THE MANDALORIAN Season 2 Will Feature "Major, Major, Epic, Epic Lightsaber Action"
Most Star Wars fans agree that the first season of The Mandalorian was awesome, and I haven't heard anyone complain about the lack of lightsaber fight sequences. But at the ends of the season when we saw Giancarlo Esposito’s Moff Gideon emerge with the Darksaber, fans lost their shit! You can bet your ass you’re going to see more lightsaber action in Season 2, and Esposito teased the epic awesomeness we can expect and a recent Fan Expo in Vancouver:
“The prop guys are wondering about me because I was in a bit of a commotion and a bit of a struggle with someone else, which I’m hoping you will enjoy when you see it. Major, major, epic, epic lightsaber action happening on this show, and I should mention that I’m the only character in this first season who was able to be honored with having that lightsaber. So it feels wonderful.”
Major, major, epic, epic lightsaber action? Sounds good to me! When asked whether or not Moff Gideon would face off with a lightsaber-wielding Din Djarin or Baby Yoda, the actor said:
"Well, no way. [Laughs]. It ain’t gonna happen, baby! Anything is possible, and you keep watching. Because although the baby has some incredible power, without having to wield the Darksaber, I think the baby is so curious about what this is. So you will be enthused and inspired when you see the scene I’m referring to in Season 2, which is to come in October. Keep watching."
The Mandalorian Season 2 is going to premiere on Disney+ later this year in October, and it can’t get here soon enough! I can’t wait to see what Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, and their creative team are going to deliver next season!
