The Mandalorian's second season will officially be released on Disney+ on October 30, 2020. The announcement came from Twitter with some new title art of The Mandalorian himself and The Child (Baby Yoda!), and the words, "This is the day. New episodes start streaming Oct. 30 on [HASH=694]#DisneyPlus[/HASH]. [HASH=695]#TheMandalorian.[/HASH]" [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=an-adorable-gallery-of-baby-yoda&captions=true"] The Mandalorian's first season aired its final episode on December 27, 2019, and, in our review, we said "Every show needs time to find its footing in its first season, and The Mandalorian’s roughest edges - its wild shifts in tone, derivative standalone episodes, and clunky dialogue - are arguably exacerbated by the shortened episode order and weekly release schedule... But when the show is firing on all cylinders - as in its opening and closing run of episodes - it channels all the fun, escapism, and yes, earnest heart (or, if you prefer, occasional cheesiness) of the Original Trilogy." Season 1 aired its episodes weekly, and saw The Child / Baby Yoda take over our galaxy.

We've done a deep dive into the history of this weapon, which was previously owned by Star Wars: The Clone Wars' Bo-Katan Kryze, who will reportedly be played by Katee Sackhoff in season 2, and Star Wars Rebels' Sabine Wren. Now, it has somehow found its way into Giancarlo Esposito's Moff Gideon. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Have a tip for us? Want to discuss a possible story?
