COMING SOON - 'THE ART OF STAR WARS - THE MANDALORIAN (SEASON TWO)'

A unique friendship beyond the stars continues in The Mandalorian. Gorgeous, specially commissioned official cover art by Doug Chiang.

Achieving what many thought impossible, making George Lucas's encompassing Star Wars saga into a magnificent, broad-in-scope, character-rich action continuing TV mini-series adventure made through the mixing of old school special effects with pioneering effects technologies that go beyond anything else on the small(ish) screen, going on to rival (and in some cases excel over) the saga's very own big screen sequel entries, Season Two of the critically-acclaimed The Mandalorian was a triumph for Lucasfilm and Disney+, realised by Writers/Producers/Directing talents Jon Favreau and modern franchise legend Dave Filoni, working tirelessly with an equally dedicated team of artists and other behind the scenes talents wonderfully bringing the evolving adventures and destinies of the titular Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin and his lovable mystery green frog friend, vulnerable former Jedi Knight, Grogu (aka 'The Child'), to onscreen reality. This time out in the 8 episode season, the remarkable and beloved duo navigate life beyond the pursuant remnants of the Empire whilst also attracting the attentions of legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett, back from the dead with new colleague, part-android Fennec Shand, in tow; meet the dedicated former Jedi Ahsoka Tano as she emerges to begin her own perilous quest linked to her coming soon spotlight series, and ultimately engage in a conflict with the ambitious Darksaber-wielding Imperial Moff Gideon, resultantly seeing our evil-battling heroes encounter no less that the timeline's mighty Jedi of building legend, Luke Skywalker - the crowd-pleasing, emotional return of Mark Hamill to his iconic role for the show's barnstorming, emotional season finale - a delightful surprise not just for the viewers, but a top secret reveal that also caught many of the behind the scenes team unawares!

Many of the finest conceptual art and production paintings for Season Two's key sequences, from the likes of alumni Doug Chiang (providing another inspirational foreword to the Art of range) to Christian Alzmann, Amy Beth Christensen, Erik Tiemen and other notables, have been once again compiled, with key behind the scenes filming notes and interview quotes, by veteran SW author and modern franchise historian/imagineer Phil Szostak for Book Two of the continuing, gorgeous coffee table book series that is The Art of Star Wars - The Mandalorian, out next month from Abrams Books

Behind the scenes of the exciting new title with Phil Szostak, featuring in-depth art showcasing:

AVAILABLE NOW: 'THE ART OF STAR WARS - THE MANDALORIAN (SEASON ONE)'

"This is the way." Cover art by Doug Chiang.

Undoubtedly one of the trailblazing success stories of the all-new franchise era stewardship now tightly held by Disney, The Mandalorian, created by Jon Favreau, has captured not only the hearts of die-hard fans but also those of the general audience watching it across the Disney+ channel's excusive airings, many of whom had likely never experienced the saga's potential and expanded shades of grey realms in quite so much fascinating depth beyond the original three Luke Skywalker character starring films created by George Lucas. 

As well as the quite wonderful onscreen pairing between the seasoned bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), one of the nomadic Mandalorian warrior tribes, and The Child, an emotionally scarred and withdrawn former Jedi that he has taken under his protective wing (a magical relationship slowly developing to new heights of emotional bonding), the Emmy-winning series outstanding production design, hugely referencing yet building on a mixture of two trilogies, as well as foreshadowing elements to come with the post 2015 sequels era, has proven itself another vital component to the evolving format's accomplished success. 

Led by veteran Doug Chiang, who brought such visual freshness to the opening Prequel films (and provides an informative foreword to this new book), The Mandalorian's behind the scenes art team has proved itself yet again as one of the most accomplished and respected groups immersed within the evolving world of film and TV fantasy action entertainment. Their love of Lucas's established universe unabated, the marvellous and innovative conceptual/production artwork they've spellbindingly concocted is in-depth charted and celebrated once more by artist/historian Phil Szostak, within an overall continuing series origins/development format featuring key contributions from Favreau, series co-writer/director Dave Filoni, and other enthused directors from the show's striking opening year. Out now - the latest must-have official book via ABRAMS: The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season One)

Here's the official release details

This official behind-the-scenes companion to the Disney+ Star Wars series The Mandalorian features exclusive concept art, character and costume sketches, and vehicle and creature designs. 

The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian takes fans behind the scenes of the first ever live-action Star Wars television series. Filled with concept art, sketches, and interviews with key cast, crew, and creatives, including executive producer/showrunner/writer Jon Favreau and executive producer/director Dave Filoni, The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian will provide readers with an exclusive look at a whole new universe of Star Wars characters, locations, and vehicles. 

Premiering in November 2019 as a key launch title for Disney+, The Mandalorian follows the adventures of galactic gunslinger Din Djarin and the Child as they traverse the outer systems of the galaxy and evade remnants of the Empire. Readers will encounter early visual and conceptual ideas for these new characters and unexplored frontiers, filled with crime syndicates, bounty hunters, and smugglers. The gritty, lived-in cantinas and spaceports are populated by a talented cast that includes Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones), Werner Herzog (Fitzcarraldo, Grizzly Man), Nick Nolte (48 Hours), Gina Carano (Haywire, Deadpool), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), and Carl Weathers (Rocky).
