we mandalore take everything we are and

throw it into battle it's the true test

of yourself

a battle against death against

against oblivion

[Music] one

one

helmeted bounty hunter that looked

unbelievably cool

has spawned an entire mythology

mythology

within this bigger mythology

that's a good character people like the

bad guys [Music]

man with no name because if you think

about it it still has that sort of

breakdown of eastwood's straight

brilliant health uh brim like that just

kind of old old worthy eyes yeah poncho

alive or dead it's your choice [Music]

[Applause]

the beautiful simplicity and really

underlying complex characterizations

that you get in them definitely there's

as long as i get the pain i always

so through that i learned about the

western through that i learned about

i don't want to be influenced so much by

star wars

but i want to be influenced by the stuff

that influenced george

all the great myths the primitive myths

the great stories have to be regenerated

if they're going to have any impact

impact

fantasy has no bounds

what you can do here with the new

technologies is simply extraordinary [Music]

[Music]

it's truly an adventure

five months out from their film's

theatrical debut the crew of the very

first iron man kicked off 2008 at george

lucas's skywalker ranch in marin county

california home of the greatest

post-production facilities in the world

in between reviews of the film sound

mixing writer director producer and

actor john favreau would tore the ranch

in his spare time and rediscover every

bit of the legendary sci-fi franchise

that gave the ranch its name and that he

loved as a kid a love that would inspire

his career turned to filmmaking and his

own take on marvel comics is iron man

in weeks time favreau would soon also

find himself right down the street at

big rock ranch the headquarters of

lucas's new animation division where

supervising director dave filoni gave

favro and his son a special glimpse at

what would become george lucas's final production

for generations my ancestors fought

proudly as warriors against the jedi

now that woman tarnishes the very name mandalorian

star wars the clone wars and favro's fan

favorite character pre-vizsla would only

be the beginning of a beautiful creative

friendship between favreau and filoni

one that would leave a lasting

impression for years to come

even as he went off to helm the

live-action remakes of jungle book and

lion king two of the most innovative

productions in walt disney pictures

history for their use of video game

engine technology and vr to shoot in a

virtual environment

in many ways favre embodied a bit of the

pioneering spirit of george lucas

someone invested in the kind of film

technologies that could change the

industry forever and that didn't go

unnoticed by lucasfilm president

kathleen kennedy who reached out to

favro on september 25th 2017 as the

ideal candidate to kickstart disney's

new streaming platform with the first

ever live-action star wars series

she knew favra would flourish with the

storytelling tools offered by lucasfilm

all she needed was his pitch

so favre looked back through not just

the clone wars or the many films he

already made for disney in his career

but the star wars he grew up with the

films he loved watching with his father

and the stories that carried him through

the untimely death of his mother

and gave kennedy a name as synonymous

with legend as it was with obscurity and

now boba fett star wars villain with his

laser rifle boba fett is not yet

available in stores but you can get him

free with four proofs of purchase from

any star wars action figures [Music]

[Music]

not exactly boba fett's but everything

that made his generation obsessed with

him the bounty hunter covered head to

toe in colorful armor a cool-edged

killer with the walk and talk of a

cowboy and the character who was an

action figure before he was well a character

character

yet for every kid with his action figure

in the audience of the empire strikes

back a film that told you next to

nothing about boba fetts that only made

him more interesting in concept artist

joe johnston's original artwork boba

fett was described as a super commando

and only later on would george lucas

coined him with the term mandalorian

evil warriors defeated by the jedi

knights during the clone wars or at

least that's how it went writers and

fans told their own stories of boba

fetts and the fabled mandalorians for

years to come but the biggest boom came

in 2002 with the introduction of jango

fett and attack of the clones followed

by bioware's knights of the old republic

a year later i will add your head to

those of the other jedi i have killed

and take yet another lightsaber for my own

own

before long there were books comics fan

films an official language even and

fandalorians an entire pocket of the

star wars fandom with their own colorful

mandalorian armors

eventually george lucas and dave flony

brought these elements into the clone

wars with a conflict between the

pacifistic new mandalorians and

tradition-bound death watch the

mandalorian stories of the clone wars

remain not just its highlight but some

of the greatest stories ever told in the franchise

for favro the legacy of boba fett and

the mandalorians represented the most

fascinating and untapped area of the

star wars mythos in live action and

having worked as an usher at his local

movie theater during the opening weekend

of return of the jedi as a teenager a

post return to the jedi star wars galaxy

seemed like the right place to explore it

nearing the end of production on star

wars rebels dave filoni producer cary

beck and writer christopher yost were

brought in to meet favreau and help take

his pitch to the next level as two

friends reunited the mandalorian was [Music]

