Last week, the internet went ablaze when reports surfaced that Rosario Dawson had been cast as fan favorite Jedi Ahsoka Tano in season two of The Mandalorian. Well, the news keeps coming.
According to Making Star Wars, Michael Biehn (The Terminator) is also set to appear in the Star Wars series. It is unknown who Biehn is playing, but the site says “he is playing a bounty bunter from The Mando’s past.” Whether or not he is an old friend or an old foe remains to be seen.
The reputable Star Wars site has also learned that comedian Bill Burr, who appeared in season one of the series as Mayfeld, is returning as well. Which means Mayfeld may have some unfinished business with Mando. It is unclear how many episodes both Biehn and Burr will appear but we expect them to have pivotal roles.

Newcomers to the series WWE superstar Sasha Banks in an unknown role, and the aforementioned Dawson as Tano, and of course how could we forget the return of Baby Yoda aka “The Child.”
