Vi vet redan att en tredje säsong av den för Disney+ exklusiva serien The Mandalorian anländer senare i år, mycket till alla fans förtjusning. Och kanske kommer vi inte behöva vänta speciellt länge även på en fjärde säsong, något som serieskaparen Jon Favreu under en intervju med Cinema Blend under Star Wars Celebration bekräftade att han redan arbetar för fullt med.
"With television, we're very lucky that we don't have to rush things through into an hour-and-a-half, two hours. We get to tell stories slowly. So now, as Dave [Filoni]'s doing Ahsoka, it's very much informing the writing that I'm doing for [The Mandalorian] Season 4. It becomes - how should I put it - more precise."
Favreau fortsatte med att berätta om hur de utforskar potentiell överlappning mellan de många olika Star Wars-serierna.
"When I was writing the first season of Mandalorian, I could do anything, set it anywhere. Dave [Filoni] would read it, we'd go back and forth, I would adjust. And there it was. Now we have to figure out why there are certain Mandalorians who wear helmets, certain ones who don't wear helmets, what's happening on Mandalore, what's Bo-Katan doing at the time? How does she feel about that? Where is the Darksaber? So it really creates very fertile ground for imagination, for storytelling."
"I think that inevitably, no matter how simple you start, the story threads start to connect and weave and overlap. And with Dave Filoni's deep understanding of everything around the time period, opportunities will always arise when we have story meetings and conversations about, 'Well, you know what character would be here now...' I mean, that's really how the Luke thing happened. It wasn't that we necessarily planned to include Luke Skywalker in Season 2. But as we were looking for [Grogu] to get training, we started to weigh out, 'Well, what Jedi are around? Who's left?' And it started to not make sense for it not to be Luke. As we start to tell stories, those stories take on lives of their own, and they have trajectories. And then as those trajectories begin to organically intersect, larger stories with more characters start to make more sense."
Vi längtar ruskigt mycket efter den tredje säsongen av The Mandalorian och att vi nu verkar få även en fjärde säsong är strålande nyheter. Vad ser du mest fram emot bland alla kommande Star Wars-serier?
Mer Mandalorian, bara ös på!
