The Reason Rian Johnson Can't Direct An Episode For 'The Mandalorian' Season 3
The Mandalorian has been a great success among both Star Wars and TV fans. The fast paced action, well written characters, feel-good wholesome moments, and a proper amount of fan service have endeared the show to millions. The adorable little green baby helps, as well. A large part of the success of the show comes from the talented cast and crew that Disney and Lucasfilm have brought onboard. Headed up by Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, they have added the likes of Pedro Pascal, Rosario Dawson, and Carl Weathers in front of the camera and Deborah Chow, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Taika Waititi behind the scenes. While season 3 of the hit show may seem entirely too far away for the liking of many fans (including this writer), there is no end to the speculation, fan casting, and scouring the internet for leaks.

It's no secret that George Lucas' early ideas for Star Wars were, to put it lightly, very, very different from the final product we got. His original drafts featured everything from Luke being a 65-year old man with a robot head to Han Solo as a weird alien, which would have been detrimental to the film, and the story beats were all over the place. It wouldn't have been the simple, well-paced, enjoyable film we got, and would have instead gone down in history as an odd experimental sci-fi movie from a promising young director. Heck, an early title considered for it was Adventures of the Starkiller as taken from the Journal of the Whills, Saga I: The Star Wars. Thankfully, we got the changes, and thus we have Star Wars.

If one were to go back in time to ten years ago and say that there would be multiple live-action Star Wars shows running simultaneously after the release of a sequel trilogy and a couple of spin-off films, probably very few would have believed it. And yet here we are, with the first live-action Star Wars show The Mandalorian having graced the screens, and a bunch of other live-action Disney+ shows known to be on the way.

Darth Vader doesn’t have the same ring when he is just Vader. Darth Sidious doesn’t have the same ring when he is just Sidious. It’s the titles that help make their names stronger and carry more fear. However, the title Darth did not originally seem like a title in Star Wars lore.

One of the most popular non-film characters in all of Star Wars is the Chiss Imperial, Grand Admiral Thrawn. First introduced in Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire, Thrawn made a big impact with his military prowess and effective leadership. Once Lucasfilm made all of the Star Wars Expanded Universe material non-canon, fans hoped that Thrawn would come back into the spotlight once again in a canon property.

Director James Gunn is a big ol’ nerd.

I think about Ezra Bridger all the time. When Star Wars Rebels started, I worried that the character would take after the too immature live-action Anakin. Thankfully, I was wrong. By the end of the series run of Rebels, Ezra Bridger proved to be a fantastic character that everyone adored. The finale ensured that there was indeed more to come. Now that we fans have a live-action Ahsoka, we want and deserve a similar Ezra.
