Report: No Drama In Delay For The Mandalorian Filming
I’ve been writing about Star Wars “in anger” for some time and nothing makes me happier than a boring reason for something that has generated controversy; or, moreover, a bold prediction that generated clicks, which turns out to be much ado about nothing.
For example: I am still waiting for Kathleen Kennedy to be replaced or resign.
In fact, the Lucasfilm President looked pretty confident on Disney Investor Day 2020. No?
Scheduling, COVID-19 Protocols Delay The Mandalorian
Meanwhile, we read that any worry about the schedule or status of The Mandalorian was, again, unnecessary.
“Occam’s Razor,” the age-old philosophical principle, posits the simplest explanation is usually the right one.
To that end, LRMonline.com’s Shockey posted:
As much as some fans want to believe that there is some sort of civil war going on at Lucasfilm leading to delays in production, it is simply not the case. The boring truth for production of The Mandalorian being slated for later this year instead of now is simply due to scheduling and Covid-19 protocols.
While Lucasfilm has multiple studios across the world, Covid-19 protocols have made scheduling the biggest complication. Trying to navigate multiple shows with a central story is difficult enough but to get everyone together during a pandemic safely is almost impossible. The actor’s schedule that has been the toughest to work out is Temuera Morrison’s since he will be a part of three upcoming Star Wars series on Disney+. Temuera has come back to star as Boba Fett which will see his own series this December and will be back for some role in the third season of The Mandalorian.
Temuera Is Busy Guy
Moreover, Shockey posted:
On top of filming for both of those series Temuera will be reprising his role as Commander Cody in the upcoming Kenobi series. This news was first reported by Corey and Noah at Kessel Run Transmission when they reported that Kenobi will be hunted down by Vader, Commander Cody, along with the 512th.
So, the bottom line? Sit back and enjoy re-runs of The Mandalorian Seasons 1 and 2. Season 3 will be along presently (along with its cousins).
