Every Mandalorian Season 1 Character Who Returned In Season 2
The Mandalorian season 2 brought back a string of characters who previously appeared in season 1. Created by Jon Favreau, the first live-action Star Wars TV show focuses on lone bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) as he becomes the unexpected caretaker of a 50-year-old Force-sensitive child named Grogu (aka Baby Yoda). Now, Mando's current mission is to help Baby Yoda determine the path that he wants to take moving forward as a potential Jedi.
Set five years after the fall of the Empire in Return of the Jedi, The Mandalorian's cast is primarily composed of new Star Wars characters with Din and Baby Yoda leading the selection. The show keeps a relatively short list of key players, with the focus mostly being on the titular character and his adventures with the child. This allows The Mandalorian to be character-focused with a story relatively contained but still very much part of the bigger universe, thanks to several nods to Star Wars films, animated series, books, and even Legends.
As Mando continues his mission to reunite Baby Yoda with his people, they've encountered new characters - some of them became allies, while others became foes. But the show also brought back several familiar faces for the sake of establishing narrative continuity. From main players to supporting characters, here's everyone who already appeared in The Mandalorian season that came back for season 2.
As the titular character, Din Djarin returns with Baby Yoda. He's been mostly focused on reuniting Grogu with his people - a mission that was given to him by the Armorer (Emily Swallow) in The Mandalorian season 1 finale. His focus started to shift, however, after their encounter with Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) on Corvus. Despite having the ability to train the Grogu, she refused to separate him from his foster father. Instead, Ahsoka told Din to bring Baby Yoda to the Jedi Temple on Tython, where Moff Gideon and his troops, unfortunately, caught up to them.
Din and Baby Yoda first encountered Peli Motto (Amy Sedaris) in The Mandalorian season 1, episode 5, "The Gunslinger", when they made their way to Tatooine. Peli is a mechanic on Tatooine who serviced the Razor Crest; she was also briefly the caretaker of Grogu while Din went out on a mission with Toro Calican (Jake Cannavale). Since Mando's initial hunt for other Mandalorians brought him back to Tatooine, he and Baby Yoda once again met up with Peli in The Mandalorian season 2 premiere, as well as its succeeding episode.
Like Peli Motto, Boba Fett also appeared in The Mandalorian season 1, episode 5, but in a limited capacity. The classic Star Wars bounty hunter was only teased at that time as the mysterious being who saved Fennec Shand in the dunes. What's interesting here is that despite the spur sounds during the character's appearance in season 1, his involvement wasn't fully confirmed until The Mandalorian season 2 premiere, with the revelation that he indeed survived his fall into the Sarlacc pit. Boba Fett returned in "The Tragedy", and considering the deal he made with Din in making sure that he gets Baby Yoda back from Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito), Boba Fett will likely be in the show for the rest of The Mandalorian season 2.
The Mandalorian executive producer Dave Filoni makes his acting debut as a New Republic X-Wing pilot in season 1, episode 6, "The Prisoner". He returned in season 2 and encountered Din again in the episode "The Passenger" as one of the galactic police who checked up on Din's credentials, to make sure that he's not an Imperial remnant.
Q9-0 aka Zero, the droid voiced by Richard Ayoade, returned in The Mandalorian season 2, episode 2 when Frog Lady used his remaining parts to communicate with Din. Zero was introduced in "The Prisoner" as a member of Ranzar Malk's (Mark Booner Junior) crew, who betrayed Din during a mission. When Mando found him threatening Baby Yoda, he killed the droid and salvaged the parts, which were then stashed in his ship.
The show's main villain debuted in The Mandalorian season 1's penultimate episode, with the promise that he'd be more prominent in season 2 - and that has been the case. Moff Gideon initially resurfaced through a holographic call in "The Heiress" after it was revealed that Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) and her team are hunting him down to reclaim the Darksaber. Since then, he's appeared a few more times, ultimately leading to Moff Gideon capturing Baby Yoda in "The Tragedy".
The former Bounty Hunter Guild leader who provided Din Djarin with job orders in The Mandalorian season 1, including the one that led him to Baby Yoda, has now become somewhat of a leader on Nevarro. Mando reunited with Greef Karga (Carl Weathers) after he and Baby Yoda found themselves back on the planet in The Mandalorian season 2, episode 4, "The Siege" to have the Razor Crest fixed after a rough journey to Trask.
Din Djarin and Grogu first met Cara Dune (Gina Carano) on Sogran in The Mandalorian season 1, episode 4, "The Sanctuary". Developing a camaraderie with the ex-Shock trooper, she helped them escape Moff Gideon and his troops in their initial encounter with him on Nevarro. As Mando and Baby Yoda set off to their new adventures, she stayed back with Greef Karga and is revealed to have become the Marshal of Nevarro when the pair returned to the planet in "The Tragedy".
The Mythrol was Din Djarin's first bounty in The Mandalorian. Debuting in the show's premiere, the character played by Horatio Sanz re-emerged in "The Siege" where he's revealed to be working for Greef Karga to pay off his massive debt. Mythrol accompanied Mando, Greef, and Cara Dune to an Imperial base on the opposite side of Nevarro, where they learned a little bit about why Moff Gideon is going after Grogu.
Revealed to be the Imperial top scientific expert who did some tests on Baby Yoda back in The Mandalorian season 1, Dr. Pershing (Omid Abtahi) appeared again in "The Siege", albeit only through a holographic message. His message was used to shed light on what the Imperial remnants really want from Grogu. Moff Gideon mentioned him in "The Tragedy" after he secured the Child, teasing a potential appearance later in The Mandalorian season 2.
Boba Fett's formal introduction in The Mandalorian season 2 also meant the return of Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen), whom the classic Star Wars character saved from fully dying back in "The Gunslinger". Owing a debt of gratitude to Boba Fett, the sharpshooter assassin now works for him as revealed in "The Tragedy". As Boba Fett helps Din Djarin in rescuing Baby Yoda, expect more of Fennec for the rest of The Mandalorian season 2.
