It makes sense that a show called The Mandalorian - singular, not plural - would have only one Mandalorian on screen on a regular basis, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't get more Mandalorian characters in season 2.

Don't get me wrong, the characters we did get were just fine, but there just wasn't much to them. Hell, at least we know Din's NAME, which is way more than we can say for the other Mandalorians we see in season 1.

This is probably why they're bringing back Boba Fett - and supposedly doing the same for Sabine Wren - for season 2, to give the show more Mandalorian presence. But putting in already established characters to pick up the main cast's slack is approaching J.J. Abrams territory, and last I checked, we wanted to avoid that stretch of land, so this show needs more Mandalorian characters to call its own.

It doesn't need many, it doesn't even need more than 5, but by god it needs more Mandalorian characters who have actual names besides what their job is. And also their faces, we should also see their faces too. Very important.
