The Mandalorian BTS docuseries set to release on Star Wars Day; expect Baby Yoda’s demystification.
The first-ever live-action spin-off of the Star Wars franchise, The Mandalorian, hit the small screen in November last year. And at the end of its very first episode was introduced the greatest gift of Star Wars franchise to the internet and the meme world – Baby Yoda.
Now, with fans desperately waiting for the second season to air on Disney+, the show’s makers have a sweet surprise for this May The Fourth.
Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian
Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, a behind-the-scenes documentary on what all goes behind the making of The Mandalorian, is ready to hit the small screen on May 4th. New episodes will premiere every Friday.
Narrated by the spin-off creator Jon Favreau, the documentary will explore different aspects of the series through several interviews with the cast, crew, and production team.
In a press release from his office, Favreau described the series as an “opportunity for fans to take a look inside and get to see a different perspective, and perhaps a greater understanding of how The Mandalorian came together.”
When the show’s Mandalorian bounty hunter took a job for a former Imperial officer and the job turned out to be a green child with special powers, the internet awww-ed and cooed.
But when the stoic hunter decides to protect the child from the evil Imperials and goes on the run, the internet flipped!
However, the green bundle of joy was as much a focus of mystery as it was of adoration. Known as The Child, it was soon christened a name of its own by the internet – Baby Yoda!
While there is no explicit mention of Baby Yoda and the plethora of mysteries shrouding the 50-year-old child, we are hopeful he will be a part of the ‘greater understanding.’
Meanwhile, what we know for sure is that one of the topics to be explored in the upcoming docuseries is the special effects and props team, which brought The Mandalorian’s creatures to life.
And these creatures include what could be the latest successor of the greatest Jedi masters – The Child.
