In _The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season Two)_, Lucasfilm creative art manager Phil Szostak takes fans behind the scenes of the second season of the Emmy Award-winning Disney+ live-action _Star Wars_ television series_._ Filled with concept art, character, vehicle, weapon, and creature designs, and interviews with key crew and creatives, including executive producer/showrunner/writer Jon Favreau and executive producer/director Dave Filoni, _The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season Two)_ provides readers with an exclusive look at the stunning art and design work that helped bring new and returning characters and locations to life.

Season Two of _The Mandalorian_ tracks the continuing adventures of Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and the Child as they explore the far reaches of the _Star Wars_ galaxy in an effort to return Grogu to his people and stay one step ahead of Moff Gideon's (Giancarlo Esposito) Imperial remnant and squad of dark troopers. Alongside comrades from the first season, the duo encounters a cadre of new allies and forms tenuous alliances with former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson), frontier marshal Cobb Vanth (Timothy Olyphant), fellow Mandalorians Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff) and Koska Reeves (Mercedes Varnado aka Sasha Banks), and fan-favorite bounty hunter Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison). In _The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season Two)_, readers will encounter early visual and conceptual ideas for these new characters and their arsenal of weapons, ships, and armor, as well as the icy, lush, war-torn, and razed planets that serve as crucial stepping stones in Djarin and Grogu's quest.

Returning for _The Mandalorian_ Season Two, executive creative director Doug Chiang (_Star Wars: The Force Awakens_, _Rogue One: A Star Wars Story_) and the incomparable group of artists, designers, and dreamers known as the Lucasfilm Art Department "visualists" undertook the challenge of continuing to push the boundaries of _Star Wars_ storytelling while also translating Ahsoka Tano from animation to live action and updating the look of the legendary Boba Fett. _The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season Two)_ is the only book to explore the artistic vision for this groundbreaking sophomore season, taking readers on a deep dive into the development of the next chapter of Din Djarin and Grogu's story. Exclusive interviews with the filmmakers and the Lucasfilm visualists provide a running commentary on _The Mandalorian_'s innovative art and design, revealing the inspiration behind the look and feel of the series.
