What George Lucas Really Thinks About The Mandalorian
George Lucas, the visionary behind Star Wars, has some insights on The Mandalorian. This show, particularly the first two seasons, has become a fan favorite. Although season 3 didn't quite hit the same high notes, it remains an entertaining watch. The Mandalorian and Grogu are at the forefront of the new Star Wars era. But what does Lucas think about it all?
Dave Filoni, a key creative force behind The Mandalorian, shared some behind-the-scenes details. He and Lucas collaborated closely on Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Filoni mentioned that Lucas wasn't always forthcoming with his opinions. However, he did reveal that Lucas was "very complimentary" about the first season. Lucas even visited the set during the second season's production—a significant gesture!
Lucas had one crucial suggestion: Grogu, being Force-sensitive, should receive proper training. This led to Grogu's encounters with Ahsoka and Luke Skywalker. While Grogu's story took an unexpected turn, he still received the training Lucas deemed necessary.
The Mandalorian is shaping the future of Star Wars. Lucas was a pioneer in digital filmmaking, and The Mandalorian, with its cutting-edge technology like StageCraft, is following in his footsteps. It's revolutionizing how TV shows are made.
