The Mandalorian
is slowly opening up new corners of the Star Wars mythos, and it will get bigger moving forward. During Disney’s Investor Day 2020, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy announced two spinoff series in the form of
Ahsoka
and
Rangers of the New Republic
, and these shows will be set within the time period of
The Mandalorian
.
Ultimately, all three shows were
confirmed to crossover
for a massive
“event story”
sometime down the road, and
The Mandalorian
will no doubt set the precedent for that to happen. It’s no surprise that the arrival of the two spinoff shows was due to the success of the Jon Favreau-created show, and it will be interesting to see how this new interconnected universe on Disney+ will play out moving forward.

Right now,
The Mandalorian
is
entering its final stretch
in the already-successful sophomore run of the show, and the much-anticipated rematch between Mando and Moff Gideon will no doubt be at the forefront. As fans wait for the eventual confrontation, a new piece of promotional material for the show has arrived, and it promises an in-depth breakdown of the highly-talked-about second season.

The two new magazine covers provide an exciting look at some of the best moments of
The Mandalorian
Season 2, but the interesting takeaway from the reveal is Empire’s promise of a deep dive into the world of the Emmy-award winning show. As it is, it sounds exciting since it’s a safe bet that fans will uncover more hidden secrets from the series.
It isn’t surprising that the cover is primarily focused on the trio of Mando, Grogu, and Ahsoka Tano since “Chapter 13: The Jedi” provided notable moments that teased the future of the narrative trajectory of
The Mandalorian
Season 2 and beyond. Given that, it’s now evident that Ahsoka’s namedrop of Grand Admiral Thrawn is more than just a glorified Easter Egg, and it looks like that the Chiss tactician will be the endgame villain of
The Mandalorian
universe.

All in all,
The Mandalorian
is shaping up to be the most valuable piece in the Star Wars puzzle moving forward.
