The second season of “Star Wars: The Mandalorian” will likely feature established characters from the Skywalker Saga, Deadline reports.
The setup: The first season of “The Mandalorian” featured a bounty hunter named Din Djarin finding a young creature named the Child (also known as Baby Yoda to everyone else) and protecting it at all costs.
- The first season ended with the Mandalorian traveling into space with Baby Yoda, looking to bring him back home.
What’s going on: Season two, which will be released in fall 2020, will likely feature “several established characters” from the original Skywalker saga, according to Deadline.
- The Deadline report did not mention specific characters.
- The finale mentioned the Jedi, so there’s a possibility Luke Skywalker and his Jedi temple could receive a mention, according to ComicBook.com.
Possible characters: The show could include any character who is alive after “Return of the Jedi” since the show takes place during that timespan. Here’s a rundown of potential characters, per ComicBook.com:
- Maz Kanata from the sequel trilogy.
- Boba Fett, who reportedly died in the original trilogy and may have appeared in the first and fifth episode of “The Mandalorian.”
- Darth Maul has been rumored to appear, per Forbes.
- Showrunner Jon Favreau said in interviews before “The Mandalorian” that the show could feature characters from the expanded universe, according to the Deseret News.
