This is the way.
Ahead of 'The Mandalorian' season two arriving on Disney+ this October, a number of pictures from the upcoming 'Star Wars' spin-off series have been released.
As we can see from the preview images below, The Child AKA Baby Yoda will be joining Pedro Pascal's Mando on a brand new adventure, with appearances from guest stars from series one Carl Weathers' Karga and Gina Carano's Cara Dune. Giancarlo Esposito's Moff Gideon will also be back, with the actor telling Entertainment Weekly he will be going "toe-to-toe with Mando" while wielding The Darksaber.
The Galactic Empire officer told the publication that this time around, we're going to see plenty more of his ways: "You may think I’m a villain, but I’m trying to harness some energy and some powers for a path that could be best for all. You'll get to see him be somewhat diplomatic and more of a manipulator."
Executive producer Dave Filoni made reference to how big of a celebrity status Baby Yoda had become while filming 'The Mandalorian' season two: "In season 2, he was the biggest thing on the set. There was a total shift around him. Everybody liked him before, but he wasn't quite the celebrity that he was in season 2. This time, he was quite a big deal."
Esposito added: "Even as a puppet, you can't walk by the Child without having an interaction, because it's so very sweet and innocent."
The pictures come courtesy of the publication, and here are the images for you to salivate over before a trailer inevitably gets released in the coming weeks.

Filming of 'The Mandalorian' season two miraculously wrapped filming four days before many productions across the world were forced to halt back in March. 'Luke Cage' actress Rosario Dawson is believed to be playing a fan-favourite character in Ahsoka Tano.
While enjoying some "downtime" earlier this year, creator of the series Jon Favreau already began working on season three of the saga.
Expect more Baby Yoda and Mando adventures when 'The Mandalorian' season two arrives on Disney+ from October 30.
