mandalorian season 2 teaser video they just dropped a bunch of new previews
for season 2. we got some first looks at the characters so we'll break it all

on in each of the episodes if you're new to

to enter is be a subscriber and let me know what you're most hyped
up about for season 2 starting with the big stuff first i'll
just number these as we go along to all the easter eggs
john favreau spent a lot of time referencing empire strikes back when
talking about the story of season 2 just in terms of the way things move
the references that they're going for because he revealed that season one was
mostly based on the first act just the first act of
star wars episode iv a new hope so they're basically moving into empire
strikes back territory in terms of what they're doing with the story
really good example of that is the boba fett of it all boba fett may have
appeared for the first time in the christmas special but his first
canonical appearance in a live action was empire strikes back
the second movie now he's showing up in the second season of the mandalorian so
it also implies that some of the themes and tone of empire strikes back will
influence the events of the mandalorian season 2 episodes
when you're also trying to theorycraft about how they're going to end season 2
think about the way that they ended empire strikes back they also confirmed
that the episodes themselves will feel more connected than they were during the
season 1 episodes each of the season 1 episodes were mostly different bounties
like a series of one-off adventures with a very very loose continuity tying them
together as he was trying to protect baby yoda there were only a few
characters that appeared in multiple episodes as part of the overarching plot
and only a few episodes themselves that were solely
dedicated to that main plot it just sounds like season 2 is going
to be way more serialized and they did say that the scope of the story gets
so much bigger whereas in season one they were mostly local to a couple
planets you didn't really see much from the
remnants of the empire moff gideon's faction or the new republic
they say that season 2 will invoke a lot more characters and larger
storytelling more lore that gets into the ahsoka of it all the boba fett
mob gideon dealing with his backstory the lore behind the mandalorians in the
darksaber but the first new scene here that they
dropped is mando cara dune and greef carga looking like they're in
an imperial facility or a ship just looking at the wall the control panel
behind them imperial gray very sterile looking very
identifiable it's hard to tell though if they're on a
planet in a building in an imperial facility or if they're on
someone's ship like if this is them on one of moff gideon's imperial ships
also if you look at greef carga's color scheme here this actually kind of
reminds me of anakin and palpatine's clothes and revenge of the sith with the
mixture of reds and blacks he's not evil himself
but carl weathers did say we learned more about his backstory during season
two all we learned about him during season one from moff gideon when he was
reading off their rap sheets and their backstories was
that he used to be an administrator like a local magistrate that was disgraced
living on navarro before he started running the batting hunters
guild of course there are several previews and scenes of mando and baby
yoda that they dropped on what looks like tatooine for the most part
this is them chilling out in town looking like they're just waiting for
someone baby yoda is sitting closer to eye level
the reason why they actually do that practically from the way that they film
things is so that they can frame the shot with
mando and also have baby yoda in the scene without having to cut to a
different shot of him standing at boot level on the ground
like you're seeing both of their faces in the same shot without him having to
pick him up and carry him around but notice the posture pedro pascal
actually did say that he evolved the way that he performs the mandalorian when
he's underneath all that armor because a lot of it just involves his
body language because you can't see his face you can't see his mouth
move and usually most audiences look to that first when they're trying to get
into a character this is cara dune it actually seems like
it's on a different planet because the background architecture and color scheme
are totally different she seems like a lot of her time during
season 2 is spent mostly around navarro now with greef carga
since she accepted his offer to become his enforcer in exchange for him helping
clear her record with the new republic because her whole thing was that she was
still marked as a deserter when she joined them she used to be a new
republic shock trooper but then deserted i can't tell if this is greef carga on a
ship or still on navarro i'm assuming this is him just back on navarro during
a meeting with mando or someone else he didn't leave the planet during season
one so i don't know if that trend is going to continue into season 2
but his activities running the bounty hunters guild don't really call for him
to fly all over the galaxy himself so much
this is the first look at moff gideon in season 2. he seems like he's on the
bridge of what is probably his imperial star destroyer flagship
giancarlo esposito did talk a lot about what's going on with him during season 2
so i'll get into that he didn't say how big the force he
commands is or how many ships he has in his fleet but it's probably pretty
decent size you can just tell from the lights in the
