Extraction helmer Sam Hargrave recently revealed that he was enlisted to up the action in The Mandalorian season 2, and the filmmaker's main task was taking charge of the show's second unit. However, it seems he was also privy to some big reveals while on set, including The Child's true name!
Hargrave dropped this bombshell during an interview with Collider, confirming that he's one of only a few people who know what Baby Yoda is really called. "Yes, I know the name of The Child," he teased. "I carry that secret. It’s a very heavy burden."
This presumably means The Child will be named in The Mandalorian when it returns to Disney+, which in turn suggests that his origins and true identity will be revealed.
There are many questions surrounding The Child, and it's looking like season 2 will finally start answering some of them. With Rosario Dawson set to bring Ahsoka Tano to live-action, it seems highly likely that the Jedi Knight is going to be responsible for sharing some insight with Mando about the creature's true nature.
Recently, it was confirmed by Jon Favreau that The Mandalorian season 2 will premiere this October.