born more than buck rogers or flash

gordon there were two elements buried

deep in the stars dna that favrea wanted

to pull into the foreground of the

and the western

in the time of his early career few

western directors so devoutly loved the

jedi jiki

meaning period drama and yes that's

where jedi comes from or the chanbara a

sub-genre of jedi jiki meaning sword fighting

fighting

more than george lucas the works of

legendary director akira kurosawa like

the hidden fortress or yojimbo dearly

inspired his approach to narrative and

framing on star wars while kurosawa's

go-to collaborator toshira mafune was a

blueprint for the wise and powerful ben kenobi

kenobi

on the other hand spaghetti westerns

like sergio leones once upon a time in

the west or the good the bad and the

ugly influenced much of the world and

grit of star wars while klinstwood's

laconic man with no name was a sighted

influence on jeremy bullock's mysterious

favreau loved both of these genres but

what most attracted him to them was more

than just following in lucas's footsteps

it was the reason sergio leone so ably

put together what many critics would

call a shot-for-shot remake of yojimbo

with 1964's a fistful of dollars it was

the times of relative peace and

uncertain change in post-war eras that

both genres depicted through japan's edo

period and america's reconstruction era

and it was the lens through which both

genres viewed their stories in the eyes

of the american cowboy and the wandering

samurai cinematically the knight errants

where american literary fiction leading

up to the 20th century romanticized the

sweeping vistas manifest destiny and

tough as nails outlaw's signature to the

wild west especially in the tall tales

of davy crockett buffalo bill cody and

doc holliday the western genre itself

wouldn't come to be defined until

decades later with films like john

ford's stagecoach and henry king's jesse

james classic westerns where upstanding

gunfighters often played by john wayne

or henry fonda would defend the

downtrodden opposed corrupt lawmen and

conquer all manner of wild untamed

[Applause]

inspired by the iconic outlaws of the

western directors like kurosawa and

hiroshi nagaki led a jedi jiki

renaissance in japan where films like

seven samurai chushangura or the tale of

satochi depicted samurai not in their

prime amidst japan's bloody age of civil

war but after the war and during the

tokugawa dynasty of wandering ronans or

masterless samurai and then finally in

turn samurai cinema inspired italian

directors like leone and sergio korbuchi

to twist the moralistic outlook of both

genres into the morally muddy backdrop

of the spaghetti western playing into a

greater subversion of the western genre

in america the revisionist western

though what they depicted was rooted in

reality these genres the jedi jiki and

the western would flourish into

mythologies for japan and for america

cinematic folklore of mythic characters

infused with the values of justice

cunning and bravery

or respect nobility and self-sacrifice

the same sort of values illustrated in

joseph campbell's monomyth and

subsequently star wars a contemporary

storytelling canvas that has only grown

more mythological in spirit with each

new entry into its canon

for the star wars story he was about to

tell favreau wanted to take all of these

elements and meld them into a setting

that wasn't just influenced by the

western or jedi jiki mythology

[Music]

a lawless outer rim where gunslingers

bandits ex-soldiers and ronins alike

along with all the age-old tales that

follow them

the galactic civil war is over and the

empire's all but finished yet the newly

established republic hasn't yet secured

its foothold resulting in an unruly

landscape that resembles something of

the edo period or reconstruction era a

time as susceptible to change as it is

to stagnation director of photography

greg frazier and cinematographer baz

idoine capture this feeling throughout

the show's first season with the open

stage the iconic western landscape what

film critic dave kerr describes as a

blank page to be written on the promise

of something new [Music]

