The trailer for the wildly popular Star Wars spinoff series premiered September 15 on Twitter. While the preview of the season offered plenty of footage of the title character and his famous pal journeying through the galaxy, it also shed some light on their mission: To return Baby Yoda to the Jedi.

In one of the trailer’s key scenes, a mysterious, hooded figure is seen at a crowded spaceport — right at the same moment the Mandalorian is told to look for the Jedi — only to disappear a second later. Popular speculation points to the character being fan-favorite character Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker’s apprentice in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, who will make her live-action debut in season 2. Fans have also suggested it could be Mandalorian warrior Sabine Wren, who is also rumored to be making the jump from the Star Wars Rebels animated series to the live-action world in the upcoming season.

Season 2 of The Mandalorian will premiere this fall on Disney+, continuing the adventures of the titular bounty hunter portrayed by Pedro Pascal and his adorable, Force-wielding companion, officially known as “The Child” (but better known as Baby Yoda).

Along with giving the Disney streaming service its first bona fide hit, the first season of The Mandalorian also earned an impressive 15 Primetime Emmy Award nominations earlier this year, including one in the Outstanding Drama Series category.

The second season of The Mandalorian is expected to bring back more characters from season 1 in addition to Din Djarin and Baby Yoda, while also introducing several new cast members and popular characters from Star Wars lore.

Temuera Morrison, who portrayed Jango Fett in 2002’s Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones, will reportedly portray the iconic bounty hunter Boba Fett in the series. Rosario Dawson is also reported to be playing Ahsoka Tano, while Battlestar Galactica actress Katee Sackhoff will play the live-action version of Bo-Katan Kryze, the Clone Wars character she voiced in the aforementioned animated series.

January 1, 2023. That is when the final episode of Yellowstone season 5, part 1 aired. It's been a long time since the Dutton Family has been on Paramount Network, but their hiatus will end in November with the premiere of Yellowstone season 5, part 2.

With filming underway, the Yellowstone cast and crew released a special featurette, taking fans behind the scenes of the upcoming episodes. Everyone involved in the sneak peek reiterated the same two points: the break between parts 1 and 2 has been too long, and the cast is ready to release new episodes.

Cassian stands by a hillside in Andor season 1.

It looks like Lucasfilm may have accidentally revealed the long-awaited premiere date for Andor season 2, and on the Disney+ mobile app, no less. Early Saturday morning, some eagle-eyed users noticed a new date attached to the bottom of the app's Andor streaming tile. The date in question promises that Andor season 2 is coming April 22, 2025.

It isn't just possible but likely that this Disney+ update was made earlier than Lucasfilm planned. Not only was it added to the streaming service's mobile app with no accompanying announcement or comment from Lucasfilm, but Disney is also in the midst of hosting its D23 Brazil convention this weekend. The event has already given fans their first look at Diego Luna's Cassian Andor in Andor season 2, and it's possible that the show's return date was being saved for D23 Brazil as well.

Voros joked that not even Marvel worked as hard as Yellowstone did to keep everything a secret.
