　　Whereas other major TV shows and movies have been delayed or shut down entirely due to COVID-19, The Mandalorian is in a unique position due to how many of the characters already wear masks as part of their costumes, while the production uses Fortnite developer Epic's incredible technology to create virtual sets.

　　"We're in very small situations and oftentimes we have a lot of characters in masks," Favreau said. "And we also have a lot of digital work that augments things. So we're a show that's probably well-equipped to be flexible based on the protocols that are emerging surrounding work restarting."

　　The Mandalorian Season 2 introduces a number of big names. Michael Biehn (Terminator) will be playing a bounty hunter, and there's a rumor floating around that Rosario Dawson may appear as Ahsoka Tano from The Clone Wars and Rebels animated series. Additionally, there's another rumor that Clone Wars actor Katee Sackhoff will also be involved in the upcoming season.
