If you've just finished watching The Mandalorian and you're wondering why The Darksaber is important, we've got a list for you. Before The Mandalorian was released, there was a TV show called Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and a whole lot of still-canon Star Wars lore within. Today we're going to run down the data you'll need to get back in the swing of things.
Today we've compiled a list of clips, episodes, and movies you'll do well to see after you've completed The Mandalorian Season 2. This set of clips will aid you in your journey forward AND will allow you to expand your knowledge of The Force and the ever-growing world of canon Star Wars history. Before we go on, here, know this: We're about to discuss a couple items that need a SPOILER ALERT. Do not go forward if you've not already completed The Mandalorian Season 2.
Disney confirmed details about the show "Star Wars : The Book of Boba Fett" for Disney+ this morning. After teasing the show after the finale of the second season of The Mandalorian, Disney went right ahead and blasted the big news: another series! To be as clear as possible: This "The Book of Boba Fett" series does NOT replace season 3 of The Mandalorian. The two series will be separate from one another - though crossover episodes haven't yet been ruled out entirely.
The Mandalorian Season 2, episode 8, The Rescue, had a post-credits scene. Before we go too far, know this: This article is jammed full of spoilers.

If you love Star Wars at all, whatsoever, please do yourself a service and watch that episode before you look at this article. This is your final SPOILER ALERT.
Two controllers appear in a single special Star Wars box. Both controllers per Xbox Principal Designer Elliott Hsu, the custom controllers "feature sketches of the now iconic Child wielding the Force and the steely Mandalorian's Beskar armored profile." These controllers are not going to be available for sale to the public - or at least they don't appear to be planning on selling them individually yet.
The next making-of special for The Mandalorian will be released to Disney+ on Christmas Day. The Mandalorian Making of Season Two (aka Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian) is an hour-long movie that'll deliver the entirety of Season 2 in behind-the-scenes form. But why, you might ask, wouldn't this even-more-exciting season have an even-more-massive making-of special than Season 1?
Three years ago, Star Wars: The Last Jedi was released, and it divided the masses. Some fans thought the movie was so extremely bad, they wanted it struck from the record!* Despite the negativity, The Last Jedi remained staunchly on-record and its influence blasted its way into the creators of every Star Wars title thereafter.
Today Star Wars Squadrons delivered a lovely free content update. It's not often that an update such as this appears for a major game - but here it is. The two ships you'll gain access to in the update are some of the strangest vehicles in the Star Wars universe: the TIE Defender and the B-Wing.
This afternoon, Disney's Investor Day 2020 revealed that they'd be delivering 10 Star Wars series over the next few years.

Ask your average Star Wars fan a few years ago how likely it was that a Star Wars Holiday Special weapon were to be made into a NERF toy, they'd have called you crazy. Thanks to Disney+ and The Mandalorian, the Amban Phase-pulse blaster found its way to an official NERF weapon. This is the weapon that was originally sported by Boba Fett in his first ever appearance in a movie - well before the release of The Empire Strikes Back!
In The Mandalorian Season 2, Episode 6, we got a look at a "chain code" that needed translating.
