According to Variety, an eight part Mandalorian behind the scenes documentary series will begin streaming on May the 4th. They write:
On May 4, known of course as Star Wars Day, [Disney Plus] will premiere an eight-part docuseries on the making of the popular series which spawned Baby Yoda and has been a driving force behind the platform’s early success.
Variety continues:
Titled “Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian,” the docuseries will see creator Jon Favreau and the cast and crew share an in-depth look at the making of “The Mandalorian.” Each episode will explore a different facet of the first live-action “Star Wars” show through interviews, new footage, and roundtable conversations hosted by Favreau. Some of the topics covered will include how the cast brought the characters to life, the series’ use of technology, and the artistry behind the show’s practical models, effects, and creatures.
This is welcome news indeed. I love the Original Trilogy behind the scenes documentary, Empire of Dreams, almost as much as the movies. Coincidentally, Empire of Dreams is currently streaming on Disney Plus.
