He and Filoni both give a special shoutout toThe Mandaloriancrew before Favreau talks about the “scale and scope of the big screen.” He then goes on to say thattheir goal with this movie is to “have something that rewards people who have been with [The Mandalorian] since the beginning, and with Star Wars since the beginning.”
Favreau does, of course, emphasize their other goal with the movie, in that they hope to reach brand-new audiences by bringing two already well-known characters, Din Djarin and Grogu, to the big screen. Grogu is a major factor in this for Favreau, as “all the kids know who that is.” Now, according to him, this gives these younger viewers the chance to see who Grogu really is, while Grogu and Din’s story overall continues to reward those who have long since been following the duo’sStar Warsjourney.
