The Art of Star Wars : The Mandalorian Season 2 Book Review

Following up on the success of the first season, Mandalorian season 2 delivers yet more fantastic Star Wars action, topped by popular characters from the universe like the Jedi Ahsoka Tano, the bounty hunter Boba Fett as well as a mysterious character in the season finale. The production quality is exceptionally high, in particular the visual effects that utilizes Industrial Light & Magic’s revolutionary Stagecraft technology.

This oversized hardcover book explores in detail the stunning concept art work created for season 2 of the series, with over 250 pages of content including character and costume sketches, vehicle and creature designs as well as interviews with key cast, crew, and creatives, including executive producer/showrunner/writer Jon Favreau and executive producer/director Dave Filoni.

Produced in the same hardcover format and dimensions as the art book for season 1, the amount of material covered is very substantial, certainly on par with any of the “Art Of Star Wars” books for the new feature films like The Last Jedi and Rise Of Skywalker.

(image above) The 2nd season kicks off on a high note with the 1st episode featuring the gargantuan Krayt Dragon, created also by Industrial Light & Magic. Definitely check out this making of video –

If you’re fascinated by the Krayt dragon as well as the countless other alien species and creatures of the Starwars universe, I highly recommend the StarWars Alien Archive book, which details all manners of creatures seen in the franchise and is a fantastic read.

(image above) Character designs for the bounty hunter Boba Fett, who has since gotten his own series on Disney+. I’m hoping there will be an art book for this as well.

(above & below) The episode “The Passenger” is one of my favorites from season 2 and features some very nasty looking creepy crawlies; the original design is taken from a piece of concept art illustrated by the legendary concept designer Ralph McQuarrie.
