Op 17 november is het 41 jaar geleden dat de befaamde Star Wars Holiday Special te zien was.
Tegenover Variety heeft Mandalorian showrunner Jon Favreau laten weten wel een nieuwe versie te willen maken:
“Oh I would definitely be interested in doing a holiday special,” Favreau told Variety at “The Mandalorian” fan event. “And I’m not going to say who I would be interested in. But one of the people is the member of the cast in an upcoming episode of the show. So we’ll leave it at that for now.”
When pressed to see if he was serious, the director doubled down. “I’ve been thinking about it. It’s ready, the ideas are ready. I think it could be really fun. Not as part of this, but there’s an excitement around it because it was so fun and weird, and off and not connected to what ‘Star Wars’ was in the theater. ‘The Mandalorian’ cartoon, the Boba Fett cartoon, from the holiday special was definitely a point of inspiration for what we did in the show.”
Leuke trivia: In aflevering 1 van The Mandalorian wordt door de gekieuwde alien Mythrol al een verwijzing gemaakt naar Life Day.
