  • The Art of The Mandalorian Season 2
    Jun 26 2025

    Join Children of the Watch as we continue our dive into the behind-scenes development of The Mandalorian! In preparation for our Mandalorian Rewatch, we're using the incredible Art of The Mandalorian Season 2 book by Phil Szostak as a jumping off point to discuss the continuing adventures of Din, Grogu, Greef, Bo-Katan, Boba Fett, and more.

    How did the massive Luke Skywalker cameo come about for the finale? Why did Filoni decide to firmly root Ahsoka's live action introduction in the Samurai genre? Could a lack of information on the Imperial cloning lab tell us more while reading between the lines? How did Cobb Vanth make the jump from page to screen? All of this and more.

    Next week, we begin the Mandalorian Rewatch!
