Dave Filoni Thought The Mandalorian's Baby Yoda a Terrible Idea; Why?
Today no one can imagine The Mandalorian without the adorable Grogu. However, it turns out that the director and writer of the show, Dave Filoni, had a lot of doubts about including the green creature.
In 2019 Disney+ saw the debut of The Mandalorian. TheStar Wars show met with a very positive reception from fans at the time, who praised it for the story and the overall quality. Another small (literally) element contributed to the popularity of the title - Baby Yoda.
This adorable green critter stole the hearts of fans from his first appearance on the screen. All the more surprising is the fact that not everyone advocated the introduction of little Grogu - for that is the name of Din Djarin's companion - to the screen. The biggest doubts about this decision came from Dave Filoni himself, that is, the writer and director of The Mandalorian.
In a recent episode of Disney Galler, dedicated to the work on the show's third season, the creator revealed that the desire to portray a character confusingly similar to the legendary Yoda aroused his worst fears. This is because Filoni was aware that the father of Star Wars, George Lucas, adored the character and because of that, they have a huge responsibility.
"You know, in the first season Jon wanted to do Baby Yoda. I said: 'What, why? Why would we do that? It's a terrible idea.' But you put that initial fear aside and said, 'Okay, let's consider it.' So I tell him, 'Jon, if you're going to do it, I'll be there with you. Because I know Yoda is one of George's favorite characters, and we can't mess this up,' Filoni explained (via MovieWeb).
The director's confidence in Jon Favreau has paid off, as little Grogu has become the central figure of the entire show. Given the recent statements by the showrunner, we can be sure that in future episodes of The Mandalorian we will further explore the story of the Force-sensitive character.
