Five Things We Loved About The Mandalorian—And Want to See More of in Season 2
The Disney+ hit returns on Oct. 30. If you haven’t tuned in yet, there’s still time to catch up.
The Mandalorian was an instant hit with critics and fans when it premiered last year. Here are some of the things we loved about it—and want to see more of—when Season 2 premiers on Oct. 30, exclusively on Disney+.
The Child
We won’t pretend the main reason we want to see more of the Child isn’t because he’s adorable. But he’s also one of the show’s most intriguing mysteries, thanks in no small part to his Force abilities. Where did he come from? And why exactly do so many people want to capture him?
The Mandalorians
Obviously we want to see more of the Mandalorian (Mando to his friends)—it’s his show, after all. But Season 1 gave us a lot of backstory about the Mandalorian order, and so far they’ve proved to be one of the most interesting and complex groups in the galaxy.
Moff Gideon
Moff Gideon, the client behind the Client, didn’t show up until late in Season 1, so he left us wanting more by default. Plus, he’s played by Giancarlo Esposito, an actor who excels at creating intriguing bad guys. Gideon is clever, formidable —and he really wants the Child.
Mando and the Child’s bond
Although Mando initially turned the Child over to the Client, he quickly proved to be a man of great empathy, endangering his own life to save the Child’s. From what we’ve seen so far, the Child feels equally protective of Mando.
Connections to the original trilogy
Season 1 of The Mandalorian was filled with fun Easter egg references to many aspects of Star Wars storytelling, and we hope Season 2 will give us more.
Season 2 of The Mandalorian premieres on Oct. 30, exclusively on Disney+.
You can also catch up on Season 1 and access other Star Wars titles, including Episodes I to IX of the Skywalker Saga, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels and more, all for an annual subscription of $89.99 per year (or $8.99 per month). Along with access to the Marvel universe and hundreds of titles from the Disney vault, Disney+ offers unlimited downloads on up to 10 devices, exclusive originals, and GroupWatch—a feature that lets you watch movies together with family and personal friends, even when you’re apart.
