The Mandalorian is what happens when you let people who truly love the franchise handle Star Wars. Dave Filoni is a master, and so is Favreau.

[@michaelnally2841]

Reuben Seldo I think it helps that both have experience working in the Star Wars franchise. Jon Favreau played pre visla(ironically a Mandalorian) in the clone wars, and Filoni working on other animated Star Wars shows.

I really liked Pedro’s injury story. Imagine him trying to explain why he had the extra blood on his face without revealing one of the biggest spoilers in the show. And the 501st getting to be on set was great too.

[@Cissablack708]

Can you imagine being a nurse or doctor treating him? Like my stupid A Song of Ice and Fire loving ass would be like "holy shit I'm stitching up prince Oberyn... how could you just die on me like that?! Viper my ass! Please dont die on screen again my mental capacities cant take it."

[@madelinegarber7860]

Omg same! I’d have a really hard time keeping cool. I’d probably lean down under some pretense and be like please don’t die on me again. I can’t take another head squashing. It’s too much having him in probably my top 2 shows.

Tbh, the music being so different was one of the aspects I loved about the show. That someone finally did dare to step away from the original movie scores.

[@Redwallfan_1]

I like that it's original music but still feels very "Star Wars"-y, sometimes paying homage to the original score in subtle ways. I think it's a genius way to handle the music of this show.

@@sophiawilson8696 I agree! It may not have been the giant, galaxy-shaping space epic that we often expect from Star Wars, but then again neither was the story of Empire in a way.

[@thudthud5423]

Werner Herzog did a fantastic job as the sinister 'Client", a former high ranking Imperial officer. Watching him get all bubbly over "the Child" (aka, "Baby Yoda") is a hilarious departure from that role. Sometimes I think fans can get overzealous to the point of over-dorkiness. Case in point - The 501st. But, when I found out that these guys (and gals) not only got to act in that scene, but found out they were when they arrived on set, I was thrilled for them. I hope Jon Favreau can use them again. Carl Weathers, the penultimate tough guy, nearly got teary eyed when Gina Carano praised him for his acting in Disney+'s behind the scenes docu-series. Star Wars has an unmistakable score. Even "Rogue One's" score sounded like a John Williams piece. "The Mandalorian's" score is fantastic and is a new iconic brand of Star Wars music. While Williams' music has a "fantasy" feel to it (which is fitting given its knights, princesses, wizards, etc), Gorensen's score has the very definite gritty Western gunslinger feel. I actually think the series would have done WORSE with John Williams scoring it, as great as a composer as he is. The Volume is fantastic technology. It could very easily replace green screen. John Wayne's grandson is one of the Mandalorian stand-ins. How great is that?

[@NandiCollector]

Pedro pascal was actually admitted into the hospital recently. He had severe back damage from carrying the entire star wars universe on his back.

[@racheldavin7763]

Love this show, have watched most of the docu-series. The moment that took my breath away was Bryce Dallas Howard talking about being a child, traveling to Japan with her father, & having dinner with George Lucas & Akira Kurosawa. I. literally. gasped. out. loud. Can you even imagine listening to the two of them having a conversation? 😳 Mind. Blown.

[@grahamcann1761]

On of my fondest memories of being a puppeteer, in the 70's, was coming out from behind the stage after a show, with one of the puppets, and interacting with the children, "in character." Obviously the puppet, on my knee, would be under my control, and I was no ventriloquist, but the kids wouldn't talk with the puppet as if it were alive, and I wasn't there, and it was wonderful! As always thank you so very much for your video.

[@pwallace5359]

Graham Cann , Wow that’s awesome. I would have loved that as a child. Actually, I’d still enjoy that. 😁

[@JoeyJoestar99]

I am so so happy, that they went with the puppet route for the child.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

The involvement of the 501s is quite epic. I wish there will be other fan groups who could contribute to the future episodes

[@zacmumblethunder7466]

In 1993 the BBC tried something similar for a Dr Who charity TV special. They asked fans to take part in monster and alien costumes from across the show's previous 30 years for a big crowd scene. According to one of the production team, it turned into a complete nightmare as the fans were arguing with the director about every tiny aspect of their performances, when all they were required to do was walk around a set.

[@Mysikrysa]

There will be Mandalorian fan group(s) in S3.

[@AspenFrostt]

the xwing pilot who pulls over mandos razor crest was actor Paul Sun-Hyung Lee who just happened to be a superfan of star wars and also had an xwing pilot costume ready to go

[@KimmieKayy]

What a joy the music is. I listen to it all the time.

[@thamomentum]

Fun Fact: The 501st have a few veterans (one Canadian Forces) in them who quite literally give crash courses to proper cadence, miltary decorum, and drills. That's why when you see the formation - it looks so well put together.

[@Shinobito1]

These are the Star Wars we were looking for. These are the Star Wars we longed for. These are the Star Wars real fans deserve.

[@Rhys-Lightning]

My favourite moment(s) in the behind-the-scenes series is whenever Dave Filoni talks, just watch Jon Favreau. He looks at Dave with sparkles in his eyes, like he's just truly fascinated with everything he has to say. There are even moments when he knows Dave has something to add but isn't speaking up, Jon will interrupt the conversation and put his hand on Dave's shoulder and ask him, like a shy child, a question that gets him involved in the conversation. Jon is clearly a Filoni fanboy and I love it so, so much. You can see it in his body language, hear it in his voice, and see it in his eyes. But also notice that whenever Kathleen Kennedy talks, you actively see Jon move away from her, sometimes with his arms folded, and be like "Yeah, whatever" and move the conversation along. There's definitely some bad blood there between them. You can see it

Another Sheev Palpatine right, but that works for many characters in popular franchises... even Star Trek, and (at least for the 2nd film through to the 6th (though in the 4th they changed it up for most of the time they were in 1986)) they all wore pretty much the same red and black uniforms with only subtle differences in rank insignia and turtleneck color.

3:22 My FAVORITE story out of all of the other ones in this video! Believe it or not, and if I remembered correctly, I think I cosplayed alongside the 501st Legion with another Star Wars fan group known as The North Ridge as a Generic Jedi Knight. My dream is to hopefully be involved in any major project relating to Star Wars one day, or acting/voice acting. So far, Star Wars Night at Sahlen Field has been THE closest I have ever gotten to acting/voice acting, reading my own lines for the very first time, saying said lines while I'm being filmed for multiple scenes (or Episodes), and saying my final line out on the field during the live show part of the event. I am in Episodes III, and VI. Fun Fact: My character name in Star Wars Night was actually the OC name of my dad's Jedi Knight character before he decided to be his all-time favorite Star Wars Jedi Master: Qui-Gon Jinn.
