Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni Interview: The Mandalorian and Grogu & What Order to Watch Star Wars

After nearly a decade, Star Wars is finally returning to theaters as Disney+’s hit series The Mandalorian moves to the big screen. Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, originally meant as a fourth season of the show, co-writer and director Jon Favreau reveals to Collider’s Steve Weintraub, continues the adventure of Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu on an all-new adventure across the galaxy far, far away in a way that invites a whole new generation to the franchise that redefined science fiction on screen. From Favreau and newly-appointed Lucasfilm President Dave Filoni, in the movie, the evil Galactic Empire has fallen, with Imperial warlords scattered throughout the galaxy. As the New Republic fights to rebuild in the wake of the Rebellion, they recruit the help of legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter and his apprentice, Grogu. The movie also stars Alien’s Sigourney Weaver as the no-nonsense Colonel Ward and The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White as Rotta the Hutt, first introduced in The Clone Wars. Don’t miss our conversation with Favreau and Filoni in the video above or the transcript below, where the duo discuss bringing back galaxy fan favorites from Star Wars Rebels and Clone Wars callbacks, creating their own “New Hope” for a new generation, why the idea of Easter eggs doesn’t apply to Filoni’s Star Wars, and the future of Star Wars films and television under Filoni’s direction.
