The Mandalorian Season 2 gave fans a much-needed boost amid the numerous delays that Star Wars projects experienced in the past months. Ever since the successful premiere episode of the fresh new season, The Mandalorian has been providing fans with several Easter eggs from the Skywalker Saga, but the latest episode took it up a notch by featuring the live-action debut of Bo-Katan Kryze, a character from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels .

It's evident that Katee Sackhoff's live-action debut in The Mandalorian has been the major topic of discussion among Star Wars fans lately, and many are already anticipating the character's return down the line. Not only that, the narrative of The Mandalorian progressed in a surprising way this week, with the runaway duo eventually heading off to meet a fan-favorite Jedi in the form of Ahsoka Tano.

While fans wait for the eventual meetup of Mando and Ahsoka, a string of new photos from the latest episode has arrived.

The newly-released stills manage to capture the hard-hitting action of "Chapter 11" while also showcasing the brand new characters of The Mandalorian in a fascinating way. While the episode had a short runtime, it still delivered enough Star Wars entertainment that made it enjoyable for fans of the galaxy far, far away.

The team-up between Mando and Bo-Katan was a sight to see for everyone, and it's a safe bet that "Chapter 11" won't be the last meeting of the two Mandalorians. Season 1 had its own set of entertaining character beats among Mandalorians, but it seems that Season 2 already elevated that feat by showcasing the race's history through the lens of Bo-Katan.

"Chapter 11" might end up being a preview of what's to come for the latest season, potentially hinting that there will be more Mandalorian action in later episodes. The continued pursuit of Bo-Katan against Moff Gideon combined with the potential inclusion of Ahsoka Tano into the mix is an enticing formula for The Mandalorian moving forward.

Of course, Mando and Baby Yoda will be included in the conflict, and it will be interesting to witness how the runaway duo will be successful in thwarting off the remaining forces of the Empire (with the help of Bo-Katan and Ahsoka).

All in all, these official stills will definitely spark conversations about the overall narrative outlook of The Mandalorian Season 2.
