The Art of The Mandalorian Season 1
Join Children of the Watch as we dive into the behind-scenes development of The Mandalorian! In preparation for our Mandalorian Rewatch, we're using the wonderful Art of The Mandalorian Season 1 book by Phil Szostak as a jumping off point to discuss the conception of Din, Grogu, Cara Dune, Greef Karga, and the rest of the captivating Mandalorian universe. We discuss the timelines of Jon Favreau pitching the series to Kathleen Kennedy, ideas that could have been, and so much more. Could an unused ship concept from The Mandalorian go on to become a big part of the upcoming Starfighter film with Ryan Gosling? How different would the show have been if they put Carl Weathers in weequay prosthetics for his role as Greef? What media inspired the series directly? Listen now for the in-depth discussion. Next week, we'll be doing the same thing for Season 2!
