The mandalorian will be close to the original trilogy

Star Wars: The Mandalorian is the first Star Wars TV series live, leaving many fans wondering what to expect from this adventure. According to Taika Waititi, who directed one of the episodes, the main goal of the series was to respect the spirit of the original trilogy.

"Star Wars is very different from the Marvel style", explains the Thor: Ragnarok Director shared with the press after a TCA event, by SlashFilm. "They know that the tone of the first films should really be respected. That's what fans like and you can not really oppose it, it's a nicer way to say, "I can not do too many jokes." There is a little, certainly, my tone is there, the dialogue and things like that. "

Before Waititi became the director of Marvel Cinematic Universe, he had presented films like What we do in the shade and Hunting Wilderpeople, two of the most acclaimed comedies during their release years. It's the comic tone he brought to Ragnarok This made the film a huge success, showing a new perspective on the character that had largely disappeared.

Of course, it's easy to see why fans would think his Star Wars content would be so humorous, even if it looks like he has narrowed that element of his cinematic style to be more consistent with humor or lack of humor. from the original trilogy of films.

In the new series, after the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior appears in the Star Wars universe. The mandalorian is located after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the difficulties of a sniper in the far reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic.

Boba Fett is arguably the best known Mandalorian and, although we did not expect him to appear in the series given his disappearance in Star Wars: The Return of the JediWaititi promised that the new series would honor the elements that captivated the audience the most when it came to bounty hunters launching weapons.

"For most kids growing up with these movies, [Boba Fett] one of the most favorite characters, although he is hardly in the movies, "said Waititi. "Just like the bounty hunters, the helmets are so cool. To see characters like that and to film with them is pretty cool. "

The series was developed by Iron Man and The jungle Book Director Jon Favreau and Waititi praise the filmmaker's work on this series.

"Favreau is a genius, so smart and so good at what he does and in creating these worlds," said the director. "The scripts are really great. It was really fun to do something in the Star wars universe. It was the dream of every child to see a stormtrooper. When you do these scenes with 50 or 60 people, it's really amazing. I liked it. "

Star Wars: The Mandalorian will debut on the new Disney streaming platform, Disney +, but by the end of the year.
