The Mandalorian‘s second season proved an eventful one for Din Djarin and Grogu, the alien previously known as “Baby Yoda.” Mando’s quest to return Grogu to the Jedi saw him crossing paths with several iconic and famous characters from the Star Wars universe. He butted heads with the Mandalorians in Bo-Katan Kryze’s clan of Nite Owls. He allied with the feared bounty hunter Boba Fett and assassin Fennec Shand. Ultimately, Luke Skywalker, the hero of the Rebellion and the original Star Wars trilogy, comes to the rescue. In a surprise appearance, Luke saved Din Djarin’s ragtag band from a force of Imperial Remnant Death Troopers.

In the same spirit as its season one predecessor, The Art of the Mandalorian (Season Two) offers fans a behind-the-scenes look at the concept art created to help bring these characters and moments to life. Abrams Books has provided ComicBook.com with a handful of pieces of art featured in the book to preview. They include a rendering of Ahsoka jumping off a rooftop that puts the influence of Japanese cinema on her live-action debut episode (and Star Wars in general) on full display. There’s also concept art of Plo Koon, a Jedi from the prequel trilogy that Lucasfilm used as Luke’s stand-in during pre-production to ensure Luke’s return didn’t leak. Take a look below.
