Only three episodes left. Who is the next director? We still haven’t seen episodes from Robert Rodriguez or Rick Famuyiwa. I’m guessing either Filoni or Favreau directs another.
Famuyiwa is listed as the writer of Chapter 15 so it’s likely he’ll direct that one as he both wrote and directed Chapter 6 last season). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mandalorian#Season_2_(2020) I wonder if this means they’ll bring back Mayfeld, Xi’an and Burg? Though it seems a bit odd for the second-to-last episode of the season to bring back this particular story-thread, so maybe they’re saving them for another season. Either way though, I’m glad to see Famuyiwa direct at least one episode as his two were among my favourites from the last season.
I’d completely forgotten that Rodriguez was confirmed to direct an episode so now I’m really curious too. Chapter 14 & 16 are both written by Favreau, so it could be either of them. Just a guess really, but Waititi was the “biggest” director in season 1 so maybe they’ve similarly saved the season 2 finale for Rodriguez?