control bank in the background it's just that signature look of an imperial
capital ship the really cool thing he said about his
storyline during season 2 is that he'd be going toe to toe with mando like they
would actually be having one-on-one fights with the darksaber
he referred to their fights as iconic battles but he also said that he'd be
manipulating the mando mentally he said and i'm quoting him
maybe there's an opportunity to get him to fight some battles
for me you may think i'm the villain i'm trying to harness some energy and some
powers for a path that could be best for all you get to
see him be somewhat diplomatic and more of a manipulator so i think
that's just making references to emperor palpatine trying to move chess pieces
around the galactic board manipulating people into doing things for him without
realizing it that just implies that he's going to try
and get mando to take care of some problems for him
in the territory that he's trying to control in and around navarro
he does refer to the dark saber as a lightsaber there are a lot of people i
think that were confused about that maybe if you didn't watch the clone wars
or you're not really up on star wars lore
the dark saber really is just a different type of lightsaber that was
created by an ancient mandalorian the very first mandalorian to ever become a
jedi new jedi each make their own lightsabers
as just part of the custom but when it came time for this first mandalorian
jedi to make his lightsaber he used a different type of crystal
different type of architecture so it has very different properties from other
lightsabers but it is itself just another different type of lightsaber you
don't actually have to be force sensitive to use it but maf gideon did
imply that he himself has a strange connection to the force which i think
just implies that he himself is force sensitive on some level but was never
trained as a jedi when he was talking about the resources
that moff gideon has he says hint hint larger vehicle i think he's
just talking about an imperial star destroyer because that would be the
go-to thing an imperial moth would want in the
remnants of the empire if you're trying to grasp for resources
that would be one of the first things that you would go for
this is just a different scene amando and baby yoda also on tatooine notice
him here in the little pouch on the back of the speeder
it seems like it has some tracking device attached to it probably just as a
security measure someone put a bell on that kid in case
he runs off the speeder bike is the same model
of speeder bike that they were using during season 1 episode 5
and all the sand in the background the color of the buildings there's also the
scene of the tuscan raider on his bantha which should be a dead giveaway for
tatooine this is all probably something to do
with the boba fett storyline because that's the last place that we saw him
in episode five in that in credit scene with mingna's body there's no way of
knowing which episodes these all come from but i'm assuming they're from the
earlier episodes since they probably wouldn't want to give away any
big spoilers from where they go in the later episodes
other than the general moff gideon battles that they get into probably
towards the end of the season this background landscape with all the
volcanic rock makes most people think of mustafar but i think it's just meant to
reference the volcanic landscape from navarro at the end of last season
and this is just mando and baby yoda looking like they're walking around on
foot normally with him riding that same pouch from the end of season one
during the entertainment weekly article they confirm rosario dawson ahsoka tahno
katie sackoff Bo Katan Kryze temuera morrison is boba fett, timothy
olyphant and michael beihn i believe that michael beihn is playing
another older bounty hunter i don't know if he's playing someone big from the
star wars canon though and for those of you that are hoping
that at some point dave filoni himself within the world of star wars
and lucasfilm will take a bigger supervisory role john favreau actually
did say how critical dave filoni was to the mandalorian
season one going so well they said that when they were working on
stories together he was as you would expect the sort of lore keeper the
person who kept it being star wars they also
said that in addition to spending a lot of time talking about the movies because
obviously the series takes a lot of inspiration from the original trilogy
they also spent a lot of time talking about the clone wars
when they were making the episodes you could see some of that reflected in the
easter eggs like you have the death watch mandalorians from the clone wars
showing up in all the mandalorian flashbacks during the period that covers
the clone wars one of the other big things they said
that has changed between season one and season 2
is just the way they use baby yoda in the episodes and practically the way
they film him this is the during season one they just
weren't sure how much to use him but because everything went so well now
they're actually structuring a lot of the way that they filmed things
around baby yoda he's almost like the centerpiece the real
star of the show but what's probably going to happen in the next two weeks or
so they'll drop the official season 2 trailer of course i'll do a video for
that when it drops there's also supposed to be the dune trailer tomorrow so as
long as you have alerts enabled for my channel you'll see all those videos when
