So far, I’m loving the hell out of this third season of The Mandalorian! The storytelling is just so great! I’ve been floored by every episode I watch, and they continue to remind me of why I love the Star Wars franchise! And this is just the beginning! There’s so much more coming in The Mandalorian universe!
We’ve also got Star Wars: Ahsoka and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, which are part of this universe, and it’s all going to be building up to something big and exciting. Dave Filoni recently talked about the storytelling happening in the timeline of the Star Wars universe and the shape that it could take as it continues. He told The Wrap:
"Well, from a certain point of view, it could. It could build to a climactic thing and The Mandalorian could still go on. It's not necessarily an either/or, is it? It's an interesting way to think about it. I tend to think, as we've been working on the The Mandalorian and then writing Ahsoka, and then Jon Watts came in with Skeleton Crew, there is an entire time period that is post-Return of the Jedi. And I look at that time period, which before The Force Awakens, is around 30 years of time. When you look at the original trilogy, it's a much less significant amount of time that those three movies take place in. And so, what I like is that we're really building very slowly an ecosystem of characters and politics and events in the post-Return of the Jedi time period. And that may or may not expand in a bigger way as we add more shows to it and add more characters to it."
He went on to discuss his storytelling process, how everyone is communicating with each other, and also teases a big event, saying:
"The good thing is that we're all talking creatively together about where these stories are all going. And I love whiteboards, and I whiteboard everything and have timelines. They always start back with The Phantom Menace and they always go out to The Rise of Skywalker. I have all these slots in between and where everybody's doing everything, so I can look at it all and commiserate with Kathy on what's going on here, what's going on there? It's very fun. I think that the reality of there being a big event in this time period is very real, is all I would say to that. But yes, if Jon wanted to keep making Mandalorian stories, as long as he does not get bumped off in said titanic event, then they, I suppose, could continue. There doesn't seem to be any lack of interest in Grogu and Mando, that's for sure."
It’s exciting to think about what all of these Star Wars stories could lead to! But, in the meantime, I’m just going to enjoy the hell out of the projects that Filoni and Favreau and delivering. I’m enjoying this ride and I’m strapped in for the long haul!
