The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season Two) *(Book)

This official behind-the-scenes companion to season two of the hit Disney+ series The Mandalorian features exclusive concept art by the Lucasfilm art department and original interviews with the artists, writers, and filmmakers The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season Two) takes fans behind the scenes of the second season of the Emmy Award–winning Disney+ live-action Star Wars television series. Filled with concept art, character, vehicle, weapon, and creature designs, and interviews with key crew and creatives, including executive producer/showrunner/ writer Jon Favreau (Iron Man, The Lion King) and executive producer/ director Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars: Rebels), The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season Two) will provide readers with an exclusive look at the stunning art and design work that helped bring new and returning characters and locations to life. Season two of The Mandalorian tracks the continuing adventures of Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and the Child as they explore the far reaches of the Star Wars galaxy in an effort to return Grogu to his people and stay one step ahead of Moff Gideon’s (Giancarlo Esposito) Imperial remnant and squad of dark troopers. Alongside comrades from the first season, the duo encounters a cadre of new allies and forms tenuous alliances with former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson), frontier marshal Cobb Vanth (Timothy Olyphant), fellow Mandalorians Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff) and Koska Reeves (Mercedes Varnado aka Sasha Banks), and fan-favorite bounty hunter Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison). In The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season Two), readers will encounter early visual and conceptual ideas for these new characters and their arsenal of weapons, ships, and armor, as well as the icy, lush, war-torn, and razed planets that serve as crucial stepping stones in Djarin and Grogu’s quest. Returning for The Mandalorian season two, executive creative director Doug Chiang (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) and the incomparable group of artists, designers, and dreamers known as the Lucasfilm art department “visualists” undertook the challenge of continuing to push the boundaries of Star Wars storytelling while also translating Ahsoka Tano from animation to live action and updating the look of the legendary Boba Fett. The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season Two) is the only book to explore the artistic vision for this groundbreaking sophomore season, taking readers on a deep dive into the development of the next chapter of Din Djarin and Grogu’s story. Exclusive interviews with the filmmakers and the Lucasfilm visualists provide a running commentary on The Mandalorian’s innovative art and design, revealing the inspiration behind the look and feel of the series. **SEASON TWO burst is a removable sticker** Read more

Why Must Read The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season Two)?

This beautiful collection of art from Season Two of The Mandalorian is divided into eight main chapters (one for each episode), and a total of about 250 pages. There is a Foreword by Doug Chiang, followed by an Introduction, and then a “Who's Who” list of people that worked on the show. In the Foreword Doug Chiang, the Production Designer for the series and Executive Creative Director at LucusFilm, explains the four stages of the design process. He mentions some interesting details, like the use of VR headsets to walk through virtual sets before they are even built. In the Introduction there is more information about design decisions, like how to combine real and virtual sets. Each chapter has tons of artwork from one episode; from early sketches and blueprints to sculptures and high quality artwork portraying specific scenes. Overall I was happy with the amount of beautiful artwork and behind-the-scenes images contained in this book. It was impressive to see how much design work and planning goes into a show like this. If you are a huge Mando fan, you will probably enjoy this collection. (I noticed some people complaining that their book was damaged, but mine was in good shape when it arrived. It was packed in a box that was almost exactly the same size as the book, so maybe that helped.)
