Children of the Watch: A Star Wars After Show

The Mandalorian Rewatch is back, and to help us dive in to Season 2, we're joined by special guests Star Wars Explained! We talk Cobb Vanth, Krayt Dragons, and more in our breakdown of Chapter Nine: The Marshal. In preparation for the next Star Wars film, The Mandalorian & Grogu, we're going back through The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, The Book of Boba Fett, and The Mandalorian itself to break down all of the easter eggs, connections, and hints about what could be coming in the movie.

Up top, we check in with Alex and Mollie of Star Wars Explained to see how they're feeling about the leadup to The Mandalorian & Grogu.

Then, we dive in to the incredible first episode of The Mandalorian Season 2. We discuss Din's apparent history with the Tusken Raiders, the incredible performance Timothy Olyphant gives as Cobb Vanth, a character pulled straight from the pages of Star Wars literature, as well as how this episode may serve as the best template for what to expect when we see Din and Grogu on the big screen.

Next week, we're catching up with Frog Lady in Chapter 10!
