Mando! Yes, The Mandalorian, the flagship Disney+ program, is back with Season Two. Last season, the show was a smash hit, showcasing Star Wars not just on the small screen, but as a streaming service property. This new manner of taking in the iconic franchise didn’t just blow people away, it started a cultural hallmark with The Child / Baby Yoda. Now, last week brought the return of the show, cementing it as one of the great series out there. Read on for a bit more about Season Two, but honestly, everyone is already watching, I’m sure of it.

Directors for the new season include Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rick Famuyiwa, Carl Weathers, Peyton Reed and Robert Rodriguez. Showrunner Jon Favreau serves as executive producer along with Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy and Colin Wilson, with Karen Gilchrist serving as co-executive producer.” This season, things look bigger, which could also end up meaning better. Watching the Mandalorian seek to reunite The Child with its own kind is a fairly thrilling narrative, one that could easily span multiple seasons. The show has a distinctive look, a combination of Star Wars and Western, that serves it well, so now that we’re all invested so much in the story, the possibilities are endless. Pedro Pascal has […]