[Music]

there is some law to the land like the

bounty hunters guild no pucks for you

now get out of here

but otherwise as will glean from a

decaying most sizely stormtroopers

cowering from the public eye a cantina

run by droids or even the kuwaiki and

monkey lizard once in the court of

decadent huts to now the spit roast is

that the natural order of things has

been turned upside down there's no star

wars to be nobly fought and no lukes

hans or leia's in sight only a galaxy

that doesn't quite know what's next on

its plate

yet for a few lone gun fighters it's in

that the gratuity the mandalorian like

the boba fett before him is a bounty

hunter as cold and unforgiving as the

landscape that isolates him from the

show's very first frames and

relentlessly efficient in his trade to

quote ben kenobi he may be more machine

than man few things face him and far

fewer can draw their gun faster we have

you four to one

i like those odds from the t visor of

his helmet resembling the brim of a hat

to his economical use of dialogue mando

immediately invokes the eastwood

gunslinger of stoicism and lawlessness

especially when set against a galaxy of

characters favra wrote to be particularly

particularly

verbose if you've never seen the

fledgling mithral evacuate your thorax

your lucky guy trust me

he may not ride a horse but the steel

gray ship he flies is no less an

extension of himself

at the same time the real man behind the

mandalorian pedro pascal was directed

most explicitly to internalize mufune

sanduro from yojimbo

mando isn't just a gunslinger but a

warrior pledged to a strict code of

honor and tradition much like the

samurai bushido to an underground clan

of fellow mandalorians headed by the

aptly named armorer this is the way

mandalorians are rewarded in the glory

of battle reflected in their coveted

best scar armor effectively the samurai

armor of star wars just as the armorers

forge evokes the ancient tradition of

japanese steel swordsmithing there are

many edicts to the life of a mandalorian

but one rule stands above all

never take off your helmet

to do so might be an even greater

dishonor than the removal of a samurai's

top knot [Music]

[Music]

altogether mando is favro's samurai

gunslinger a figure more mythic than

human utterly indiscernible from the

symbol's code and tradition he sworn his

everything to yet

yet

something more lurks behind the silver

dome of his helmet a one-way mirror to

the mind of a mystery more angular and

oozing with menace than even the helmet

of boba fett

a quiet suggestion that perhaps

mando needs disorder for it may very

well keep at bay

a lone wolf always at motion always

running from the mechanized demons of a

deeply traumatic past

if he ever stops to face them he'll be

as helpless as the little boy he was then

then

but if he finds order a system that

insures his demons

or anyone for that matter will never

catch up to him

he can be ruthless

he can be

this is the core conflict for the

mandalorian as much as it was for the

edo ronin or american gunfighter law

versus lawlessness and order versus chaos

chaos

like all the stock genre figures that

surround him from the bartender to the

rancher or the banditos mando is content

living his life exactly as it is

never breaking from the myth and never

deviating from a perfectly endless loop

favro on the other hand

is not interested in that [Music]

[Music]

what favreau wants from the mandalorian

is not necessarily a cunning anti-hero

or a devout warrior

he wants something

he wants mando to find something or

someone that can break his cycle of

control it won't be nick nolte's queel

though he's but the first and wisest of

many faces who will guide mando forward

instead it's the one thing that he can't

repel against what he can't point a gun to

true to the violent lonely path that's

long molded him what amanda will find is

actually the very thing he's been

[Music]

a little baby yoda

yoda

no less helpless than the fractured

a fractured child

mando made a choice

and it's going to turn his whole world

with the little green raisin now joined

at his hip our protagonist is no more

the mandalorian with no name than he is

the lone wolf and cub very much of the

wildly popular manga film and tv

franchise of japan in the 1970s and 80s

where the fearsome ronin and assassin

for hire ogami ito wandered edo japan

with his infant son daigoro

in a baby stroller lone wolf and cub

found success for a multitude of reasons

but its most compelling ideas were

rooted in the foil between ito and

digoro the conflict that arose between

pursuing vengeance and being a father in

the mandalorian the foil of the child

complicates everything fermando pretty

much immediately

he's harassed by hunters his ship is

stripped apart by jawas and despite

their puny disposition

they practically hand his ass to him

amanda was reluctant to tame the blurg

but he's even more reluctant to ask for

queel's help to subside his lone wolf nature

nature

the child throws mando's entire sense of

order for a loop and he doesn't like it

positively absurd measures will be

needed to retain it and both favreau and

director rick famajiwa capitalize on

that in every moment of chapter two from

a heated alliance with jawas to a mud

caked brawl with the unmatched mud horn

all the while mando is increasingly

unwilling to loosen any more of his grip

on the rigid order he desperately needs

he'll even die in the name of it bested

in honorable albeit humiliating battle

by superior foe but

but

[Music]

instead he witnesses something beyond

a feat capable of shattering anyone's

fragile notion of the universe

if there was a word to describe it

whatever it was

it might only be fate

fate

a force to once again suggest that the

mandalorian's order is not meant to be kept

kept

but broken [Music]

