THE MANDALORIAN S3: Dave Filoni & Jon Favreau confirm Grogu trained with Luke Skywalker for 2 years

[@dewbacked]

Jon: Dave, anything to add? Dave: No, I'm good... *Dave drops incredible philosophical analogy of mastering ones self discipline*

I love how the idea of the Dark Saber appearing in the Mandalorian actually came from George Lucas' suggestion from him being on set watching a scene, and then the creators of the Mandalorian were humble enough to say, you know what George you're right, that would be really cool, we're going to use this. And it actually happened and added a great deal of lore to the show!

[@stevena.simmons3203]

The darksaber predates Mandalorian (clone wars cartoon).. but YES- I agree that it's so rad they're in contact w George Lucas for development.

[@w00tbassman]

Dave F is such a thematic thinker. Its very admirable and reassuring that he is running the team.

[@CaptainRex3322]

Yeah. Jon needs to shut his mouth and let someone with real knowledge of Star Wars speak. I love how when it gets into actual deep lore, Jon just looks at Dave as he speaks like “This makes sense, right? I’m not talking gibberish?”

[@sbizzzy]

​​@@CaptainRex3322 lol chill out dude because outside of george lucas and dave no one else really has real knowledge of star wars. dave is continuing his learning of live-action with jon fav. this is the same guy who made marvel live-action successful starting with the first iron man. and if what I hear is true all the different star wars shows and characters will all come together for something huge like the avengers films...

@@sbizzzy …live action is fine. That’s not my problem. It’s Jon screwing up the lore while an actual Star Wars fan is beside him.

[@jediswitajewski8271]

Such a great video and great insights

[@peterintoronto6472]

It is interesting that they are so aware of the implications of mythologizing. They just touched on the responsibility of this. There should be a storyteller in the series (I note that in the original Star Wars there is only really one moment when the story is sort of being told to the next generation) at some point. Perhaps a historian or an archivist.

[@Kenobi_Cowboy]

Narrated by Obi Wan...

[@lmojol9673]

I’m confused as to where those two years happen… doesn’t BoBF happen immediately after season 2 of Mando? Does Mando just not have a ship for two years?

[@SkywalkingThroughNeverland]

That seems to be the question of the year.

[@barfo281]

Two years could have happened on the planet where Luke was building his Jedi academy, without 2 years going by wherever Mando was. A year on Mercury isn't the same as a year on Earth, Venus, Mars, etc.

[@lmojol9673]

@@barfo281 while you are correct, I thought the implication was 2 galactic years (or whatever they’re called).

[@veeclash4157]

So I guess the soft "retcon" is that we never saw Grogu actually choose between the saber and the shirt. And even though we the audience get the impression that Grogu made his choice right away and left, he actually spent two years training with Luke first? OR is the retcon that by the time Mando comes to the planet to visit Grogu with the beskar shirt, that happens two years after Luke had left with Grogu? In any case it feels like mental gymnastics. The training felt like a few days at best and not two years!

[@loyalcompanion2104]

Here's the truth. Disney didn't want Grogu to be gone as he is a massive cash cow, and so Favreau had no choice but to rush the reunion in a show that was supposed to be about Boba Fett- and so he had to come up with this awkward answer to cover for Disney's bullshit.

[@FilmmakerJ]

So, Jon can "say" 2 years have passed, but because we learn about Grogu's time with Luke during Boba Fett's series, I'm having a hard time seeing how you can fit 2 unaccounted years into the time-line from when Boba got out of the pit, met Mando to get his armor back, went to Jabba's palace, took over the place, and then went on his way to building his more thoughtful and considerate lordship. Because if there are 2 years unaccounted for there, I can only see that occurring between when Boba shot and killed Bib Fortuna, and maybe the moment when he fully decides to engage with the Pykes and needs Din Djarin's help. But because all of Boba's episodes were pretty in line with each other, building momentum consistently, I can only envision a week or so between each episode. Now, if you want to insert General Relativity into the mix and say that 2 years on Luke's planet are the same as 3 months on Tatooine, maybe that's what's happening here. But Star Wars has never addressed that sort of thing, precisely because as soon as something happens with the credits heist on Aldahni, everyone from Ferrix to Corruscant knows about it at the same time. So, I think he pulled that explanation out of his pants. LOL

“It takes a tremendous amount of training and discipline to wield it, you can’t just pick it up and use it”. Dave Filoni knows that Rey and the sequel trilogy was bullcrap.

[@Daniel-Strain]

Force Dyad. When Kylo tried to probe her mind in ep7 and she turned it around on him, at that moment she absorbed his experiences. That's how she knew how to do the mind trick on the Stormtrooper and use a saber, etc. So yes, she had the equivalent of some training from that link.

​@@veeclash4157 nope, the guy is saying what the novelization of the last movie said, you wanted an explanation of why she is op? There you have it, it's her dyad with Kylo Then again, maybe they should have spent a minute having the dialogue explaining the dyad thing IN THE MOVIE, and not just in a book only 10% of the people have read. And Palpatine's vague dialogues barely count, it's just a rushed introduction

[@bigmocollectibles1995]

It would have been great if this season was about Mando and the whole redemption story, while Grogu Jedi training was playing out with Luke. Going back and forth throughout the season and wondering “will they won’t they reunite”. There was no need to rush the reunion, plus we need more of Luke. I’m sure this season will be great though.

[@RaikenXion]

doesn't really feel like it's been 2 Years but whatever. 6:53 Erm, is that thor skywalker's wifey talking to Favreau & Filoni? Sounds alot like her. that's really cool learning that George Lucas actually helped advise Favreau & Filoni about including the Darksaber in the Mandalorian. this just goes to show how Disney should have NEVER thrown out his treatments for the sequel trilogy. Infact Kathleen Kennedy had a duty Not to side with Bob Iger, Alan Horn and JJ. Abrams, but to actually encourage them to use Lucas's treatments.

[@GeorgeL1994]

[@christiantamminen8998]

Love these guys. So passionate about the Start Wars universe. But with an understanding and appreciation of the Star Wars Mythology. And the films that have gone before. There should never be a Kelvin timeline in Starwars. That just negates the genius that has gone before. And a slap in the face for compelling narratives in a universe that is so much like our own. They are George Lucas's Padawan's. For sure. That is why their programmes are fan favourites. That is why the recent JJ Abrahams films failed. Because they ignored the Lore. But for these guys, the Lore IS StarWars. Hats off to them. It is because of then that the TV programmes succeeded so strongly with the fans. Why weren't these guys put in charge of the sequels movies? I haven't a clue. But the StarWars franchise is secure in the hands of people that love the StarWars Universe. When Kathleen Kennedy retires, Dave Filoni and John Fathreau should become heads of LucasFilm. And respect the Lore created by George Lucas, as they do. And the audience love it more because of that. There are no woke agendas here. Only great inclusive story telling. as it should be. As George Lucas has shown, there is room for all genders, all diversities in the StarWars universe. Because, even though it it is a Galaxy Far Far away, it is more like our own Galaxy than we can ever appreciate.

00:25 Are you telling me these two never saw that possibility? They clearly were asked by Disney to establish the grounds for a new Saga set 1000 years in the future. We know, guys. We know Disney's plan is to make the prophecy obsolete. What you both don't know is how that makes Anakin's story pointless. He's supposed to be a Mesiach figure, the most important event in the history of that universe, you can't undo that. 07:53 Dave you know what George would say: "that's great, but now show it to the audience", we never saw that in the series.
