According to the Black Series Rebels podcast, Rodríguez and James Mangold were on the list to direct the next episodes of the series alongside Bryce Dallas Howard, who directed a chapter from the show’s first season. Mangold quickly took to Twitter to debunk the rumors, but other sources began reporting that there was a truth to Rodriguez’s part in that report. The second season of “The Mandalorian” has officially closed main photography as things change to post-production.
An Instagram post by cinematographer Baz Idoine apparently suggests that former Lucasfilm filmmaker Dave Filoni ended up directing the season finale.
