Before the new season starts, here are some things you need to know to get up to speed.
The Story So Far
The first season of The Mandalorian begins with the story of the titular character (Din Djarin), a space bounty hunter who takes on contracts to kill or capture targets. He is tasked to hunt down The Child/Grogu, a mysterious youngling. Upon meeting The Child, The Mandalorian decides to go on the run and not honor the contract. This leads to a journey that becomes a fight for survival as they try to take down The Client, the man responsible for putting up the contract.
This ends with them making an enemy out of Moff Gideon, who was a part of the Galactic Empire that once ruled the galaxy. The Mandalorian and the Child then formed a new clan as they set off on a journey to learn more about the latter’s true origins.
Season 2 of The Mandalorian takes a heart-wrenching turn when the adorable Grogu is taken captive by the enemy. However, the series of events that follow will keep you on the edge of your seat: Din Djarin embarks on a daring mission to rescue his young companion, and a fierce battle ensues between him and the nefarious Moff Gideon. The stunning climax sees Djarin emerging victorious, armed with the coveted Darksaber and having saved Grogu. But as the season concludes, Grogu expresses a desire to become a Jedi, and with a heavy heart, Din Djarin bids his beloved ward a tearful goodbye.
Grogu’s Origin & Powers
Undoubtedly one of the show’s brightest stars, Grogu takes center stage in the second season of The Mandalorian. We are privy to some of his mysterious past, including his identity as a former Jedi trainee, thanks to the revelations made by Ahsoka Tano. Throughout the season, we witness the young force wielder’s powers growing stronger and his confidence growing. Grogu proves to be an invaluable asset to Din Djarin, assisting him in combat with telepathy, telekinesis, and even the power to heal wounds, calm wild beasts and conceal his abilities to evade danger.
While the second season shared more information about Grogu’s origins, the mystery of who rescued him when he was younger remains.
Who Will Claim the Darksaber?
A legendary weapon from Din Djarin’s home planet of Mandalore, its holder can claim the right to rule the planet. Realizing the power that this weapon holds, he has the choice to stake his claim. However, Bo-Katan, one of his trusted allies, is Mandalore’s rightful heir and needs the Darksaber
