What You Need To Know Before You Watch The Mandalorian Season 2

The adventures of Helmeted-Hero-slash-Galaxy's-Best-Foster-Dad and his green-skinned, 50-year-old son shall continue. Yes, the hit Disney+ Star Wars series The Mandalorian is indeed returning for a second season and here's all the details we have on it.

Who will be returning for season 2? Pedro Pascal's Mando (real name: Din Djarin), Carl Weathers' Greef Karga, Giancarlo Esposito's Moff Gideon, Gina Carano's Cara Dune, and of course, The Child AKA Baby Yoda, will show up in the new bundle of Mandalorian episodes.

Get ready for season 2 of the series to add new characters to its ranks as well some of whom Star Wars loyals have already seen on the silver screen. When Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau confirmed the debut date for the new season back in December, he added to his announcement tweet a photo of a Gamorrean, a species of piggish creatures who guarded Jabba the Hutt's palace in Return of the Jedi. This hints that the series, which is set five years after Return of the Jedi and 25 years before The Force Awakens, may take a turn into territory not yet charted by the Star Wars franchise.

Whoops, wrong franchise.

Anyway, season 2 might dig into the going-ons of Jabba the Hutt's crime rings and how they've been getting on following his death. Perhaps Mando will find himself a new big, bad foe to face off against when he meets a brutish Gamorrean, or maybe he'll have to escape the wrath of one of Jabba's closest associates.

Deadline later noted that the upcoming season of The Mandalorian is set to include a variety of characters from the Skywalker saga that is, the nine Star Wars films that stretch from 1977's A New Hope all the way to 2019's The Rise of Skywalker. In the outlet's words:

"Insiders have hinted that several established characters from the Skywalker saga's feature films mythology will make appearances during the show's sophomore season."

This could account for characters as relatively low-key as droids, as well as for major players like dare we say it the famous Mandalorian bounty hunter Boba Fett, whom many believe was the person approaching Fennec Shand's dead body at the end of chapter 5. The Skywalker saga left a lot of questions unanswered, so perhaps the upcoming season of The Mandalorian aims to patch up those blank spaces and bring viewers face-to-face with some not-so-forgotten characters. Keep watching the video to see what you need to know before you watch The Mandalorian Season 2.
