We found out earlier today that James Mangold is in talks to replace Steven Spielberg as the director of
Indiana Jones 5, and it looks like the
Logan filmmaker might have also paid a recent visit to the galaxy far, far away.
THE MANDALORIAN: Sideshow Releases Images Of Incredible Life-Size Baby Yoda Figure
According to the guys on the
Black Series Rebels show (who have shared solid insider info in the past), Mangold,
Sin City's Robert Rodriguez and other, unnamed filmmakers dropped by the set of
The Mandalorian Season 2 to direct sequences for certain installments. We don't have any details on what they shot, but it doesn't sound like either worked on anything close to a full episode.
In addition, Bryce Dallas Howard is said to have returned to direct an episode, as she did on the first season.
We'll have to treat this as rumor for now, but with production on
The Mandalorian Season 2 set to wrap fairly soon, we may get official word at some point over the next few weeks.
Let us know what you think of this report in the comments, and check out some concept art from the Season 1 finale of
The Mandalorian below.
This first piece is from Brian Matyas and Doug Chiang, and features Jarren commandeering that mega-powerful gattling gun to cut down as many Imperial troops as possible before his team was pinned down again.
Here we see Jarren and Cara Dune arrive on Kuiil's moisture farm in order to recruit the Ugnaught to their cause.
Unfortunately, Kuill was killed by Scout Troopers when they captured Baby Yoda. Mando did take the time to give him a proper burial before leaving the planet, at least.
This next piece is from Brian Matyas, and focuses on Cara Dune, IG-11, Greef Carga and a severely injured Dyn Jarren making their escape through the Mandalorian tunnels.
When things look bleak, they encounter the Armorer who takes out a group of Stormtroopers with nothing but her hammer.
Finally, we see IG-11 approaching those comic-relief Scout Troopers to rescue Baby Yoda - which he does with extreme prejudice!
In order for the little fella and the others to escape, however, the droid later self destructs.
