Mandalorian Season 2 Concept Art Reveals Helmet-Less Mando With Mayfeld

screenrant.com:

New concept art from The Mandalorian season 2 reveals a helmet-less Din Djarin with Migs Mayfeld. The sophomore season of the successful Star Wars series premiered on October 30, 2020 to an eager audience. It wrapped up in December of that same year in a two-part, action-packed finale that even saw the return of Luke Skywalker to viewers' screens. The high-stakes ending only increased anticipation for The Mandalorian season 3, which will reportedly arrive around Christmas time of this year.

The first part of this two-episode event, entitled «Chapter 15: The Believer,» saw Din (Pedro Pascal) reluctantly team up with Mayfeld (Bill Burr) to get the coordinates to Moff Gideon's (Giancarlo Esposito) cruiser where Grogu was being held captive. Their venture ended up having massive effects on Din's future journey, as the terminal within the Imperial refinery on Morak required him to remove his helmet for the first time in front of other living beings. This decision by Din caused him to break his Mandalorian creed, despite how necessary it was to rescue Grogu. It led to him being cast out from his tribe in his The Book of Boba Fett appearance, where he was forced to reveal what he'd done. His atonement can only be earned on Mandalore, according to the Armorer (Emily Swallow), which sets up more of Din's journey for The Mandalorian season 3.
