about "The Mandalorian" season two?

"The Mandalorian's" glorious finale

brought the premiere season of the first ever live action

Star Wars TV series to an end just before the new year.

And for the first time since before the release

of 1999's "The Phantom Menace," the Star Wars fandom

seemed united in wholeheartedly enjoying something

set in the galaxy far, far away.

It was truly a Life Day miracle.

So, it seemed like a foregone conclusion

that this series would get a second season,

even before series creator, writer and producer, Jon Favreau

confirmed on social media that season two

of "The Mandalorian" would be a go for Fall 2020.

And, while Favreau did give us a small taste

of what to expect with this picture of a statuette

of a Gamorrean.

You know, the "Green Eggs and Ham" Star Wars species?

It's that explosive finale and holy (beep)

final moment of the episode that has fans salivating

over what's to come.

So let's gather up and break down all of the information

we know about season two of the Mando right now,

and infer what we can.

Also, in case you haven't seen it yet,

spoilers for "The Mandalorian" chapter eight,

or if you've seen it already,

please use this time to like and subscribe.

- We all will be quiet.

- Okay, first thing's first.

Let's get to what we all wanna hear about,

whenever we talk about "The Mandalorian."

- I would like to see the baby.

- The wee baby Yoda!

Look, we know that season two's gonna feature

enough of the wee baby Yodes to fill our heart's content,

so we can fill your hearts with our content.

The first season ended with the Mandalorian literally

becoming baby Yoda's legal dad!

Because, this is the way of the Mandalorians.

And in season two, it sounds like

they're gonna reveal the real name for the wee baby Yoda.

That's right, IG-11 voice actor and Mandalorian director

Taika Waititi revealed during this weekend's Golden Globes,

that he knows that old ass 50 year old baby's

real name, and it isn't baby Yoda.

But he's not just gonna tell us like

Pedro Pascal did with Din Djarin in a random interview.

No, he's gonna leave it up to Jon Favreau

to reveal the wee baby Yoda's real name.

And honestly, that's a relief to hear,

this is all planned out, and isn't just some like,

smoke monster "Lost" bull (beep).

Yeah!

I'm still mad about it.

Now we also know that old Din Djarin's gonna try

to find the wee baby Yoda's homeworld,

a planet of presumed force users,

which might not go great

because Mandalorians and Jedi are ancient enemies.

I mean, their enmity goes back a long way.

And while Yoda species aren't all Jedi in hiding,

we suspect that the Mandalorian harboring

a force sensitive child might cause some friction.

Especially since, as we saw in chapter eight

of "The Mandalorian," Din was possibly rescued and raised

by Death Watch Mandalorians who, really, really

dislike Jedi and even allied themselves with Darth Maul

for a while, after he killed their last leader

and took 'em over.

Now all of this is laid out

in the animated "Clone War" series and when it returns

in February, the new season's gonna be all about

the siege of Mandalore during the Clone Wars.

So we can expect to learn a lot more Star lore

that'll deepen our understanding

of the Manda-lore in series.

Now it turns out that Mand-lore is pretty awesome

and thankfully Mandalorian historian, Dave Filoni,

is helping to guide this series.

And speaking of deep Mando-lore, we're gonna get a lot more

of it in "The Mandalorian" second season,

based off the finale's stunning final image

of Moff Gideon, standing amidst the wreckage

of a TIE fighter, wielding the Darksaber.

Now the Darksaber is a relic created

by the only Mandalorian Jedi ever to join

the Jedi Order, Tarre Vizsla.

The fact that Moff Gideon has it now,

means that he either killed the former Mandalorian leader

Bo Katan during the Mandalorian purge,

which means Din Djarin needs to avenge her,

or she's gonna be back and super pissed in season two.

Either option's gonna be pretty cool to watch.

And if you wanna know more, stay tuned for

an upcoming episode of Explainiac.

Now, could this mean the former foundling,

Din Djarin might use the Darksaber, perhaps as a symbol

to unite the disparate Mandalorian clans and cohorts,

and become their leader?

Well, it's possible, but seems like a lot for a season

that already has an awful lot going on,

so maybe that's something for down the road

in future seasons.

But what about the rest of Din Djarin's crew?

Well, Carl Weathers, who plays

the bounty hunter guild member Greef Carga,

tweeted that he'll be involved with the second season.

But he's not the only familiar face that we're gonna see.

Deadline reported that insiders claim some characters

from the Skywalker saga are set to appear in season two.

However, don't expect them to be major characters,

unless we're gonna see a lot of digital de-aging,

but rather, consider them to be characters who have

their faces covered or maybe ones that are all aliens.

What I'm trying to say is Watto's back, baby!

(Watto groans)

Folks, this means like all the bounty hunters

from "Empire Strikes Back."

Since the Mandalorian's back in good standing

with the bounty hunter's guild, maybe, just maybe,

he's gonna team up with the likes of Bossk or Zuckuss

or 4 Lom, IG-88, or Dengar, that mummy (beep).

In fact, in current Star Wars canon, we know

that Dengar is still bounty hunting at the time

of the "Aftermath" novels.

And, it's even being speculated that he is alive

in "The Rise of Skywalker," hiding out under the name

Rothgar Deng, according to the visual dictionary.

(sighs) These names never get any better.

Rothgar Deng, private eye, bounty hunting

at your pleasure.

Plus we still don't know who they were teasing,

approaching the body of Fennec Shand at the end

of chapter five.

Now we still think the boot jingles hint that it might be

Boba Fett and it would definitely be the Skywalker saga

characters that fans would most want to see.

But another bit worth mentioning is that the Mandalorian

is searching for baby Yoda's home world.

That means there's another person lurking that might want

to know the same thing.

Specifically the Phantom Menace himself.

I'm talking about the Senate,

the man who smashed, Sheev Palpatine.

He's recuperating in a jar of goo, building the Sith fleet

on Exegol in the unknown regions.

Who knows what he's up to?

We still don't really know how he survived getting shafted

in "Return of the Jedi," but we wouldn't be surprised

if the presumably Midichlorian-rich baby Yoda

and his species might play some sort of part

in his survival.

We'll just have to wait and see when "The Mandalorian"

season two drop on Disney Plus, this fall.

But what do you folks think?

What do you wanna see most

in season two of "The Mandalorian?"

- I would like to see the baby.

- And who are the Skywalker saga characters

you most want to see?

Also, what's the baby Yoda's real name?

And why is it, is it really a baby Yoda?

Let's discuss.
