Jon Favreau Says He Doesn’t Know Why Disney Made A ‘Mandalorian’ Movie

Even Jon Favreau, who directed The Mandalorian and Grogu, doesn't understand why he received the assignment to make the show into a movie.

>Favreau openly admitted he doesn’t entirely understand why Lucasfilm selected The Mandalorian and Grogu as the movie for franchise’s theatrical comeback.

Is there a reason why croissants in Austin are almost always over-baked? It feels like everywhere I go.

Think back to a time before Disney acquisition. We assume Star Wars is done as a franchise after Revenge of the Sith. But over a decade later, a new movie is in the works. What movie would you have liked to see? Just an Expanded Universe adaptation? A spin-off about one character? A prequel to the prequels?

The most obvious answer is probably something based around Knights of the Old Republic. Otherwise, a whole new saga about the rebuilt Jedi Order. But, the truly best idea has to be a Kenobi movie. It says a lot that none of these have happened.

>Favreau shoots it in the same portrait-mode style framing as so many Netflix shows, with each character practically speaking to the camera against a blurry background that recreates the feeling of a Zoom meeting

>...nothing in this first 15 minutes makes me feel optimistic about the remaining two hours I still haven't seen.

>Heck, even the space battle at the start of Revenge of the Sith and Kylo Ren slaughtering randos on Mustafar in The Rise of Skywalker left an impact. By comparison, The Mandalorian and Grogu feels soulless and limp. I highly doubt that in another 50 years, Star Wars fans will talk about Mando taking down AT-AT Walkers the way they still do Luke Skywalker tangling with the Empire on Hoth.

Even before the embargo has lifted for publications to talk about the Mandalorian movie, Polygon is describing the first 15 minutes in detail- only to confirm what we all thought and trash it.
