To a lot of fans, The Mandalorian season 1 lived up to its hype, and now fans have been teased with more action in the second season.
Giancarlo Esposito who played the main antagonist in the first season has revealed that the lightsaber action (which we got to see only for a brief moment in season 1) in the upcoming second season will be major and epic.
The prop guys are wondering about me because I was in a bit of a commotion and a bit of a struggle with someone else, which I’m hoping you will enjoy when you see it. Major, major, epic, epic lightsaber action happening on this show, and I should mention that I’m the only character in this first season who was able to be honored with having that lightsaber. So it feels wonderful.- Giancarlo Esposito – geektyrant.com
The actor was also asked if his character would come face to face against the pint-sized Din Djarin (‘Baby Yoda’) and he replied:
Well, no way. [Laughs]. It ain’t gonna happen, baby! Anything is possible, and you keep watching. Because although the baby has some incredible power, without having to wield the Darksaber, I think the baby is so curious about what this is. So you will be enthused and inspired when you see the scene I’m referring to in Season 2, which is to come in October. Keep watching.
With several months still left before it premieres on Disney +, fans still have to be patient to see for themselves the lightsaber action that was promised.
The Mandalorian season 2 arrives in October 2020.
