“The Mandalorian” just keeps getting better as the second season is even better than the first one. Set in the “Star Wars” galaxy, things just keep getting more exciting with even more impressive production values. This season tries to tie things a little closer to other “Star Wars” films and shows. That’s something I’ve generally been against but it’s just done so well here.
The Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal “The Equaliser 2”) continues to escort a strange lifeform with force powers as he tries to find the Jedi. Along the way, he must battle against an array of monsters and other foes and finds himself joining forces with allies both old and new. Can he finally ensure that the creature he has been protecting will be safe?
We discovered at the end of the first series that the mysterious Mandalorian is Din Djarin. He’s just clearly one of the best characters in the whole “Star Wars” franchise. This season contains some familiar faces as we see Carl Weathers (“Predator”) among those that return. We also see plenty of new faces. Rosario Dawson (“Clerks 2”) is entertaining in one particular episode. However, the highlight might be seeing Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison “Once Were Warriors”) back and being so darn cool. Baby Yoda is just as adorable as ever. There are so many terrific creatures in this series that it reminded me very much of the original trilogy.
As much as I loved the first season of “The Mandalorian”, the second one just improves everything to the point where this might just be the best “Star Wars” movie or show since the original trilogy. It’s really wonderful has this spin-off continues to enrich the already rich galaxy of “Star Wars” with its spectacular action sequences and high levels of creativity. If you enjoyed the first season, you are going to love the second one.