[Music]

for one reason or another the universe

has linked mando with the child

he can cling to the familiar validation

of his warrior ways as much as he wants

he can even use its spoils to reclaim

his lost order a suit of armor strong

enough to hide the gaping emotional

insecurities his previous suit

apparently could not

but by the same token he acquired this

armor because of baby yoda

fate might ordain it to serve another

purpose contrary to his hunter ways yet

entirely befitting of them to shield

that little green raisin from everything

he could not shield from his younger

self he made a choice in sparing the

child but now a different kind of choice

lies before him a choice thrust upon one

generation's hero to the next

moreover for the galaxy trotting journey

that unbeknownst to mando surely lies

ahead the beginning of an odyssey

like odysseus himself and the greek poet

homer's epic poems mando will trek or a

few souls and even fewer mandalorians

have gone before through unforgiving

badlands tangled swamps and frozen

wastes deadly trials of cunning and

bravery in the crossroads of legends to

myth themselves

it won't lead home fernando yet knows no

such a place but it does lead somewhere

and it will take a long long time to get

there testing his bond with his newfound creature

creature

every step of the way

how can one be a coward if one chooses

this way of life

this is

this is the way

camera started rolling on chapter one of

huckleberry the internal code name for

the mandalorian on october 1st 2018

coming after just nine months of

meticulous pre-production in other words

for a lucasfilm production of this

caliber a very tight schedule compared

to a typical star wars film the

mandalorian would have half the budget

but double the run time

and according to lucasfilm vice

president and production designer doug

chang the art department had what a

third of their usual time to make

designs yet through both the guidance

and creative partnership between favro

and filoni work that should have been

as faro and filoni pitch story ideas for

each episode flony would sketch out key

visuals for the art department just as

he did in his seasonal story meetings

with lucas on the clone wars expediting

the initial design process considerably

designs were approved in only two or

three rounds and occasionally right from

the first iteration favre knew exactly

what he wanted from every aspect of the

show yet relied on every artist's work

to inspire the final touches of each

script a collaboration akin to lucas's

directing style of the star wars saga

however in front of the camera the same

free-flowing style of collaboration

would be a lot more difficult even with

a formidable budget of 15 million per

episode favreau and filoni dealt with

the constraints of the tv medium sets

would need to be cost efficiently built

reused and repurposed wherever possible

as would costumes and props from former

stars productions like rogue one be

reused and modified for the show

even then a staggering amount of either

vfx work or location shooting would be

unavoidable and both could be costly

favro didn't just need one of the best

crews in the tv industry he needed

technology that didn't exist yet

technology that not only favro had

worked a pioneer on the digital

playgrounds of jungle book and lion king

but dp greg frazier on the set of rogue

one that's what led favro frazier and

visual effects supervisor richard bluff

after many months of experimenting to

invent one of the most revolutionary

film technologies over the last two decades

decades

the ilm stagecraft

or as the crew called it the volume

we have put together a system

whereby which we can have game engine

real-time render and video wall

technology coming together

to create a backdrop for the big

beautiful world of star wars

it feels like a real three-dimensional

environment surrounding you because it

is a three-dimensional environment [Music]

[Music]

because of the volume the vfx pipeline

that's been traditionally used in the

film industry over the last several

decades was now flipped most visual

effects are instead created in

pre-production rather than post and

implemented in epic games is unreal

engine and yes it's that epic games

there's still some vfx work to be done

in post-production but what's there and

camera at the start could be adjusted on

the fly allowed actors to give better

performances with their surroundings and

didn't require the endless compositing

of green or blue reflections from a

highly reflective main character a

luxury c-3po did not benefit from in the

prequels well it couldn't possibly be as

bad as all that

in some ways the volume serves as a

fitting full circle evolution to the

early days of the western where the

matte background once provided illusory

western scenery the volume projects a

photorealistic environment it's just one

of the many ways the mandalorian and

pretty much everyone involved in it was

trying to push the tv medium forward

just like the show's approach to previz

or pre-visualization a commonplace

practice for high budget action movies

but once again not in the way pharah

wanted to use it unusually favro's team

of episodic directors were brought in

well before their days of shooting to

work with vfx and the editorial team to

pre-visit the entirety of their

respective episodes for taiko ati

deborah chao and bryce dallas howard

this process allowed them to make

conscious decisions about their episodes

early on producing a blueprint for each

department to follow including ilm's

volume for rick famaiwa motion capture

and stunt work could be rehearsed well

in advance and used in previz to craft

the perfect action sequence and for dave

filoni this process was right at home

with his experience in animation where

every episode was traditionally

assembled first in previz and in the

case of the clone wars exclusively in

previz without any storyboards it's a

pipeline that has more in common with

animation than live action and pulled

just about every department closer

together in unison [Music]

