At Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim on Saturday, John Rosengrant of Legacy Effects debunked the report that the Grogu puppet chain cost $5 million to create and revealed how such an impressive sum was taken as a “fact.”
“It started with the biggest rumor ever, which is absolutely not true,” Rosengrant said. “I would have retired a long time ago if that were true, but to get them to stop abusing the child, John told them, ‘Stop. You can’t keep hitting it, it cost $5 million. “And then of course, one of those guys went to the press and the next thing you know, the kid cost $5 million. Believe me, it didn’t happen.”

He also thinks a lot about what he wants to do. He is always, always respectful star Wars What does it mean and not just do things lightly. So, he and Dave [Filoni] Discuss it fiercely. Both came to the conclusion that – why not? Everyone knows that Yoda is not just an individual being; It is kind of. That could develop into something interesting.”

I’ve always been drawn to it. You can look back and maybe think that was a predictable idea – but it wasn’t at first, he was just trying to create Character – The Mandalorian Takes Care of the Baby. That’s the basic concept. The baby was. What the baby looked like is what develops over time. The bold idea of perhaps a species Yoda immediately gives you context and potential background.
