to find their informant, known only as SHADOW, waiting in the darkness.
SHADOW
You've clearly made a reputation, Mando. So, you're looking for an ancient artifact from the Old Republic. What are you willing to offer?
MANDALORIAN
(stern)
The client is offering a substantial amount of Beskar. I'm willing to give you a portion of the reward for the information.
Shadow smirks ominously.
SHADOW
(evil grin)
I like you, Mando. But this won't be an easy find. Anyone who even whispers about it ends up dead. Is it worth the risk?
MANDALORIAN
It is for what I need.
The Mandalorian and Shadow exchange details, and a dangerous journey is set in motion.

MANDALORIAN
We're almost there, kid.
The hologram of a TATOONI MERCHANT activates.
TATOONI MERCHANT
(through hologram)
Greetings Mandalorian. I heard that you're heading my way, and I have a job for you.
MANDALORIAN
Name the job, and the price.
TATOONI MERCHANT
(through hologram)
Retrieve an ancient artifact from a fortress on the planet Arthrax-6. I'll pay you handsomely.
MANDALORIAN
I'll look into it.
TATOONI MERCHANT
(through hologram)
Good. Safe travels.
The hologram disappears. The Razor Crest lands on Arthrax-6.
EXT. ARTHRAX-6 SURFACE - DAY

MANDALORIAN
(to Grogu)
I have a bad feeling about this. Stay close.
They sneak past security droids and enter the fortress.
INT. FORTRESS - DAY
Mando and Grogu navigate the dark, unsettling fortress. Mando uses his gadgets to evade traps.
MANDALORIAN
(whispering)
Almost there, kid.
Fortress SECURITY CHIEF appears on a high-tech screen.
SECURITY CHIEF
(holographic projection)
We detected your presence the moment you arrived, Mandalorian. You will never make it out of here alive.
A horde of droids surround Mando and Grogu. A desperate battle ensues.
TO BE CONTINUED.
The Mandalorian: Heart of the Jungle
EXT. LUSH JUNGLE PLANET - DAY
The Razor Crest descends through the atmosphere, landing in a small clearing surrounded by dense jungle.
INT. RAZOR CREST - COCKPIT
THE MANDALORIAN (Mando) powers down the ship's systems, while a hologram of GREEF KARGA is displayed, providing details about the mission.
GREEF KARGA (HOLOGRAM):
This is Thalon Prime, quiet and full of resources for the Guild. Your target is an illegal mining operation. Put an end to it and gather intel.
Mando nods, turning off the hologram, focused.
INT. RAZOR CREST - LIVING AREA
MANDO enters the living area where The Child (GROGU) waddles around, babbling, and picks him up.
MANDO:
Stay here, Kid. It might get dangerous out there.
Mando places Grogu in a small, secure living space.
EXT. RAZOR CREST - DAY
Mando exits the Razor Crest and takes in his surroundings. He activates his scanning visor to locate the mining operation.
Mando's POV:
The visor shows a heatmap and marks the location of the mining operation.
BACK TO SCENE
Mando starts his trek through the dense foliage, vigilant and stealthy.
EXT. JUNGLE PLANET - DAY - LATER
Mando comes across a jungly river, using his wrist grappling hook to swing across.
He continues his journey, passing an array of strange, alien creatures and vegetation.
EXT. ILLEGAL MINING OPERATION - DAY
Mando surveys the mining operation from elevated ground. He sees several guards and mining equipment.
He creeps closer, using the foliage as cover, and comes across a pair of guards conversing near an entrance.
MINING GUARD #1:
Heard we struck a huge deposit today. Boss is going to be happy.
MINING GUARD #2:
We'll finally get those credits we deserve. About time.
Mando sneaks closer, ready to strike.
INT. RAZOR CREST - DAY - LIVING AREA
Grogu senses Mando's imminent action and starts to fidget in his living space, furrowing his brow with concern.
EXT. ILLEGAL MINING OPERATION - DAY
With precision, Mando swiftly dispatches the guards and drags them into the foliage. He then makes his way inside the mining operation.
INT. MINING OPERATION - DAY
Mando scans for an objective point as he navigates the dimly-lit tunnels. He takes down any guard he meets along the way.
Searching for evidence, he finds a storage room full of dark, crystalline ore.
He gathers some samples as a proof for Greef Karga, and as he exits the room, he comes face-to-face with heavily armed MINING BOSS.
MINING BOSS:
Who the hell are you?
Mando readies his weapons, knowing he's about to deal with a tough enemy.

