The day we have all been waiting for is finally here!
The trailer for the Mandalorian Season 2 has finally dropped and it has revealed some incredible
new details about the the Mando’s journey in season 2.
So I’m going to breakdown everything we know about the Mandalorian Season 2 trailer,
including some awesome connections to the Clone Wars, Rebels, Jedi Fallen Order and
the Star Wars novels.
So before we get into it, make sure you absolutely force crush the subscribe button for more

The trailer begins with the Razor Crest flying over an unknown Gas Giant, with a small moon
nearby.
I did see a lot of you guys saying that this was Yavin Prime and Yavin 4, but I don’t
think so because Yavin prime is more of a reddish colour.
There is also a blueish, green moon very close by, which would be Yavin 4 if this gas giant
is Yavin Prime, but for now I’m not too sure.
It could also be Endor, and the Forest Moon of Endor, since they are both very similar
in color to the two we see here and we know Mandalorian season 2 is only set 5 or 6 years
after the Battle of Endor.
The Razorcrest also does appear to be slightly damaged in this shot, with it’s cargo door
stuck open, so maybe it has to land somewhere quickly for repairs.
Either way, you guys let me know what you think down below!
Following that we see Din Djarin and the child on what looks to be a desert world, like Nevarro,
but there are a lot of city lights in the background, pointing to somewhere slightly
more populated.
Now I’m going to make a huge call here and say this is possible a drier area of the planet
Lothal, the homeworld of Ezra Bridger and the focus of a big part of Star Wars rebels.
This is backed up by the next shot where Din Djarin and the Child are walking through a
dry street with Graffiti and city lights.
If any of you guys have seen Rebels, you’ll definitely get a feeling that this is an eerily
similar location.
The architecture of the buildings and the street lights certainly match what we’ve
seen from Lothal in Star Wars Rebels, so it honestly wouldn’t surprise me if Mando was
sent there to find a certain Rebel Mandalorian who features later in the trailer, which I’ll
break down very shortly.
But again, this is just a wild theory, and the location is probably somewhere else.
In this shot, you can also see some red eyes peeking out from a small dark space to the
left of the Mandalorian.
Now initially, I didn’t think this was a Jawa, because the ones that we’ve seen on
Tatooine usually had Yellow eyes, but the Jawas found on Arvala-7 actually have Red
eyes, probably evolving separately.
This could certainly point to the planet being Arvala-7, rather than Lothal, since Lothal
didn’t really have this much dryness and sand in the main streets.
After that, we get a shot which is one of the only places that we can say for certain.
This is almost definitely Tatooine, as we can see a Tusken Raider riding a massive Bantha,
as the Razorcrest flies in.
The shot itself doesn’t really give away anything, but the fact that we’re returning
to Tatooine once again is an almost sure sign that Boba Fett will be appearing the show,
as all of the rumours have said.
We do know from the aftermath series of Novels that Boba Fett’s armor was actually collected
by a self-proclaimed sheriff on Tatooine, called Cobb Vanth, who stole the armor and
wore it himself.
Because of this, the first time we see Boba Fett’s armour, it will almost certainly
be worn by Cobb Vanth, and maybe he’ll have a classic western showdown to take it back
from the imposter.
Either way, let me know how you think they will introduce Boba Fett in the Mandalorian
Season 2.
In the next shot, we get an absolutely massive scene, where Din Djarin is piloting the Razorcrest
above an icy world.
Initially, most of our minds would have gone straight to hoth, which is definitely still
a possibility, but more likely, I think this is Illum from The Clone Wars and Jedi Fallen
Order.
For those of you who don’t know, Ilum is a sacred Jedi planet that was used by the
Jedi Order for many generations to gather the Kyber crystals which powered their Lightsabers.
It was later invaded by the Empire, who mined the entire world for kyber crystals to power
the death star, and after that it was further destroyed, when the First Order took control
of it and turned it into StarKiller Base.
Star Killed base was of course destroyed in The Force Awakens, but the Mandalorian Season
2 is set many years before that, so it’s definitely possible.
Those of us who have watched the Jedi younglings Clone Wars arc and played through to Ilum
in Jedi Fallen order will probably feel that this place is very familiar to the starting
zone, where you have to navigate through rocky terrain to reach the sacred Jedi site.
As for within the Mandalorian Season 2 itself, I really think that Ahsoka or some other force
user is going to teach the Child the ways of the force, which of course includes scavenging
for your own Kyber crystal and building your own lightsaber, eventually.
