Very few names have persisted in the medium of film and television the way Carl Weathers’ name has.

For our very own holiday special, we review season 2 of The Mandalorian.
A year ago, when Giancarlo Esposito’s Moff Gideon emerged from a wrecked Tie Fighter wielding the Darksaber in the end-credits stinger to season one of The Mandalorian, it was a signal to the audience that season two would tie more directly to established Star Wars canon than initially expected.
