The scope of the story isn't the only thing that seems to be getting larger, "Everything gets bigger, the stakes get higher, but also the personal story between the Child and the Mandalorian develops in a way I think people will enjoy," executive producer Dave Filoni told EW.
Favreau and Filoni were also inspired by Game of Thrones's storytelling so expect to see a lot less isolation this go around. "As we introduce other characters, there are opportunities to follow different storylines," Filoni explained. The second season picks up right were the first left off, which means we'll see Mando protect the child as best he can. However, we can only imagine the treachery Moff Gideon will get up to now that he has the Darksaber.
