Star Wars is launching a new platform to share Mandalorian merchandise and content.
Fresh off of seven Emmy wins, Star Wars is ready to celebrate The Mandalorian season 2. Regardless of the show winning an Emmy or not, Star Wars did announce a new feature that they plan to roll out beginning Oct. 26 called Mando Mondays.
Announced via Twitter today, the Star Wars account shared a video to tease the upcoming new feature. But just what is it? According to Star Wars, Mando Mondays will be a way to showcase new merchandise, new content, and more for The Mandalorian season 2.
The new program begins the Monday of the week that The Mandalorian will drop its first episode, and then the program will continue on a weekly basis after that.
Star Wars fans, we have a new reason to look forward to Mondays! Starting Oct. 26, join us weekly to celebrate #MandoMondays and discover new products, digital content and more inspired by #TheMandalorian. Get the details at https://t.co/4YJuMiBdss. pic.twitter.com/FeGi8zHfOW

Already, there’s been plenty of Mandalorian merchandise announced, and we’re sure more will be announced even in the coming days leading up to Mando Mondays. When it comes to Star Wars, of course, there will always be new products, so that’s something fans will never have to worry about. (Well, unless it’s last year when Disney had a surprising lack of Baby Yoda merch roaring and ready to go.)
As far as the digital content, it’s unclear just what that could mean. It’s possible we’ll get some behind-the-scenes clips from the making of that week’s episode of The Mandalorian. If not, that might be saved for a second season of Disney Gallery: Star Wars: The Mandalorian, the documentary series with the behind-the-scenes look at the making of the show. The digital content may not necessarily mean videos, though. The language is pretty vague, which means that can range anywhere from written blogs to downloadable wallpapers.
Whatever’s in store, the more, the better. The Mandalorian season 2 is still over a month to go, but at least there’s more to look forward to when it comes to the upcoming season. Until then, we’ll have to wait for The Mandalorian to begin streaming on Disney+ on Oct. 30.
What do you hope to see released on Mando Monday? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
