Fans ofThe Mandalorianare getting a little Christmas gift from Lucasfilm. A brand new special episode ofDisney Gallery: The Mandalorianwill be released on Disney+ Christmas Day, that will take a look back at season 2 of the live-actionStar Warsseries. The special was announced on Twitter with a poster for the episode, which features Mando in all of his glory, as well as a peek behind the camera. The poster was shared with the following caption.
“Go beyond #TheMandalorian. Disney Gallery: The Mandalorianreturns with a brand new special, ‘Making of Season Two,’ streaming Dec. 25 on #DisneyPlus.”
Following the premiere ofThe Mandalorianseason 1, Disney+ released the first installment ofDisney Gallery. The first installment consisted of multiple episodes, taking a look at different facets of the production, providing fans with a true window into how the first live-actionStar Warsseries in history came to be. As is often the case with behind-the-scenes content from Lucasfilm, the docuseries was compelling all on its own. In this case, the entirety of season 2 will be packed into a single special. It’s not clear, at this time, how long the special will be.
In this new installment of Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, Lucasfilm says that filmmakers and cast will provide “unprecedented access to the storytelling decisions and innovations that went into the second season of the Emmy Award-winning series.” The special will feature immersive on-set footage that will put viewers in the middle of the filmmaking process. It will also include rare insights from the cast and crew. The special documentary explores the production of all 8 episodes from season 2, from early concept art to the groundbreaking technology introduced in the series.
The special will air just a week afterThe Mandalorianseason 2 finale. While, as of this writing, it remains to be seen how things will wrap up for Mando andBaby Yoda, it has been a season packed with huge moments and major reveals. It finally brought Boba Fett back into theStar Warsfold after decades away following his unceremonious fall into the Sarlacc pit inReturn of the Jedi. We got the debut of Ahsoka Tano in live-action, as portrayed by Rosario Dawson, as well as Bo-Katan, played by Katee Sackhoff. There is much to explore and dissect.
Aside from theDisney+special,The Mandalorianseason 3 is already in the works and is expected to arrive in December 2021. Disney also recently announced a ton of newStar Warsshows, includingLando, anAhsokaspin-off,Rangers of the New Republic,The AcolyteandVisions. We also have the previously announcedObi-Wan KenobiandAndoron the way. As expected, even though movies likeRogue Squadronare coming down the pipeline, the future of a galaxy far, far away will largely live on the small screen.
