While the release window is about all we know ofย The Mandalorian’sย second season, Favreau might have given a small hint in his tweet. Along with the release date, he posted a photo of a green-skinned pig man known as Gamorreans. Fans ofย Star Warsย might recognize these creatures fromย Return of the Jedi,ย where they guarded Jabba the Hutt’s palace. So, maybe a familiar face will make an appearance?
Excitingly enough, Jon Favreau also plans to direct an episode of the upcoming season. Carl Weathers, who plays Greef Karga in The Mandalorian, also intends to join Bryce Dallas Howard as one of the show’s guests directors.
Luckily,ย Star Warsย fans have some exciting things on the horizon to keep them busy until next fall. Obviously,ย Rise of the Skywalkerย is in theaters now, andย Star Wars Jedi: The Fallen Order is available on PlayStation 4,