[Music] [Applause]

this guy

on a recorder

i never got it recorded

in the woods in the

woods even ludwig gorenson frequent

collaborator of ryan coogler and

childish gambino the mandalorian was an

opportunity to push the star wars sound

forward with a genre bending score

mashing the orchestral elements of john

williams together with the electric

guitars and spaghetti western fare of

enya morikone

and the influences of hip-hop

hip-hop

it's an element that seems like it would

never work in star wars but it does

capturing the same sort of

cross-cultural fusion anime fans might

recognize from nujabes's hip-hop

inspired score from samurai champloo

or rza's similarly genre bending score

for ghost dog the way of the samurai

both projects are token demonstrations

of the odd many intersections between

hip-hop and samurai culture and modern

media where a newer underground sound is

juxtaposed with traditional japanese

culture to ultimately deconstruct the

dominant structures and ideas of the

samurai for gorenson this type of sound

challenged the dominant musical canon of

star wars as much as it did the

mandalorian himself always represented

by a lone base recorder despite how many

[Music]

foreign music is one of the many ways

the audience is permitted to infer the

emotions of an emotionally complicated

protagonist alongside the careful

physical performance of pedro pascal

and his two doubles grandson of western

icon john wayne brendan wayne and

martial artist latif crowder where even

their smallest gestures mean something

of a character imbued with stillness or

frazier and iduan's deliberate camera

composition and movement with the

editorial team's attention to shot

length and age-old techniques like the

kushlav effect yes that one from your

freshman film class to attribute emotion

to a faceless character this concerted

approach was invaluable and forging the

bond between mando and baby yoda in the

first few episodes but it's especially

necessary through the middle chapters of

season one

as amanda was set loose on a distant frontier

from kurosawa's seventh samurai or john

sturgis american remake the magnificent

seven if you will in sanctuary

then the filoni's ode to the young and

old gunslinger team up of the western

particularly sam peck and paw's tv

series the westerner with the gunslinger [Music]

[Music]

and then to an utterly star wars take on

the tried and true ragtag heist plot

with the prisoner [Music]

[Music]

in another sense mando is lost in the

star wars mythology itself crossing

paths with all the delightfully rubber

masked figures and obscure characters

often relegated to the background the

rebel trooper the imperial sniper the

devaronian or the shuttle bay mechanic

in addition to the ugnot ig droid and

all the while

we are never lost with mando himself

despite the show's predilection for an

episodic approach more akin to shows

like the westerner or wanted dead or

alive than the perceived drama series of

the streaming age there is always an

emphasis on mando he knows his life has

been changed and some of his order

relinquished but that won't stop him

from carrying on as if it hasn't from

clinging to the ordinary world he's

even if that only confronts him with the

and a local community of krill farmers

who've lost their peace to clantonian raiders

raiders

mando and in part dune are trying to

stay in one kind of place in an

environment they can control

but fate just won't let them do that

instead they're being pushed forward

towards what isn't clear

though it's certainly not more order

and so

they must put aside their lone wolf ways

and give a community the tools to fight back

[Music]

even after the smoke has cleared and

peace is returned to the farmers being

part of a community that accommodates

for his needs as much as he accommodates

for theirs is not something mando's

trauma permits him to have he still

won't take his armor off literally and

figuratively and because he never had

the stability growing up he'd rather

give it to the child even if doing so

would only hand down his abandonment

he'll get over it [Music]

