Lucasfilm and Disney have just released some brand new sneak peek photos from the Mandalorian
Season 2 which may confirm the appearance of some characters that we have all been speculating
about, and also give us some massive hints into the events of the upcoming adventure.

as I release more Mandalorian Season 2 content.
Many amazing new images have just been released, showcasing some of the upcoming events in
the Mandalorian season 2, including the fact that Jon Favreau has just confirmed that the
series will be 8 episodes, just like the first season.
The first two images released come from the cover of the Entertainment Weekly magazine,
which prominently features the child, standing behind the leg of Din Djarin.
The two appear to be on the planet Nevarro, which of course is where IG-11 bravely sacrificed
himself to save the life of the crew, but of course it could definitely also be either
Mustafar or Sullust, both of which are unlikely, given we’ve already seen this type of Lava
on Navarro in the show.
Other than the location, the only other major detail in this shot seems to be that the Child
has aged slightly since the end of season 1, potentially meaning there has been a small
time gap, but this could definitely also just be the lighting and angle of the shot.
Following that, we get an alternate shot of the two, this time, with the Child firmly
placed inside of the Mando’s pack.
This shot really does remind me of the Clone Grave scene shot at the end of Clone Wars
Season 7, but this obviously doesn’t mean anything.
The current leaks and rumours do however say that we will be seeing a small appearance
from Ahsoka Tano in the first trailer, fighting two bounty hunters inside of a cantina, but
because the leakers got the trailer date wrong, I’m not going to fully buy that yet.
Next is a shot including a tusken raider riding a banths, pretty much confirming that we will
once again be returning to Tatooine.
Of course this could be another desert planet, but based on statements from Jon Favreau and
other information, it likely is tatooine.
Now this is very important, because it could mean that the rumours about Boba Fett escaping
from the Sarlacc pit may actually be true.
At the moment in Canon, we do know that Boba Fett lost his armour sometime after being
eaten by the Sarlacc, because a self-proclaimed sheriff from a small town on tatooine discovered
it in the Aftermath series of novels.
In the books, we learn that Boba’s Armor is badly dissolved and melted by the acid
of Sarlacc, with many pot marks.
I really think we’re going to see Cob Vanth make an appearance on Tatooine, and maybe
Din Djarin believes that he is the famous bounty hunter Boba Fett.
At that point, it’s possible that Boba Fett fights him to reclaim the armor.
Either way, it’s awesome to see that we’ll likely be returning to Tatooine!
After that, we get a really awesome shot of Greef Kara, wearing a new black outfit, sitting
in what looks like a cantina.
Greef Karga wearing black in the shot could symbolise that he will be more of a villain
in this season, because we know how much George Lucas loved to use color symbolism, with Anakin
wearing black while the rest of the Jedi Order wore lighter colours like white, and Luke
wearing black in Return of the Jedi where he struggled with the dark side.
Jon Favreau has said many times that he wants to follow the traditions of George Lucas in
the Mandalorian, so it would not surprise that he is following this one.
Other than that, we can’t really gather too much from this image, apart from that
fact that this may be the same cantina from the trailer, where Ahsoka fights the two bounty
hunters, if the leak is correct.
Following that is an awesome shot on what could either be Tatooine, Arvala-7 or Nevarro,
it’s not really clear.
We get an awesome look at the Clan Mudhorn Logo, which of course Din Djarin formed with
the Child.
This photo is accompanied by one where Din Djarin is riding a speeder bike, in what looks
like the same location.
So let me know down below which planet you think this is.
After is a photo showing the trio of Din Djarin, Cara Dune and Greef Karga working together
in what could really be any location, but potentially, a Star Destroyer, which is backed
up by the next photo.
The following photo shows Moff Gideon inside what definitely could be a Star Destroyer.
In the interview that came alongside this image, Giancarlo Esposito, who plays Moff
Gideon, pretty much confirmed this, saying that he will also “command a larger vehicle,
hint-hint”.
So it’s pretty safe to say that this is on board Gideons’ star destroyer.
Let me know down below what you think the name of his Star Destroyer will be!
Based on the brightness coming from the Window, I’d say that he may have the destroyer hovering
in the atmosphere, like we save in Rogue One, as a threat to Din Djarin, to hand over the
child.
Finally, we have a shot of Cara Dune leaning up against a pole.
Really not much to speculate about on this one, it could be on any planet, but it’s
definitely still cool to see!
So those are all of the new photos released by Disney and Lucasfilm ahead of the release
of the Mandalorian Season 2 which is coming very soon.
Thanks so much for watching, remember to hit the subscribe button as I’ll be covering
the Mandalorian in depth when it releases, very shortly!
