The Mandalorian Season 2: Every Rumoured And Confirmed Character So Far

Series creator Jon Favreau's Season Two announcement was rather understated, comprising of an Instagram post of a model of a little-known Star Wars creature captured simply "Season 2 of #TheMandalorian coming Fall 2020".

The creature, for those not in the know, is a Gamorrean Guard, the threatening orc-like guards of Jabba's Palace only previously seen in Return Of The Jedi. Favreu's post, then, suggests Season Two will include a return to Tatooine.

While Jabba had long been dead by the start of The Mandalorian, there's a very exciting reason the show might choose to revisit Return Of The Jedi's iconic location. After all, Jabba's Palace wasn't very far from the Sarlaac Pit, where bounty hunter Boba Fett met his untimely death. Could we perhaps get a flashback, seeing just how Boba managed to escape a thousand years of what C-3PO charmingly called "a new definition of pain and suffering"?
