Welcome back everyone it's charlie this is going to be my new star wars the
mandalorian season 2 video we have a bunch of big announcements they finally
reveal the release date we know what's going on with the trailer
they confirm some of the big characters and details so we'll break it all down
there's a whole bunch of easter eggs of course i'll be doing videos for all
the episodes when it gets here so be sure to subscribe to get all those i'll
do a disney plus giveaway too all you have to do to enter is be a subscriber
and let me know what you want them to do during season 2 or what you hoped that
they did during season 2 because all the episodes are already done
but just going down the list starting with number five the mandalorian season
2 episode 1 is starting october 30th if that seems a
little bit later than you expected they confirmed it would be october earlier
this year but they didn't say when i'll explain why that is because they
made a couple big changes to all the stuff that's happening on disney
plus for basically the second half of the year because of the virus
there are eight episodes total just like season one and the finale is going to come
in the middle of december so the mandalorian season 2 will basically
run through the rest of the year if you're a big fan of the marvel avengers
stuff the disney plus series they have like falcon and winter soldier in one
division that are coming to disney plus later this year or that we're supposed
to i'll explain that at the end of the video
but if you are in a deep sarlacc pit of despair because 2020 has been such a
crap year john favreau already revealed that
they're well underway on the mandalorian season 3 production
and there won't be any major delays with getting season 3 episodes out by the end
of next year right now for instance they're actually
using the outdoor sets from the mandalorian season 2 to get ready to
film the star wars obi-wan kenobi series i know there's a lot of rumors about
hayton christensen coming back for duel darth vader and anakin skywalker
flashbacks darth maul coming back for that
other people like ahsoka temuera morrison coming back as rex
but number four the major new characters in the new story of the mandalorian
season 2 they finally confirmed moth gideon capturing baby yoda as part
of his larger experiments in cloning in force
sensitive clones the darksaber his history with the mandalorian people the
great purge and the reveal that he himself is force
sensitive it shouldn't be a big surprise he's
written and designed to be the darth vader of the series he wears black armor
just like darth vader flies a special tie fighter just like darth vader even
though his is called the thai outlander or it was until the mandalorian blew it
up he also wears a space cape and wields a
lightsaber just like darth vader people refer to it as the dark saber but
it is just another type of lightsaber the way giancarlo esposito explains it
is that maf gideon has a strong connection to the force but he himself
wasn't trained to be a jedi or a sith he's not like a failed padawan that
escaped order 66 like during jedi fallen order
the emperor had special programs for force sensitive children that it
captured and indoctrinated most of them were twisted using sith
tech and severe psychological conditioning to become either
inquisitors or dark side assassins who just existed as part of
their own special black ops branch of the empire
a lot of the animated series like star wars the clone wars
rebels the games like star wars jedi fallen order explore
those characters a lot more but during the regular imperial era during the
reign of the emperor in the original trilogy of movies
in the period covering the mandalorians great purge moff gideon was still just a
regular officer in the imperial security bureau
test with handling the sector of space that included the planet mandalore
so number three he's around his early 50s in the events of the mandalorian
series so working back in that timeline from that he would have
started his career as a regular republic junior officer
during the prequel era of movies before the rise of the emperor
that means that even if he were force sensitive at the time he never went
through any official jedi training because back then
the jedi temple was still very active the jedi order it was before order 66
and they never took adult padawans so he would have never
been trained as a jedi or anything like that so that's how he flew under the
emperor's radar when it came to being a force-sensitive person working in the
military by giancarlo esposito says that maf
gideon is very studied in his academic knowledge and historical knowledge of
the force he appreciates it as an idea he's obsessed with harnessing
its power to achieve his goals in reunifying the galaxy under a new empire
of course led by him like he respects the force but it's just a means to an
end for him that's where his connection to the
darksaber comes in so he's not just a regular really powerful imperial moth
that's stealing ancient artifacts just because he thinks they
look cool the darksaber for him is sort of a symbol of what he thinks his own
potential is like i'm force sensitive think of the evil villain monologue that
gives me great power and with that great power i'm going to bring my own order to
the galaxy the darksaber itself within the history
of the mandalorian culture has always been used
