So, the first look second has finally been released for the Mandalorian Season 2,
and with it, we were shown some pretty interesting new shots from the upcoming season.
So, I’m going to break down all of the new reveals and connections to the other Star Wars shows,
like Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels and more.

So right off the bat it’s very clear that Lucasfilm and Disney are holding their cards very
close to their chest and are not going to reveal much at all until the first episode of the season
drops on October 30. Maybe they’ll reveal slightly more new footage and a massive reveal in a new
trailer, but there really isn’t much time at all left for that now, so we’ll have to wait and see.
So, the trailer begins with 2 New Republic X-wings in hot pursuit of the Razorcuts,
with one of the pilots Ordering the Mando inside the Razorcrest to stand down immediately.
This right away confirms they aren’t on the same side of the battle of working together at this
point in the show, which makes a lot of sense. Din Djarin is still a bounty hunter, which the
New Republic aren't’ the most fond of, so it makes a lot of sense for them to be on the Razorcrest’s
tail, rapidly racing towards him, hoping to intercept. Maybe Mando is even smuggling a very
high value bounty target or precious cargo from the New Republic. It’s still not clear exactly
where the X-Wings are chasing the Razorcrest, but it could be any cloudy planet like Bespin.
Following that, we cut straight into the cockpit of the Razorcrest, where Din Djarin is intensely
steering his ship through a massive, icy, blue ravine. Mando Very quickly loses control of
the ship, slamming it harshly into the icy walls, leading it crash-land down on the snowy surface of
the planet which leads directly into the shot from the previous trailer, where we see Mando kneeling
beside the Child with a crashed ship in the background. Some of you guys thought that it may
have been a different ship crash landed, but this pretty much confirms that it is the razorcrest.
Now as for the ice planet that they are on here, I think it’s becoming more and more likely that this
will be the sacred Jedi world of Ilum. This shot, on top of the one from the previous trailer look
almost identical to the the ice caves which you are able to enter on Illum, in Jedi Fallen Order.
For those of you who don’t know, Ilum was a very holy planet for the Jedi order,
as it was the location where Jedi younglings would be sent to participate in a tradition
known as “The Gathering”. Every single Jedi youngling who had proved themselves
in training at the Jedi temple on Coruscant were sent to the crystal caves on Ilum to
search for a lightsaber crystal which called to them through the force. Once inside the dark,
crystal caverns on Ilum, the ice door at the entrance would slowly begin to freeze over,
giving the Jedi Younglings only a very limited time to collect their crystal and return.
Unfortunately, after the tragic fall of the Jedi order with Order 66 and the creation
of the Empire, Ilum was quickly discovered by Emperor Palpatine, who began excavating
and strip mining the former Jedi world to collect the kyber crystals inside so that
he could powers his brand new super weapon, the Death Star. Despite being completely destroyed
from the Imperial mining operation, Order 66 survivor, Cal Kestis, was able to travel to
the ice world to collect his own Kyber crystal, even under the immense threat of the empire.
After the battle of Endor, the First Order took control of the former imperial operation
and eventually transformed it into the newest Galactic superweapon, Starkiller Base.
Immediately following that the trailer continues and , Din Djarin has a reunion with Greef Karga
and Cara Dune, telling them that he’s only there on business, and needs to return the
small child to it’s kind. Mando and Greef do shake hands, so it doesn’t look like there
will be any betrayal yet, at least at this point. They appear to still be on Nevarro on this shot,
which of course would make a lot of sense with the Bounty Hunters Guild being run from there.
Following that, we cut straight to a desert world, which is almost surely Tatooine.
We know this because Mando is riding the same swoop bike as he was in the last trailer,
which did kinda look like had Boba Fett’s helmet and jetpack on the back, but we’ll
have to wait and see on that one. We also see what looks like a Bantha skeleton in the sand,
further confirming that this is Tatooine. It does also look slightly like he may be approaching the
Sarlacc pit, which of course would be a massive hint at the return of Boba Fett,
who is already confirmed to appearing in some way in the Mandalorian Season 2.
