Don't forget Dave Filoni!!!
It is no coincidence that the three greatest pieces of Star Wars Story telling (Clone Wars, Rebels, Mando) all came from those same minds.
This latest episode blew the scope of this series wide open. This is the Star Wars storytelling that the fans deserve. Favreau and Filoni KNOW and understand Star Wars and the lore.
The series borrows from samurai legends and is influenced by Kurosawa. One episode, “Sanctuary” is heavily influenced by “Seven Samurai.”
What started as an interesting episodic series following the adventures of Mando protecting “the Child” has expanded its boundaries in season 2 into an epic saga by introducing the best of characters and events from materials outside the theatrical releases. The show just gets better with every episode.
This series alone is worth the $6.99 per month subscription fee.
