Casting has yet to be announced for the show, but he was origi- nally played by Billy Dee Williams and most recently by Donald Glover in 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story. This official behind-the-scenes companion to the Disney+ Star Wars series The Mandalorian features exclusive concept art, character and costume sketches, and vehicle and creature designs. But its hard to be more specific than that. Writer and producer Justin Simien ( Dear White People) is in the early stages of develop- ing this series centered on smooth-talking smuggler Lando Calrissian. The short and most useful answer is, The Mandalorian season 2 is set 5 years after Return of the Jedi, but 25 years before Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Here’s what we do know: Filming began in fall 2021 and, besides Mando, we’ll see the return of bounty hunter ally Greef Karga ( Carl Weathers) and- likely-vengeful baddie Moff Gideon ( Giancarlo Esposito), who is surely not pleased that he’s lost Grogu as well. He took the adorable but powerful alien Grogu away from his Mandalorian protector (Pascal) for training, but we can only hope these two won’t stay apart for long. We’re still gobsmacked almost a year after the sight of a lightsaber-swaying Luke Skywalker (a digitally de-aged Mark Hamill), who appeared in the Season 2 finale. Throughout their history, several types of Mandalorian warriors came into existance, such as Mandalorian crusaders, rally masters, and Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders, all of who waged war on the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order, conflicts that according to legends, involved a Mand'alor who went by the name of Mandalore the Great.
