“Star Wars” series “The Mandalorian” could go on for quite some time if showrunner Jon Favreau has his way!
The critically acclaimed Disney+ series is currently in the middle of its third season, and Favreau has no plans for Din Djarin’s story to slow down anytime soon.
Jon Favreau Opens Up About Future of ‘Star Wars’ Series ‘The Mandalorian’
Showrunner Jon Favreau and executive producer Dave Filoni recently stopped by Entertainment Weekly’s Star Wars podcast “Dagobah Dispatch” to talk about the popular series now that it’s entering its third season.
Favreau said that he was “excited” to work on the series, adding, “I love working with Dave.” Favreau said that he also likes “how the character has evolved over time,” adding, “I also like that there are other stories now being told in the same time period, like Ahsoka and the Skeleton Crew.”
The role of Ahsoka Tano will be reprized by Rosario Dawson, who helped the animated character make the jump to live-action in “The Mandalorian,” as well as “The Book of Boba Fett.” “Skeleton Crew” stars actor Jude Law and tells the story of four children who lost in the galaxy trying to find a way home.
Since there are so many different spin-offs that all take place in the same time period, Favreau says that it “felt like there was a huge context for me to understand.” Given the timeline in a galaxy far, far away, Favreau knows that fans are well aware of what happened before and after the events of “The Mandalorian.”
“There’s a lot to be gained from additional stories told outside of what’s considered official canon right now, but so beloved by fans who’ve been doing it for decades,” he added. “So we want to take all of that into account.”
While Favreau wouldn’t say exactly how many seasons “The Mandalorian” will have, he hinted that it could continue for a while. “I’m really enjoying this very much and I love these characters and I love seeing how they grow together,” he said.
Favreau Says He Loves Working With Different Filmmakers and Storytellers
“I really enjoy working with this group of people and I love working with all these different filmmakers and storytellers, both from the directors that we work with, and other showmen like Dave and, and others like Jon Watts and Chris Ford ,” he added.
Both Jon Watts and Chris Ford have been attached to “Skeleton Crew,” as have newly minted Oscar winners Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert for “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” who will direct at least one episode of the series.
Favreau enjoyed working with various directors on the series, which included “Thor: Love and Thunder” director Taika Waititi and “Jurassic World” actor Bryce Dallas Howard. “It’s a really good format, and you really appreciate having such a good team around you that, for every new film, you have to rally,” he says. “But [with The Mandalorian] we get to inherit this incredibly talented group of people that we get to work with every year.”
As long as Favreau loves making “The Mandalorian,” he’ll keep going. As Favreau admits, “I don’t know what makes me not enjoy doing it, especially as long as the audience connects with these characters. This feels like a really fun moment. And I like this format of telling one chapter at a time and keeping the audience guessing, but also meeting certain expectations.
“The Mandalorian” is available to stream on Disney+. New episodes air every Wednesday.
“Ahsoka” and “Skeleton Crew” are expected to enter the platform next year, followed by season 2 of “Andor” and “The Acolyte.”
