The Mandalorian Season 2 Trailer
We suspected we might see the first trailer for the upcoming second season during this year’s Star Wars Celebration, but that event was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. So Lucasfilm and Favreau decided to wait, building even more frenzied anticipation from those who devoured the first season and have been anxiously awaiting our first real look at season 2.
Personally, I had previously theorized that Favreau might unleash this trailer as a surprise during this summer’s first-ever Comic-Con at Home, since the director has such a deep relationship with that particular convention. (“Everything I learned about the movie business, I learned at Comic-Con,” he once said.) But that convention ended up being a total bust withanemic viewership and social engagement, and in hindsight, it was probably a smart decision to hold the trailer for one of the most anticipated television events of the year until several weeks later, after the stink of that convention’s failure faded into the background.
As for the show itself,The Mandalorianseason 2 will focus on the continuing adventures of bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his pint-sized pal The Child, AKA Baby Yoda. They’ll be joined in part byRosario Dawsonas Ahsoka Tano,Temuera Morrisonas Boba Fett,Timothy Olyphantas a character named Cobb Vanth whowears Boba Fett’s famous armor,Katee Sackhoffas Bo-Katan, andMichael Biehnas a bounty hunter. The specific plot details about the season are being kept under wraps, but we expect to see lots of ties to Dave Filoni’s animated shows.Carl Weathersis back as Greef Karga, and we’ll definitely see more ofGiancarlo Esposito’s villainous Moff Gideon, who iswielding the Darksaberand wants The Child for mysterious reasons.
“The stories become less isolated, yet each episode has its own flavor, and hopefully we’re bringing a lot more scope to the show,“Dave Filonirecently saidof the new season. “Everything gets bigger, the stakes get higher, but also the personal story between the Child and the Mandalorian develops in a way I think people will enjoy.”
