    It helps that Favreau is heavily involved in this series, because it was his initial vision that brought this series to fruition, and his acting chops help him move the interviews along with a funny line or keen observation. The first episode is also helped by the fact that the season’s directors are such a dynamic bunch.

It has multiple episodes with a running time estimated equivalent to 70% of season 1 of the show. It is in the form of a round table where the involved staff talks about the topics. It is about the cast, actors, special effects, sets, anecdotes, lore, ideas and more. I really like the format but my point is that I do not care about everything. I am fascinated by lore and world-building, care a lot about about characters and actors, like anecdotes and practical effects. However I am less interested in sets, special effects and must admit that not all anecdotes or related stories are interesting for me. I would prefer a condensed version or the classic commentary version like on DVDs. I must also clarify here that it sounds much too negative. It is excellently made and answers many questions. Overall this was excellent and a (small) disappointment. Maybe it is better for you but I think this warning is fair.… Full Review »

This was interesting.

    Givien that this was a highly expensive and ambitious show, going for a movie-like quality, you learn about the tremendous amount of effort given to make this all come together, including one really innovative technique.

    Be prepared that there isn't as much behind-the-scenes footage in this as you'd think. A lot of this is the showrunners, producers, directors, writers, actors, etc. sitting at a table and talking about the show. I felt this would slow things down, but the roundtable discussion format runs pretty smoothly. Everyone involved shows passion for what they did. And don't get me wrong, there is some interesting behind-the-scenes footage. It's more prevalent in the later episodes when the focus is more on the look and sound of Star Wars.

    Showrunners Jon Favreau (director of such films as Elf, Jungle Book, and Iron Man) and Dave Filoni (known for his work on the Star Wars animated shows) sort of run the narration and discussion and provide an infectious love for the world of Star Wars. Expect to be surprised by a couple of big name directors on this.

    Overall, if you're not a big on behind-the-scenes stuff, this isn't going to change your mind. Still, I think fans of The Mandalorian or Star Wars in general may appreciate this.    … Full Review »
