It’s worth keeping in mind that The Mandalorian season 2 should push us further into the timeline towards the events of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. Here's hoping we get some backstory as to how Gideon got his hands on one. If Sackoff's casting as Bo-Katan Kryze is true, then she could play a big part in that tale. Gideon possessing the Darksaber is significant, as the unique, black-light lightsaber was first forged by Tarre Vizsla, the first-ever Mandalorian Jedi. We also know that Moff Gideon survived his TIE Fighter crash at the hands of Din and is packing a deadly Darksaber, which could make things very hairy for Greef and Cara. That should lead to some fun and dysfunctional buddy-cop action, especially since Cara doesn’t seem too fond of the grizzled bounty hunter. Weathers told EW that the two grow close enough to "almost finish each other’s sentences." Meanwhile, we know that Greef and Cara are sticking around on Nevarro, and that Greef would like Cara to be his enforcer within the Guild. That could set up some very interesting interactions and huge universe-spanning revelations, and may set the stage for more Force wielders - and even Jedi - to make an appearance in season 2. Season 1 ends with Din Djarin setting off with The Child to find its home world and hopefully discover the mysterious, tiny green species that it and Yoda belong to. We don’t have an official synopsis for The Mandalorian season 2 just yet, but the season 1 finale sets up some obvious plot threads. She was also heard by Rey as a Jedi voice in Rise of Skywalker (in all three cases, voiced by Ashley Eckstein).


There's one bit of casting news we didn't mention above: SlashFilm reported that Rosario Dawson will play a live-action version of Ahsoka Tano, the padawan apprentice of Anakin Skywalker, who has only been seen as an animated chararcter in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels.Įarlier this year, Dawson told Variety that it's "not confirmed yet but when that happens, I will be very happy." She went on to add "I’m very excited for that to be confirmed at some point" and said it would be "a million and one percent because of the fans."
