In the latest chapter of The Mandalorian Season 2, "The Jedi", we see the live-action debut of Ahsoka Tano. Originally a ghastly little irritant, Ahsoka emerged from the Clone Wars as a devastated and disillusioned warrior and, naturally, a genuine fan favourite. So how does Ahsoka fare here? Now that Baby Yoda has an actual name, will it catch on? Baby Yoda is a hard bell to unring.

We dive deep into the hyperspace of Season 2 of The Mandalorian so far, on this episode of Spoiler Nation.

This Halloween season, join Howie and special guest Keaton in a spooky, comprehensive breakdown of Netflix's "The Haunting of Bly Manor", Mike Flanagan's follow-up to his hit horror series, "The Haunting of Hill House."