The Mandalorian: The Hidden Enclave
EXT. DESERT PLANET - DAY
The Razor Crest lands on a sun-scorched desert planet, kicking up dust and sand. The Mandalorian and the Child, Baby Yoda, exit their ship.
THE MANDALORIAN
(to the Child)
Stay close, kid.
The Child coos and waddles after him.
EXT. DESERT PLANET - MINING SETTLEMENT - DAY
The Mandalorian and the Child approach a dusty, ramshackle mining settlement. Miners of various species work in the heat, occasionally looking up at the newcomers.
INT. MINING SETTLEMENT - SALOON - DAY
The Mandalorian enters the saloon, and the Child follows. The patrons, a mix of miners and scum, size them up while they take a seat.
The BARTENDER, an aging human, approaches them.
BARTENDER
The usual?
THE MANDALORIAN
No. I'm looking for someone.
The Mandalorian slips him a small data pad.
BARTENDER
(eyeing the data pad)
That's gonna cost you.
The Mandalorian drops credits on the counter. The bartender takes a look and hands over the data pad.
BARTENDER (CONT'D)
I heard they're at The Hidden Enclave. You know where's that?
THE MANDALORIAN
I'll find my way.
CUT TO:
EXT. DESERT PLANET - THE HIDDEN ENCLAVE - DAY
The Mandalorian and the Child arrive near the edge of a ravine that leads to the hidden enclave. They stop, and the Mandalorian speaks into his comlink.
THE MANDALORIAN
(to the comlink)
Peli, I need you to watch the Razor Crest. I might be gone for a while.
PELI MOTTO (V.O.)
Just keep the child out of trouble.
The Mandalorian looks down at the child, who coos in response.
CUT TO:
EXT. THE HIDDEN ENCLAVE - ENTRANCE - DAY
The Mandalorian and the Child stand before a large, sealed stone door marked with mysterious glyphs.
THE MANDALORIAN
This is the place.
He places his hand on the door, and it rumbles open, revealing a dark tunnel.
INT. THE HIDDEN ENCLAVE - TUNNEL - DAY
The Mandalorian cautiously enters with the Child in tow. The walls are lined with ancient statues and carvings, eventually opening up into a larger chamber.
INT. THE HIDDEN ENCLAVE - CHAMBER - DAY
The chamber is filled with both light and shadow. In the center is a glowing artifact. The Mandalorian is drawn to it, and the Child watches intently.
Suddenly the room starts shaking, and a hidden door opens up. Another Mandalorian, ARMORED MANDALORIAN, emerges.
ARMORED MANDALORIAN
What brings you here, brother?

The Mandalorian: Treasures of the Empire
EXT. DESERT PLANET - DAY
Establishing wide shot of the barren desert landscape. The Mandalorian's ship, the RAZOR CREST, sits in the background.
INT. RAZOR CREST - DAY
The Mandalorian, DIN DJARIN, talks to his employer, GREEF KARGA, on a hologram communications device.
GREEF KARGA
Mando, there's a salvage job on Tatooine. A buried ship from an old war with a valuable cargo. Could fetch a high price from a collector.
DIN DJARIN
I was just there. What's the catch?
GREEF KARGA
Besides competing scavengers, the ship's buried deep. Might be tougher to dig and drag it out than to blast your way in.
DIN DJARIN
Alright, send me the coordinates. I'll check it out.
GREEF KARGA
Good luck, Mando.
Din turns off the hologram communication device.
EXT. DESERT PLANET - DAY
Montage of Din guiding the Razor Crest through the desert. He lands near the buried ship's coordinates.
Din disembarks, carrying THE CHILD in its floating crib. Suddenly, THE CHILD reaches out, sensing something.
DIN DJARIN
What is it, kid?
The Child gestures at a lone figure in the distance - COB VANTH, a marshal previously introduced as a wearer of BOBA FETT's armor.
COB VANTH
Rumors say that was a heavy warfrigate - may have some old Empire treasure inside. Bet there's other scavengers looking.
DIN DJARIN
Looks like I've got competition already.
COB VANTH
Well, you've got me.
Din nods, accepting the partnership.
EXT. DESERT PLANET - DAY
Din and Cob scan the desert dunes, following the coordinates Greef sent to locate the buried ship. They come across another scavenger: a TUSKEN RAIDER.
DIN DJARIN(to Cob)
Get ready. They don't often give up a prize without a fight.
Cob nods and readies his weapon.
Din approaches the Tusken Raider slowly, using hand signs to communicate. After a tense moment, the Tusken Raider responds in-kind, agreeing to an uneasy truce.
DIN DJARIN (to Cob)
The Raider says there is a more formidable threat lurking around. He's willing to join forces for now.
They glimpse a group of rival SCAVENGERS on speeder bikes, racing towards the buried ship's location.
DIN DJARIN (cont'd)
That must be the threat he was talking about. We'll have to move fast to beat them.
The Mandalorian, Cob Vanth, and the Tusken Raider approach the buried ship as the group of rival Scavengers bears down on them.
