‘The Mandalorian’: A Beloved Character From The ‘Clone Wars’ Appears & Lifts The Veil On Many Mysteries [Chapter 13 ‘The Jedi’ Review]

Star Wars creator George Lucas has defended some “pretty corny dialogue” from the prequel trilogy.In Paul Duncan’s new book The Star Wars Archives 1999-2005, Lucas elaborated on the style of the script which many read as embarrassing.“It is presented very honestly, it isn’t tongue-in-cheek at all, and it’s played to the hilt,” he said of one key moment between Anakin and Padmé, via Digital Spy.

Today, during Disney’s investor’s call, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy revealed that an untitled Ahsoka Tano series is in development at Disney+. The news isn’t entirely a surprise— former CEO chief Bob Iger had already said spin-off shows from Lucasfilm’s “The Mandalorian” were being explored.

She also appeared in a recent episode of The Mandalorian.

George Lucas was once a very promising young filmmaker working under the wing of his mentor Francis Ford Coppola in the heyday of New Hollywood, so it’s a bit depressing seeing his legacy get eclipsed by “Star Wars.” Between “American Graffiti” and “THX 1138” audiences were robbed of more distinct films by Lucas, and Ford Coppola seems to be sad that Lucas has only directed “Star Wars” movies since 1977.

Last week’s episode of “The Mandalorian” is yet another where the guest star seems to get more attention than the actual title character. Nevertheless, the most recent episode featured the full-fledged return of Boba Fett, a character that was teased earlier in the season, but fully shown in the new installment.

Despite what many people, and the digital edition of the new generation of consoles would want you to believe, it’s a great time to be a fan of physical media. Even more so than director’s cuts brought upon by relentless fan campaigns, 4K restorations are allowing filmmakers to tweak their films in more meaningful ways than adding CGI rocks in the foreground in the special edition of “Star Wars.” The latest filmmaker to take advantage of these restorations is Wong Kar-Wai.

Spoilers: but really, we already saw the man’s face and his armor. Boba Fett? Boba Fett? Where?! Ever since Disney and Lucasfilm first announced that they were making a show titled “The Mandalorian,” fans were hoping for the day the very first Mandalorian would show up on the screen.

As you may recall, but perhaps not entirely care or understand, Lucasfilm kind of broke the internet on Friday with their latest episode of “The Mandalorian.” Titled “The Jedi,” the episode finally introduced the long-rumored Rosario Dawson playing fan-favorite character Ahsoka Tano—Anakin Skywalker’s Padawan learner who was featured on the animated series “Star Wars: Clone Wars” and “Star Wars Rebels,” series that was co-created and lead by Lucasfilm’s animation chief Dave Filoni.
