A new Disney Gallery documentary, Star Wars: The Mandalorian – Making of Season 2, dropped on Disney+ Christmas Day. It offered so much!
Director Jon Favreau was more directly involved in Season 2. This especially made a difference if that’s why characters from the shows and original trilogy were in the season.
A graffiti painter drew Star Wars images on the walls he was supposed to decorate for a scene. This shows the extent of the fandoms even of those responsible for making The Mandalorian.
At one point, executive producer Dave Filoni advocated for ‘what Greedo says’ to Favreau. It was a good indicator of how much Filoni looks to bring that sweet Star Wars DNA into The Mandalorian.
Peyton Reed, who directed The Passenger and the finale The Rescue, said he couldn’t have lived with himself to pass up doing the finale, as a lifelong Star Wars fan. That’s the right attitude.
People played Dark Troopers. So that’s ironic because in the story, they were supposed to be models that surpassed the need for people.
Carrie Fisher hit her head on dangly things in Jabba the Hutt’s palace. Those things were back. The attention to detail of Jabba’s palace from Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi is incredible.
Favreau had the idea to make Bib Fortuna fat, to symbolize gluttony. So I thought that this is why Bib was fat and thought that Favreau was responsible for it.
Reed said he felt a “tremendous sense of responsibility” to get the finale right. He did it!
Gina Carano (Cara Dune) said every department gives it their all on The Mandalorian. So they do have a dream job, but that’s great to hear.
Rodriguez said in The Mandalorian, all the “tropes” are put together in a “new way.” Absolutely – and it’s for the best.
The documentary didn’t have anything about Luke Skywalker being in The Rescue. So I wonder if this means that we’ll see a mini-documentary, etc. uniquely devoted to that.
