STAR WARS fans can rejoice: the wait for new episodes of the Disney+ series "The Mandalorian" is over. Starting October 30, there will be a new episode of the acclaimed series from the STAR WARS universe available to stream every Friday for eight weeks. The series is set in the aftermath of the original trilogy: the second Death Star has been destroyed, the Emperor is dead, and the Galactic Empire has fallen. Lawlessness has now spread to some parts of the galaxy. In this harsh world, a lone warrior, the Madalorian (Pedro Pascal), has made a name for himself as a bounty hunter.
Still following the mission to bring the child - known only affectionately by fans as "Baby Yoda" - to his own. To find out where to find them, he needs help. This could give him another Mandalorian, who supposedly lives on Tatooine. But when he finds the other bounty hunter, he's in for a solid surprise - and a very voracious monster.
Season 2 of the series kicks off right with a real bang. Chapter 9 of the series, once again directed by Jon Favreau, features the clearest references to the original trilogy to date and, in addition to some familiar characters, holds a fat surprise for fans towards the end (you definitely need to have seen the prequel trilogy to understand this one). In addition, the episode offers great effects, which again include the novel StageCraft technique. This involves projecting the environment and backgrounds onto large LCD video screens, which then looks to the viewer as if the respective scenes were shot on location and not in the studio.
It's a promising start to the second season, which alone makes a Disney+ subscription absolutely worthwhile! The good news is that Season 3 is already in (pre)production.
The cast of "The Mandalorian" includes Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers and Giancarlo Esposito. The directors for the new season are Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rick Famuyiwa, Carl Weathers, Peyton Reed and Robert Rodriguez. Showrunner Jon Favreau serves as executive producer along with Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy and Colin Wilson with Karen Gilchrist as co-executive producer.
