The Mandalorian season ii is almost here — and give thanks the stars, because we take questions. The Disney Plus series is dorsum with more action-packed adventures in store for the titular compensation hunter and The Kid (aka the adorable Baby Yoda). In improver to those adventures, though, nosotros're hoping to get some answers from The Mandalorian season ii.

The Mandalorian enraptured viewers with its Western-style accept on the Star Wars universe. The story followed Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), a Mandalorian bounty hunter who inadvertently takes on the protection of The Child. The little one looks like a infant version of Yoda and exhibits similar, though nascent abilities with The Force. No wonder it was a highly valuable target for remnants of the Empire.

Now that the Mandalorian universe and its primal players are established, flavor 2 is fix to expand and deepen the show'due south mythology. Mando and Baby Yoda will discover new faces, new planets and new bug. But it looks similar they'll also come across people and places that are very familiar to Star Wars fans.

Here are the top five called-for questions we desire answered in The Mandalorian season 2.

ane. Will the Mandalorian and Clone Wars worlds collide?

The Mandalorian has already made many references to Star Wars catechism. Mando and Baby Yoda visited Tatooine, Jawas fabricated things a bit difficult for the bounty hunter and the standing presence of Stormtroopers betoken the Empire even so wields power over pockets of the galaxy.

But The Mandalorian season ii may fold in even more Star Wars lore, by bringing in known characters from The Clone Wars animated series. Rosario Dawson has been rumored for months to play Ahsoka Tano, formerly the padawan apprentice of Anakin Skywalker. This would mark Ahsoka's first live-action appearance in the Star Wars franchise.

Every bit to why Ahsoka might come into play, Mando is on a mission to find Baby Yoda'due south people — the Jedi. There aren't too many left, after the Empire'south Order 66 massacre. But the bear witness'southward timeframe, Ahsoka is out there somewhere.

2. Does another famous compensation hunter appear?

Another juicy slice of casting news: Temuera Morrison is on board for The Mandalorian season 2, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Morrison played Jango Fett in 2002's Star Wars: Attack of the Clones and is said to be playing the infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett.

In one of the trailers, Mando says, "If I can locate other Mandalorians, they can guide me." That may be why he encounters Boba Fett, who has quite a bit of knowledge of the Jedi. He'south seen Luke Skywalker (still alive at this time) in activity and has served Darth Vader.

3. How did Moff Gideon become the Darksaber?

In the season 1 finale, Mando and Infant Yoda barely escaped the clutches of Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) when the latter crashed in his TIE fighter. He survived, though, and emerges from the wreckage using the Darksaber.

The legendary weapon from Mandalore has passed through several easily, notably those of Darth Maul, Sabine Wren and Bo-Katan Kryze. In Star Wars: Rebels, Sabine gave the Darksaber to Bo-Katan, in the promise that she could unite the Mandalorian clans.

So, how did the Darksaber get from Bo-Katan to Moff Gideon? We accept a feeling it has to do with the "Great Purge" of Mandalore, aka the "night of a m tears." Did Gideon receive the weapon as a bays for enacting the Great Purge?

The rumor is that Battlestar Galactica alum Katee Sackhoff has been bandage as Bo-Katan in The Mandalorian season 2, so information technology's very possible we'll get answers to these questions.

The trailer for The Mandalorian flavor 2 shows Mando's send aslope some New Republic X-wings. Are they escorting the Razor Crest — or chasing it? After all, in season one episode 6, Mando took part in a heist to gratuitous a prisoner on a New Republic transport transport. Surely, they aren't too happy about that.

While Mando isn't fond of the Empire (especially later on the standoff with Moff Gideon), he doesn't owe allegiance to the New Commonwealth, either. He hasn't heard great things almost them from former shock trooper and friend Cara Dune (Gina Carano). And Mando generally doesn't like being told what to do.

v. What is Baby Yoda's proper noun?

Babe Yoda is referred to equally The Kid in-universe and by Disney, and we don't even know if it'due south male person or female (or nonbinary). But until The Child gets a real name, we will all refer to it as Baby Yoda. Come up on, Mando — you're their new dad at present. Requite the kid a proper name!