[Music]

no matter his decision mando and the

child must remain on the move heading

where he and the ronin gunfighters he

embodies have always been welcome to go

a landscape as befitting of outlaws as

but manda won't quite find what he's

looking for there either in the time

that's passed the mercenaries that have

hunted down mando only regurgitate the

same detached drivel he once told his targets

the shoe isn't just on mando's other

foot mando is changing revealed to us in

the shadows of the former selves that

hound him and none may represent that

better than toro calikin you can keep

the money all of it i just need this job

[Music]

toro initially seems harmless if not

just a bit green behind the ears however

in filoni's words he understands

gunslinging from pulp novels but he

doesn't understand the reality of it

that it's a real job

toro is the mandalorian without his code

of honor someone who greedily views only

for personal glory and gain regardless

of what it takes to achieve it he is

what manda was looking for in tatooine

but not what he expected the

cold-blooded hunter indifferent to the

universe around him inevitably

toro only shows him the futility of

going back to that there's no more glory

in the hunt for him he has greater

concerns greater responsibilities now

and it's only at the wrong moment that

[Music]

you would be foolish to challenge any

mandalorian but mando most of all

not because he's the deadlier killer

but because he's much more than that

in hangar 3-5 mando decides for the

first time

that the child isn't to be given away

and certainly not to be sold

that child

and yet that won't stop mando from

trying one last time to retreat to

something anything that'll restore his

but mando's most desperate stop is a

blurry one introduced in congested

close-ups showing us how unfamiliar

mando's grown with the crime world he

once knew

not with the optics he has now anyway

and somehow this retreat

hello mando

mando is partnered with the lowest of

low lifes we've met so far as a rational

selfish and delusional former gangmates

even with the helmet on mando's body

language around them reads of immense discomfort

discomfort [Music]

[Music]

they haven't changed one bit from their

days of running jobs but according to them

them

neither has mando and coming from these guys

guys

that's a scary accusation but then in

the republic prison we see an odd line

of morality we haven't seen before

ormando once disintegrated jaw was

without second thought or encased his

targets in carbonites with the candor of

a horror movie villain he now refuses to

pull the trigger to be the gunslinger

mando may not realize it but he's

developing a conscience a capacity for

empathy he's never had before and to no

one's surprise but his own it cost him

though the underworld's no place for a

conscience it's also beneath a man of

mando's resilience because it'll take

far more than a jail cell to keep him

[Music]

by the end of amanda's short-lived

retreat the good old days are gone

despite what he might say sarcastically

or not though mando has found himself in

almost every predicament out of

necessity to survive a brutal paycheck

to paycheck lifestyle with a reticle on

his head the truth that's been shown to

[Music]

he's just not the same tough guy he used

to be i told you that was a bad idea

he's out of place wherever he goes and

at odds with just about everyone he

might have once called an ally

everyone except the child

to an extent he's resisted the hero's

journey clutching to the ordinary at

every opportunity and though it hasn't

stopped him from who he's becoming

it has enabled him to suppress the

deepest darkest part of himself the fear

that defined his lone wolf nature in the

first place [Music]

[Music]

nevertheless the journey so far has

wearied mando of some things carl

weathers grief karga extends a true

stomando and invites him back to the

guild back to just a little bit of his

lost order

however the imperial remnant is also

there in force and will need to be dealt

with to clear his bounty for good if

it's to be a battle of law versus

lawlessness then mando may just need a

magnificent seven of his own

give or take a few members [Music]

[Music] wow

wow [Music]

production on the mandalorian's first

season lasted about four months from

october to february 2019. most episodes

were shot concurrently including filoni

chao and watiti's episode set on navarro

while the last episode to be shots was

actually the gunslinger all throughout

the overlapping schedule each director

covered second unit on another

director's episode effectively the

mandalorian is the product of a shared

vision between several directors

disguised as a purely episodic experience

experience

this directorial band of mercs as

favreau described them was the basis for

mando's own band of mercs in the

reckoning the tough as nails

heavy-hitting car dune

and gentle nurturing queer might seem

worlds apart in every conceivable way

fermando heck they even fought for

opposing sides of the war but they've

all mando included walked the same

rugged path in isolation

adrift and without cause they've enjoyed

their time out on the frontier but

amanda will extend to them a bit of what

he found on his own

something worth fighting for

they just need to take the difficult and

treacherous step of counting on each

other as much as they've counted on themselves

themselves [Music]

