Holiday Special: A Look Back at The Mandalorian - Season Two

Welcome to an extra special episode of Issue Zero! It’s the HOLIDAY SPECIAL!!! Well…it was supposed to be. Last year Dila (my contemptible harpy of a producer) and I did a deep dive on the ORIGINAL Star Wars Holiday Special, and we’d intended on doing the same with the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special. But sadly the new one is not really a family variety show…it’s really just an animated short for kids. So we wound up doing a deep dive on the second season of The Mandalorian. We wade right into it, episode by episode, the highs and the lows…and yes we tied a lot into our ongoing Star Wars Audio Drama…Mud79. There was also some speculation about what that post credit scene on the final episode means…all that and more on this SPECIAL EDITION…of Issue Zero!   Fred Kennedy - @fearless_fred Dila Velazquez - @DilaDeyanira
