“Mandalorets” pumped: Pandemic could not disrupt the premiere of the second season, but the series was strengthened by a new director

The second season of the series “Mandaloretz“avoided the problems faced by American cinema in connection with the pandemic. The showrunner said this John Favreau.

According to the director, the project did not go out of schedule, so the premiere of the second season is still scheduled for October 2023 at Disney +. This is due to the fact that photography was completed before the introduction of restrictions, therefore Lucasfilm and Industrial light & magic were able to do post-production and special effects remotely without any problems.

It turned out that an additional director was involved in the filming of “Mandalorean”. This is about Sam Hargravewhich this year excelled thanks to Netflix action movie “Tyler Rake: Rescue Operation“.

In addition, lighting is also adapted to the digital scene, which facilitates the work of VFX specialists at the post-production stage. Favro’s comment on the importance of photography is connected with this.

The showrunner also touched on the past of the project, which grew out of the series about Bob Fett. As Favreau explained, the legendary mercenary died in “Return of the Jedi“however the protagonist of the series Dean Jarin was created in such a way as to correspond to the image that the members of the Mandalorets team painted themselves in their youth. Apparently, the director does not want to reveal all the cards ahead of time, however, it is known that in some form Boba Fett due to appear in season two.

The strangest thing in the current compilation of information is the news that the organizers of the award “Golden Globe“decided to revise the rules because of the” Mandalorian “.
