With the release of The Mandalorian season 3 just over six weeks away, after a two-year hiatus [haɪˈeɪtəs], Lucasfilm dropped a new trailer on Monday, giving us a glimpse of what’s next in the adventures of Din Djarin and Grogu.

hiatus
noun [haɪˈeɪtəs]

In general contexts, hiatus usually refers to a period of time when something, such as an activity or program, is suspended. In biology, hiatus refers to a gap or passage in an anatomical part or organ, and in linguistics, it denotes the occurrence of two vowel sounds without pause or intervening consonantal sound.

From the Latin verb hiare, meaning “to open wide,” which makes it a distant relation of both yawn and chasm.