symbolically as a sign of leadership as well it as a member of the imperial
security bureau he's tasked with information gathering so he's spent a
lot of time reading about the history of the galaxy in the history of cultures in
the galaxy that they're busy going around conquering
number two ahsoka is listed on the imdb for episode
1 but that can be unreliable because anybody can edit imdb
i don't know how many episodes she's going to be in exactly but probably not
every single one each different episode tends to be its
own separate adventure or bounty with just a loose
continuity between them in a basic character arc with a couple of
characters reappearing in most of the episodes like greef carga or cara dune
boba fett will be featured obviously but he's only supposed to appear
a little i believe the concept is is that he's not going to be in that many
episodes during season 2 but he'll be a bigger
character during the mandalorian season three and more of an antagonist for the
mandalorian during season three so if you've been
getting hyped up for the mandalorian versus boba fett it sounds like they're
building up to that because baked into the whole concept of
the series they even said i think it was cara dunes character that repeated the
lines the mandalorians aren't a people they're a creed it's all about this way
of life that they live by and boba fett is sort of like a
pretender mandalorian just wearing their armor the funny thing is though is that
during the series because this is after return of the jedi he's climbed out of
the sarlacc pit he does not actually wear his classic
trademark armor from the original trilogy so they'll explain that during
season 2 timothy olyphant is also starring during the season
he was actually supposedly seen on set wearing boba fett's armor but because
temuera morrison is playing boba fett during the series
a lot of people theorize that timothy olyphant is actually playing a character
from the aftermath novel called cobb vanth which deals with what happens to
boba fett after he crawls out of the sarlacc he's basically a sheriff of a
town in tatooine near the sarlacc pit he buys
boba fett's armor off of a bunch of jawas and just wears it in the normal
line of duty as he is a sheriff so that's why during the mandalorian
season 1 episode 5 when you see this post credit scene with boba fett with
those special spurs on his boots walking up just clinking inspecting
mienna's body but he's not wearing the trademark
mandalorian armor from the original trilogy
katee sackhoff is also supposed to be coming back to play
Bo Katan Kryze she did the voice for that character during the clone wars and
during star wars rebels she's the last known wielder
of the darksaber before the original trilogy events so if mob gideon stole it
from someone he stole it from her so either she'll be featured in
flashbacks for the great purge or for a context
or she'll show up in present day if she's still alive in present day
number one though getting to the baby yoda of it all big thing finally meeting
another former jedi ahsoka because that was the big mission
that he was tasked with find his kind also trying to find out where he came
from as well which is sort of a separate task
i know everyone's still posting all the memes of mori povich and yoda with
yaddle like where did he come from who are his parents
yoda probably isn't his father it's probably just two other creatures of his
race it's just that they're so rare that when a new one is found
in the galaxy it's a huge huge deal when you think about how old baby yoda
actually is he's in his 50s he's actually about the same age as anakin
skywalker would be so he would have been born sometime
before the events of the prequels since it's a new season we'll also
probably see him using surprise new force powers that nobody knew that he
had he's already used basic telekinesis to
lift the mud horn he's used force push to block the fire
the season one finale he's used force choke on cara dune
and he used force heal on greef carga which is a pretty advanced ability
there are a billion different types of force abilities that are really cool
and visually stunning that they could roll out on the show but the biggest one
if we're talking about original trilogy easter eggs and references
would just be basic mind control basic jedi mind trick
i don't think we're going to see him use any kind of crazy force lightning since
that's viewed as more of a sith technique and very very aggressive
and his hands are way too tiny to actually work a lightsaber but giancarlo
esposito says that baby yoda does have scenes with him when he's using the
darksaber like a fight scene and baby yoda is just completely fascinated by it
like what is that shiny thing i wanna touch it so bad
please give it to me but like i mentioned earlier in the video the big
thing about them scheduling the mandalorian to start at the end of
october and running it through the end of the
year is probably because marvel will not wind up releasing falcon in winter
soldier or wandavision episodes until the beginning of next year at the
earliest but the big news with the mandalorian
season 2 trailer that's probably going to come in the next two weeks for those
of you wondering when we're going to get new footage
i'll be sure to post that when they release it and i'll be doing bonus
videos for the series as they make more announcements so leave all your video
