Cast: Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers, Giancarlo Esposito
Director: Peyton Reed
Run time: TBA

It's hard to believe but it's time to watch The Mandalorian season 2 finale on Disney Plus. Chapter 16, "The Rescue," is streaming now! Eight weeks have whizzed by as fast as a speeder bike and the ongoing adventures of Mando and Baby Yoda (real name: Grogu) are drawing to a close ... for now.

The Mandalorian season 2 has expanded the show's scope, introducing new characters and bringing in familiar ones from other Star Wars movies and show. Chapter 16 picks up where last week's action left off, as Mando embarks on a mission to reunite with Baby Yoda.

Spoilers for The Mandalorian season 2 ahead!

Grogu is currently being held captive by Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito). In Chapter 15, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) teamed up with Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison), Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen), Cara Dune (Gina Carano) and former Imperial sharpshooter/prisoner Migs Mayfeld (Bill Burr) to acquire the coordinates to Gideon's ship. Mando proceeded to warned Gideon that he's coming for Baby Yoda. 

The Mandalorian season 2 episode 8 is likely to see a face-off between Mando and Gideon — and it should be pretty spectacular.

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch The Mandalorian season 2 on Disney Plus.