Following that, we return to the Ice planet, where the Mando says “If I can locate other
mandalorians, they can guide me”. This right here almost certainly points to Bo-Katan appearing from
the Clone Wars, and also Star Wars Rebels, where she held the darksaber and was given the Rulership
of Mandalore after having it handed over by Sabine Wren, who is probably being played by Sasha Banks.
But let me know down below which Mandalorians from Clone Wars and Rebels you would like to see,
because there certainly are a few that could still be alive this point,
even after the horrific imperial purge. Personally, I want to see Rook Kast
appear in the show, who was one of Maul’s closest aides in the Son of Dathomir comics
and also made a small appearance in Clone Wars Season 7, at the Siege of Mandalore.
Following that, we get a really interesting shot of Din Djarin repairing the Razorcrest,
after it crashed down on the ice planet. If you look to the left of the Mando, you can see a dead,
ice spider next to him. Now I don’t remember there ever being ice spiders on Ilum,
so this could actually point to a completely new planet, but again,
maybe he has just crash landed on a different part of the planet, where these ice spiders live.
Let me know down in the comments what you think. To me, it actually does almost look
like the Krykna spiders from the Rebel base on Attalon, which we saw in Star Wars Rebels, or a
smaller version of the Kashyyyk spider form Jedi Fallen order, or maybe even the Kinraths from the
Old Republic and unfinished Clone Wars episodes, although the Kinraths do looks slightly different.
After that, we get more shots from the old trailer, before cutting straight to
an industrial looking work, with magma cracks lining the surface. This could definitely be
Nevarro since Greef Karga and Cara Dune are still there from the earlier shot where they
meet with Din Djarin, or it does also look a lot like the Volcanic world of Sullust,
which was an essential mining and manufacturing world for the empire.
If Moff Gideon is going to expand his power and reach, he’s going to need a facility like this.
Now this could actually also be Mustafar, which doesn’t really look same as Revenge of the Sith,
but it does look pretty similar to the small shot from the Beginning of Rise of Skywalker.
We know from the Clone Wars series that Palpatine was kidnapping and taking Jedi
Younglings to Mustafar for experimentation and to indoctrinate future inquisitors,
so this would definitely have a major connection to Baby Yoda and the experimentation that the
Kaminoan scientist wanted to do to him. After the Vader immortal games,
we know that Mustafar is regenerating, so maybe that points to Mustafar even more.
We also get a very quick shot of the blue Mythroll from the first Episode of Mandalorian Season 1,
which is an awesome callback. Immediately following that,
we see a scout trooper, hopefully the same one that punched Baby Yoda,
getting crushed between a mountain and a vehicle that Cara Dune is steering.
Next is a shot of Cara and the Mando, along with Greef Kara inside what clearly look
like the halls of Moff Gideons Star Destroyer. We’ve seen his Star Destroyer hinted at many
times through interviews and official photo releases, so I think that’s almost sure to
be his Star Destroyer. Let me know down below what you think it will be called!
And to end the small trailer, we see Din Djarin zooming across a very wide ravine,
with Lava at the bottom, escaping a group of Tie outlanders and Tie fighters,
on what looks to be the exact same Lava planet from before. So whichever it is,
it looks like Lucasfilm are showing us quite a lot of footage from one episode.
I definitely think they’re keeping a lot of their cards close to their chest, like Ahsoka,
Bo Katan, Boba Fett and even potentially Ezra Bridger. We didn’t even get a look at
the Child in the Mandalorian Season 1 trailer at all, until the episode aired on Disney+,
so I think it’s very possible that Disney and Lucasfilm are doing the same here, keeping things
incredibly quiet. There was also a rumoured trailer where Ahsoka was supposed to appear,
but it looks like that rumour is now dead in the water, because we still haven’t seen it yet and
there really isn’t too much time left for another big trailer. Either way, I’m sure it’ll be great
once we see her appear in the show, most likely in Episode 5, which Dave Filloni is directing.
Either way, let me know down below if I missed anything and what you thought of the
trailer overall. Thanks so much for watching, remember to leave a like and subscribe to be
notified as soon as I release more Mandalorian Season 2 content. Thanks so much for watching,
really hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers guys, hope to see you in the next one!
