Robert Rodriguez and Peyton Reed directed episodes for season 2 of The Mandalorian

The first season of Disney+’s The Mandalorian landed some big-name directors to helm its episodes, including Rick Famuyiwa, Taika Waititi, and Bryce Dallas Howard (not to mention one big-name director who appeared as an actor), and it looks like season two is going to make similarly big swings with its behind-the-camera talent. As reported by Entertainment Weekly, Alita: Battle Angel’s Robert Rodriguez and Ant-Man’s Peyton Reed both celebrated Star Wars Day today by teasing on Twitter that they had directed episodes for the upcoming second season of Disney+’s undeniable smash-hit. Reed’s photo is a little cooler, with a battle-damaged Mandalorian helmet sitting on a director’s chair that bears his name, but Rodriguez’s post is a bigger deal. We won’t explain why. It should be obvious.