[Music]

in the art of the mandalorian phil

sostak writes the mandalorian is both in

front of and behind the camera a

broadening of perspective exploring a

lesser known but still vital thread in

the rich fabric of star wars for the

crew behind the camera the revolutionary

workflow of the volume certainly

broadened their perspective but it's

these two chapters on navarro that allow

that sentiment to fully bear fruit

before the camera in qui-gon's words

there's always a bigger fish and that's

no less true of what awaits our heroes

the hapless stormtroopers wallowing in

navarro storehouses suggested early on

that the imperial remnant couldn't be weaker

weaker

but the startlingly formidable and very

well-armed garrison reinforced to the town

town

proves entirely otherwise

the tide of the law is stronger than any

part of the galaxy has led on

raised in opposition to an equal tide of chaos

chaos

conversely we've never traversed navarro

from its interminable lava flats an open

stage hidden from sight it is the

backdrop of an arduous journey and a

wild frontier but remember also

as queel's once imposing blurgs are

carried away by monsters like mice

another kind of perspective broadens for

grief karga

molded by a world of outlaws of

deception distrust and gunslinging grief

receives the last thing he'd ever expect

from anyone [Music]

the child heals him without hesitation

without regard for who grief really is

and just as that's left an unmissable

impact on mando it'll convict grief in a

the miraculous kindness of a child

didn't just bring these four outlaws together

together

it may be the first and only thing to

ever give grief a spine the chance to

consider what amanda's been considering

since he first laid eyes on the child

now liberating navarro won't just be

about the possibility of freedom but

that's something new we've been teased

from the very beginning redemption

however triumphant these gunfighters

hope to be

favro and chow won't let them go before

the offer of a vile devil's advocate a

bigger fish than the client [Music]

[Music]

a man with no honor and no respect for

his agreements or his men he is the

archetypal lawman but against an

unraveling outlaw like mando his

villainy runs deeper the war that

heralded this lawless time it never

ended for him instead the past and all

the trauma that goes with it that keeps

people like mando on foot is his playground

playground

and it's completely under his control

you have something i want

you may think you have some idea what

you're in possession of

but you do not

giancarlo esposito's moth gideon

embodies everything mando could spiral

into the violence he might eventually

carry out to restore the sense of

control he's desperately lacking the

past glory he'll cling on to just to

have it and the honor he'll willfully

disavow to pursue such ignoble goals in

the pantheon of star wars villains he

shares the same refusal to let go as

figures like vader or maul and commando

he cuts to the core of his mysterious

facade where dinjarin has been reluctant

to broaden his perspective

gideon refuses altogether because he

believes he already knows everything

just as you betrayed our business

arrangement i would gladly break any

promise and watch you die in my hand [Music]

[Music]

surviving the trial of moth gideon won't

just take guns which for the record it

will take a lot of guns but the capacity

to resist what gideon represents

our heroes can't keep looking over their

shoulder they have to find the means to

look forward the means to accept what

they can't control and the duty thrust

upon them grief found it in finally

showing his spine kara finds it in

fighting imperials and queel finds it in

engineering something not for war

for denjarin the means to look forward

is right in front of him as much as it

is behind him and whether it was an

astromech a battle droid a protocultroid

or an ig unit he's met each and every

one of them with the same hostility

reinforced by his past and for a man

who's predicated his entire survival on

moving fast enough to avoid a

confrontation with it ig 11's

reprogramming hardly strikes him any

differently as he's resisted the

uncertain implications of change in his

own life mando stubbornly refuses the

same of a droid to accept otherwise

would be to upheave the whole foundation

of his being it would be as if he died

that very day

do it

do what

just get it

all but on a day every bit as fiery and

bleak as then where his fate was first

sealed behind two mandalorian chest

plate shaped doors din

din

opens them

and instead of it scaring him [Music]

[Music]

face to face with his own mortal enemy

then begins to see himself

himself

mando spent years trading his humanity

to embody the very thing he feared most

the only thing he could become to ensure

he would never hurt that much again

but then came the little guy and all the

chaos that came with him the child as

dins means to look forward and the duty

thrust upon him

is to be his father [Music]

[Music]

a father

someone capable of defending the

defenseless looking after their needs

and leading them to their people

how does anyone prepare themselves for that

that

in these regards ig 11 not only reflects

who mando's been but who he now needs to

self sacrificing

willing to plunge himself into harm's

way at a moment's notice

for if a machine can change

all he needs to do is finally accept the

nudge of fate

and move forward

forward [Music]

our heroes survived gideon's trial

because they adapted

the age of lawlessness won't be forever

and times are bound to change but that

doesn't mean the empire has to come with

that change there is a balance out there somewhere

somewhere

between order and chaos grief and kara

might find theirs on navarro but amanda

will need to venture so much farther to

find his

as den pays his respects to the cowboy

that first showed him the way

a new chapter begins and what has become

a never-ending journey no matter how

weary he is with the trail behind him

the mandalorian looks to the horizon

wider than ever before

so [Music]

