In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner and show creator Jon Favreau revealed that he wants to expand the scope of the Mandalorian's universe - and the trailer certainly promises this.
Favreau said: "The new season is about introducing a larger story in the world.
"The stories become less isolated, yet each episode has its own flavor, and hopefully we're bringing a lot more scope to the show."
Last week, Disney+ also released a series first-look photographs from the second series.
Courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, let's just all breathe a sigh of relief that The Child (aka Baby Yoda) is back and looking just as cute as he ever was.

The hit show, starring Pedro Pascal as the titular Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin, was a commercial and critical success - with the first season earning 15 Emmy nominations.

Pascal was joined by Carl Weathers and Gina Carano on his quest to first kidnap and then rescue The Child - a mysterious 50-year-old infant that appears to be the same species as Jedi Master Yoda from the Star Wars franchise.
And, as the new images show, Weathers and Carano are back for season two.

Set five years after the events of Return of the Jedi, the first season came to an end with our heroes escaping a trap set by former officer of the Imperial Security Bureau, Moff Gideon - played by Breaking Bad's Giancarlo Esposito.
Speaking Entertainment Weekly, Esposito said of the upcoming season: "I’ll be going toe-to-toe with Mando.
"It’s an iconic battle. I want to disarm him mentally as well. Who knows? Maybe there’s an opportunity to get him to fight some battles for me.
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."
Fans may be a little heartbroken to see that the beloved Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett or Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano are yet to be featured in the new snaps, despite being heavily rumored to be featured in the second season
Favreau also told Entertainment Weekly how Star Wars creator George Lucas was not only present on the set of the filming for the second season, but was even happy to provided some tips to director Dave Filoni.
"[Lucus] would be giving Dave a hard time about how many setups he was getting and how fast he was shooting and urging him to go faster," Favreau said.
"He was like a boxer's corner man coaching him, but always with a twinkle in his eye."
Speaking about why the first season was so successful, Favreau added that he believes the audience's lower expectations played a role in making the show such a hit.
"I think it was the fact it was live-action Star Wars on TV for the first time," he told EW. "Having worked on bigger, higher-profile films, there’s a much different set of standards that you’re judged by. We’ve benefited from the smallness of our world."
