Christmas is almost upon us but the only thing many of us want to see in a manger this week is Baby Grogu! The final episode of The Mandalorian Season 2 airs this Friday and there can be no better way to celebrate than with Empire's brand new Mandalorian cover, featuring Grogu, Mando himself and Ahsoka Tano (soon to be the star of her very own Star Wars show). You can feast your eyes upon the newsstand cover, beautifully illustrated by Paul Shipper, below.
The issue, on sale from Christmas Eve, is jam-packed with Star Wars goodness, from exploring how The Mandalorian saved Lucas' franchise, to the secrets Baby Yoda might be hiding, and how Jon Favreau's created the ultimate space Western. Plus, we delve deep into the holocron to dig up 101 Mando Easter eggs you might have missed, and take a comprehensive look at the future of the Star Wars universe on both big screen and small. Not to mention offering readers the chance to get your hands on a free Baby Yoda Funko!
Those lucky enough to subscribe will get this exclusive Grogu cover illustrated by Sam Gilbey, which shows exactly what happens when you Force steal too many space biscuits from your classmates. Not already a subscriber? You can remedy that right here.
