Fantasy, Science Fiction, Star Wars Universe, Epic

The second season of The Mandalorian definitely delivered. And there was a lot that the Star Wars franchise had to deliver, that is for certain. Just like season 1, this installment was a fantastic trip through fantasy worlds and appeals to Star Wars fans and non-fans alike--but, again, it helps to know the universe a little bit. Favreau does throw a lot of Easter eggs at viewers. In season 2 we get some answers and, of course, more questions are asked (season 3, please!) There is also much more character and relationship development, which I appreciated and found extremely interesting, especially in chapter 15: The Believer. Philosophical and moral dilemmas are brought up and we see our favorite bounty hunter wrestle with them. And the season finale is just...epic. Can't wait for more shows and another season!
