This is amazing news!

I am running the Doomsday Dawn set of adventures (with a bunch of invented material in between) and I literally threatened that if the heroes fail to save Golarion, we will be playing Starfinder, because the planet the characters were on was destroyed. Now we can literally do that and not even change characters or port the player characters into Starfinder 1e.

This is hilarious, but it is of course awesome news on its own.

Will the mammoth rider be available soon?

I don't know if there's a mammoth animal companion, but there is the indomitable animal companion advancement that's available to you if you are from the land of the mammoth lords.

I think the indomitable companion only grows to large in size but thematically it is a great and fearsome beast, so why not a mammoth?

I do agree that it would be cool to have some sort of archetype that deals with "prehistoric" savage animals as mounts in general.

I just want to see an archetype or two. I’ve been very curious about the changes to some of the classics (Dragon Disciple, Eldritch Archer) and the new ones like Beast Master

Have to say I'm MOSTLY interested in what the changes to the dragon disciple is, as I can see it being one of the most difficult ones to convert to 2e (as it gave quite a load of ability bonuses in 1e which 2e tries to avoid like a hot iron).

I suspect they will do similarly with the dragon disciple as they did with the fighter multiclass archetype:

You get extra hitpoints for each archetype feat you select if your class hp is under 12.

Or maybe just a single archetype feat, maybe called "Draconic resilience" or something: "if your class gives you 10 or fewer hitpoints, gain 2 bonus hitpoints per level" Now I am not sure I phrased that correctly, but I believe you understand what I mean.
