Deborah Chow, who directed two episodes of Star Wars: The MandalorianI directed the new series and spoke to him recently Jake takes About the return of another famous name in Star Wars: composer John Williams.
“We were incredibly lucky and, frankly, very lucky,” Zhao explained. “It kind of worked because he had this very narrow window where he had so little time. I think the biggest thing, and the biggest reason, was – given all the trios – Obi-Wan was one of the few characters he never wrote a topic for. So He just came to write the theme, and we were very lucky that it worked. For me, Star Wars and John Williams, it wouldn’t be the same without him. It’s inextricably linked, and also emotionally, it’s Star Wars with John Williams, so we were very grateful. We heard it recorded live with an orchestra, and I thought it was so emotional for everyone. It felt so classic right away, it felt like ‘this has always been there.’ So it was magical to actually hear that.” You can watch the interview below:

“I think because it was a TV show, the beauty of it because it’s a series is that we have more time to tell the story,” McGregor said recently at a press conference. “But [Deborah Chow] She drew them all and it’s her unique vision throughout, I just felt like we were only making one movie. And the episodic nature of our series, it really falls smartly into the story, but it’s a moving story. I suspect The Mandalorian Look more casual if you want to because it fits this storytelling. It does, of course, have a driving storyline during each season, but our movie is like a movie that’s broken down into those episodes. That’s how I feel about it.”
