And with that, strap yourselves in as we explore the series' release date, trailer, cast, first look images, and more. We'd known it was coming in October since February – but Disney finally confirmed this in September 2020. Unfortunately for Mando, however, the Armorer didn’t have any information on where he might find them: “This you must determine,” she teases. Perhaps most likely, however, is the reappearance of various bounty hunters hired by Darth Vader to capture the Millennium Falcon in The Empire Strikes Back. Following the titular elite soldiers first introduced in The Clone Wars, we'll see the experimental clones on daring missions as they attempt to find meaning in a post-Clone era. According to Deadline, “Insiders have hinted that several established characters from the Skywalker saga’s feature films mythology will make appearances during the show’s sophomore season.” Jon Favreau’s release date tweet above showed a picture of a Gamorrean, one of the so-called Pig Guards from Jabba’s Palace in Return of the Jedi, but we suspect that – if this insider's rumors are accurate – they’re referring to someone who’s a significantly bigger deal in the saga than that. The bounty hunter did manage to escape 1000 years of digestion in the old Expanded Universe “Legends” stories, a plot that could be ported over into official canon. Baby Yoda has been marked as the highest sold Pop from Funko and there is a good reason. But, in addressing questions over whether he's a Sith Lord, he hinted: "is he really that fallen hero? Buy Funko Pop! If Gideon is at least force-sensitive, it strengthens the case that Ahsoka Tano will appear as his force-sensitive rival. Incinerator Stormtrooper™, Pop!

In the Outer Rim worlds that provide the setting for The Mandalorian, the Force exploits of the Jedi are just myth – indeed, the Mandalorian simply says of Baby Yoda’s Force abilities that “it can move objects with its mind”.

At the conclusion of Star Wars Rebels (set two years before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope) it ended up in the hands of Bo-Katan Kryze, who was deemed the rightful heir to the Mandalorian leadership. In May 2020, Slashfilm reported Katee Sackhoff will be reprising her role as the Mandalorian warrior Bo-Katan Kryze from Star Wars: Rebels, only this time in live-action.

Amid the launch of the first-look images from EW, however, Favreau did reveal he directed the first episode of season 2. Variety, too, confirmed the report, saying it's a guest-starring role. This would certainly contradict George Lucas' famous rule about not revealing the origin of Yoda's species... During the season 1 finale, the Mandalorian Armorer on Nevarro tells the Mandalorian that because Baby Yoda is a foundling (and therefore probably not, as previously speculated, a clone), “By creed it it is in your care.” She then adds that, “You have no choice, you must reunite it with its own kind.”.
No release date announced for these Funko Mandalorian figures, so be on the lookout! He has been the Collectibles Editor since late 2019. We'll find soon: speaking to Deadline, Esposito emphasised that this mysterious blade will be a major focus of season 2 and "key to Moff Gideon's past". There was a problem. The hype for these is still there as the NYCC 2019 Mando Pop is reaching $450 value so any one of these could be the next contender for your Pop grail collection.