pre-production on huckleberry season two

had fired up even before the end of

season one's production in january of 2019

2019

with a much better grasp of the volume

favro and filoni based much more of

their story around pushing its limits

physically technically and narratively

the volume was rebuilt and reconfigured

both for lower light scenarios and more

dynamic backdrops pharaoh falloni and

famihiwa kept their scripts simple and

gave season two's directors new and old

more hands-on freedom than ever

the difference right from the first

episode is unquestionably felt though

the mandalorian was still rooted to its

grounded western feel the mythic

spectacle it would soon bring to the tv

favro's first round in the mandalorian

director chair would be to tell its

tallest tale yet after crossing paths

and throwing hands with the star wars

cyclops mando ventures beyond the

tatooine we know to the forgotten town

of moss palgo straight out of high

plains drifter

partnered with timothy oliphant's cobb

vance the marshal derived from the

marshals of western filmography like

henry fonda's simon frye these two

knights in somewhat shining armor unite

the indigenous tuscans and people of

moss pelgo to slay a fearsome dragon

while vanth himself is an intersection

between many star wars legends fett's

armor anakin's podracer and chuck

wendig's aftermath novel the krait

dragon is practically a legend to the

star wars canon itself as idawin's

imagery invokes lawrence of arabia dune

and even a bit of jaws while favro

delivers arguably the single most

thrilling set piece in star wars since

the trench run a battle that cements the

glory of the mandalorian himself [Music]

[Music]

as mando rides off into the sunset the

definitive visual of the western chapter

9 certifies the rich and mystical

backdrop of the mandalorian where

western eastern and star wars myth come

to life and endure forever

chapter nine opened with mando's

stepping foot where we've never seen him before

before

a darker dangerous civilized world the

antithesis to the open stage wherein the

law has already run its course

later on amanda will find himself not in

outlaw havens but places like trask

corvus and under greece renovation

navarro well-oiled communities that have

moved on or tried to move on with the

times and though the new republic's

foothold is still but a shadow of their

former government even they will exert

oversight where there was once chaos

the empire's prior feud over navarro was

an omen and the opening scene of chapter

nine only solidifies it the wild west is ending

ending

the storybook landscape where the

embellished myths of gunslingers and

samurai like could roam is beginning to

close and the myth itself

and part of why it's dwindling is tied

to why it was initially thriving the

parallel between a post-war star wars

galaxy in both reconstruction america

and edo japan [Music]

[Music]

entering the 1960s and 70s the american

culture that once embraced the cowboy

the idealized self-image of america's

free-thinking gun-toting justice was

starting to grow out of the western as

the u.s became further and further

embroiled in a morally muddy cold war

one that would come to redefine how many

americans saw their government and

themselves the image of the cowboy

changed they were no longer the ringo

kid or wyatt earp but butch cassidy and

the sundance kid they were the wild

bunch they were the stranger they were

all a dying breed living on the very

edge of america's progressive era either

unwanted by society or trapped in one

that couldn't be saved technology

modernization and lawful reform stamped

them out as much as it stamped out the

wild frontier as such most westerns set

and after more than 50 years of defining

redefining reinventing and remaking the

western over and over audiences largely

lost interest in the cowboy samurai

cinema never died out in quite the same

way but it did lose its prominence and

for some of the same reasons

overexposure aging stars of the genre

the decline of the japanese film

industry and the changing self-image of

japan an image again defined by

modernization as japanese society was

reeling further and further from world

war ii

and becoming increasingly tied to

western trade through the cold war

invariably films like karakiri samurai

assassin or lady snowblood were either

set in the waning days of the ido era or

critiqued the feudal traditions the japanese self-image was growing further

japanese self-image was growing further and further from

and further from many westerns have been made since the

many westerns have been made since the 70s and today like unforgiven or 310 to

70s and today like unforgiven or 310 to yuma as have samurai films like the

in the mandalorian a similar unraveling of myth is taking place in spite of

of myth is taking place in spite of every evidence to the contrary

every evidence to the contrary like the gunfighter or ronin

like the gunfighter or ronin mandalorians are becoming fewer and

mandalorians are becoming fewer and farther between the first one mando does

farther between the first one mando does encounter isn't a mandalorian at all

even more so than his past trauma mando has already sacrificed a lot of that
