In season 2, The Mandalorian (played by Pedro Pascal) continues his quest to bring The Child to the Jedi. This was as good as the first one.
This continues to be an excellent show with almost cinema-quality appearance and entertaining action, stories, and characters. I appreciate that whereas the first season was sort of one big long tease that didn't answer any of its mysteries or questions, this one is payoff city. Plus, fans will be pleased to see a lot more fan service to the wider Star Wars universe here. But, it doesn't feel shoved in or pulls you out of the story. If you're unfamiliar with various characters or references from the various movies or animated television programs, don't worry. The show manages to introduce them without expecting you to be already familiar. The story is from the Mandalorian's viewpoint, and he's new to much of the people and places he's visited.
Again, the show consists of stand-alone episodes, but there is a stronger connecting thread between them this time around. There is a greater emphasis on the supporting players.
The one weak spot here, the same as before, is that this show's homage to westerns and samurai films can at times be a little too obvious.
Highly recommended. This was another round of great storytelling.