The child may still be slightly too young and too short to hold even a shoto-lightsaber,
like Yoda’s at this point, so maybe he collects his crystal and wears it around his neck like
Lyra in Rogue one.
It is said that wearing a kyber crystal around your neck can have protective properties,
so maybe the child wears it along with his other necklace.
The look Din Djarin gives baby Yoda looks like he is reassuring him that everything
is going to be alright, almost like he’s just about to enter the ice caverns of Ilum
to search for his crystal.
Again if you haven’t seen the Clone Wars, when a youngling Jedi searches for their crystal
inside the Caverns, they have only until the star sets on the planet, or the ice barrier
covering the entrance will refreeze, trapping them inside.
After this, we cut straight to a fishing platform on the water world that we saw in the leaked
photos.
This confirms that it is definitely not Kamino, like a lot of people originally thought.
Although I don’t remember seeing too many above water platforms in the Mon Cala clone
wars Arc, there are a ton of Quarren and Mon Calamari working on these docks, which are
the native species of the planet, making it very possible that this is Mon Cala.
For those of you who don’t know, Mon Cala is a water world that has a very long and
rich history including many underwater battles during the Clone Wars, becoming home to Jedi
survivors after the great purge and also a major production site for Rebel alliance capital
ships, which are often converted from building towers on Mon Cala.
Now after this is a MAJOR reveal, and I’m absolutely so hyped to see this.
We can see Sasha Banks hiding in a dark robe on the fishing platform.
It’s pretty clear that she’s looking for Din Djarin and the Child, but we don’t exactly
know what character she is playing.
Most of the rumours before the trailer even released said that Sasha banks would be playing
Sabine in the show, so I personally think this is the most likely.
Although we can’t really see her usual coloured hair and Mandalorian armor from Star Wars
rebels, if she is undercover, which she looks to be, it’s pretty standard to change your
hair colour to a more discreet shade and change your outfit.
Either way, I think she is a great choice for Sabine if that does end up being right,
really good transition from Animation to live action with this one.
Others were also saying that this was Ahsoka, but we can immediately rule that out because
we don’t see any head tails, or face markings, and on top of that, we pretty much know that
Rosario dawson is playing Ahsoka, confirming this to be false.
If this mysterious hooded figure isn’t Sabine, then she could be a Jedi survivor of the great
purge, or someone more important than we realize.
Let me know what you think down below.
After that, Din Djarin boards a fishing vessel from the platform, probably to hunt whatever
bounty target he was sent there to find.
The Captain is a Quarren, which was hard to tell from the leaked photos, but it’s nice
to have that confirmed now.
After that, we get some X-Wings escorting the Razorcrest, which I think might be sometime
near Din Djarin’s final battle with Moff Gideon.
He’d definitely need a little more than just the Razorcrest to break through the defences
of Moff Gideon’s star Destroyer, which will see him in coming up very shortly.
After that, we see Greef Karga walking together with Cara Dune in his awesome new black, wealthy-looking
outfit, probably meaning that the bounty hunters guild is doing very well for itself.
Next we can see some tie fighters taking off from the ground, on what looks like Nevarro,
so I’d assume these are going back to dock with Moff Gideon’s star destroyer, which
we see in the next shot.
Here we see imperial remnant stormtroopers rushing down the corridor of Gideon’s star
Destroyer, in typical Star Wars fashion.
Honestly love this shot, so awesome to see!
It will be really awesome to finally see the true force of Moff Gideon in his Star Destroyer,
so let me know down below what you think it will be called.
Following that we see a person hanging from a street light on the same planet as before.
This is either Lothal, Corellia or some other planet, but it definitely seems to be getting
a lot of focus, and will certainly contain a few targets for mando to hunt.
Straight after that, we can see Mando bringin the Child into a cavern on the ice world,
which further backs up the Ilum theory, as it looks exactly like the caves from the Clone
Wars Ilum.
This is also probably another entrance to the caverns, as we know the Empire completely
obliterated the original, sacred Jedi entry point.
To end the trailer, we get an awesome scene with Din Drain completely obliterating a Zabrak
inside of a fight club with two Gamoerans fighting in a ring.
This will definitely be awesome to see and will look great once the full scene comes
together.
This could actually be on Tatooine, but again, Gamoreans were known to be located on other
places, so it could be anywhere.
As a side note, that is definitely Jon Favreau voicing the one eyes green alien that talks
to Din Djarin, again awesome to see.
So that is the full breakdown of the Mandalorian Season 2 trailer, including potential hints
at Sabine Wren, Ilum, Lothal, and Mon Cala.
Let me know what you think will happen in season 2 down below.
