The Mandalorian was a huge hit with Star Wars fans!
This amazing show even ended up landing 15 Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series.
After what that most recent trilogy ended up giving us, the fans needed something to unite them again and The Mandalorian gave us this and a lot more let me tell you!
During a recent interview with Deadline, series creators Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni talked about the series and one of the things they touched on was the design of The Child, a.k.a. Baby Yoda and how it was inspired by Filoni's drawing of E.T., the title character from Steven Spielberg's 1982 classic, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial. Favreau explained:
Dave had done a sketch of kind of a Michelangelo/E.T. moment, and that was a source of inspiration. Then, Doug Chiang and the whole art department started generating drawings of it, and the Legacy [Effects] people built it.
Well, if there's one thing I can speak for all of us here, we all can’t wait to see what is in store in this new upcoming second season and exactly how they will show us the remaining story will continue to play out
