Summary
- Din Djarin takes on the role of fighting Imperial Remnants for the New Republic, replacing Cara Dune in the canceled Rangers of the New Republic series.
- Carson Teva becomes a regular character in Mandalorian-era Star Wars series, representing the good side of the New Republic as he leads the fight against Imperial Remnants.
- Ahsoka develops the character of General Hera Syndulla, establishing her importance in the New Republic and connecting her to Carson Teva, a storyline that could have been explored in Rangers of the New Republic.
Lucasfilm initially planned to release a Star Wars Disney+ TV show called Rangers of the New Republic in The Mandalorian era – but, although this has been canceled, its story lives on elsewhere. Rangers of the New Republic was announced in 2020 as one of the very first spin-off series of The Mandalorian, following the success of The Mandalorian seasons 1 and 2. It was expected to follow characters such as Cara Dune and Captain Carson Teva (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) as they investigated the problem of Imperial Remnants in the Outer Rim of the galaxy, as heavily foreshadowed in one of the final scenes of The Mandalorian season 2, episode 4 "Chapter 12: The Siege."
Rangers of the New Republic was canceled, but its' story still needs to be told; it was part of the buildup to an upcoming Star Wars movie in which Grand Admiral Thrawn will threaten the New Republic. This means Lucasfilm's Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni haven't given up the ideas behind Rangers of the New Republic. Many of these story elements can be seen in The Mandalorian and Ahsoka.

The end of The Mandalorian season 3 sees Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin get just about everything he could ever want; a son, a home, and a job. Din is replacing the role Cara might have had in Rangers of the New Republic, flying all over the galaxy to fight and either capture or eliminate Imperial Remnant threats. She was notably grittier than many other New Republic rangers, and as one of the galaxy's most renowned bounty hunters, it's no surprise that Din's been chosen as the one to take her place in this New Republic story.
As someone whose past is just as clouded by Imperial travesties as Cara's own, it makes sense that Din gets to take on this role going forward. Mando is the one who approaches Carson Teva on Adelphi with the idea of doing Imperial Remnant bounty-hunting for the New Republic under the table, and by no surprise, Carson agrees to it. Not only is this because of Din's bounty hunter reputation of being the "best in the parsec," but he's also been responsible for defeating Moff Gideon three times – the third of which has eliminated his threat from the galaxy permanently.
7 Carson Teva Is A Star Wars Series Regular 
Paul Sun-Hyung Lee's Carson Teva has become a Star Wars series regular, telling the story he would have had in Rangers of the New Republic. Carson is growing deeply frustrated with the very institution he's serving as he mobilizes the fight against Imperial Remnants the best he can. Carson would probably have been a major character in Rangers of the New Republic, but now he gets to do the same kind of things in other Disney+ TV shows.
Carson has swiftly gone from a "frenemy" of Din's to a regular in Mandalorian-era Star Wars series. He's appeared at least once in all three Mandalorian-era shows, even beating out Mando himself. Carson acts as the face of the good side of the New Republic, the person who still believes in all the same values he withheld during his time in the Rebellion. He was certainly set to lead the canceled series, but now, he acts as the face of the rangers in all these Star Wars stories.
