“Star Wars: The Mandalorian” star Giancarlo Esposito recently hinted that “The Mandalorian” will explore more paths and plot lines as it gears up for a potential third and fourth season.
What’s happening:
Esposito said in an interview with People magazine that the show will add some depth in its forthcoming second season, which will allow the show to move into a wider world for the upcoming seasons.
- “We’re living in a universe that is huge and there’s so much to explore, so I think this show is going to lay the groundwork for the depth and breath that’s gonna come in Season Three and Season Four, where you’re really gonna start to get answers.”
Of course, Esposito is not Disney, so there’s no official word about the show snagging two or three more seasons yet.
‘The Mandalorian’ becomes ‘Game of Thrones’:
“The Mandalorian” showrunner Jon Favreau said he has added some new ideas to the show’s second season that will make the Disney Plus hit more like “Game of Thrones,” with multiple storylines at once, which I wrote about for Deseret.com.
Favreau told Entertainment Weekly the new season will introduce viewers to a larger world.
- “The new season is about introducing a larger story in the world. The stories become less isolated, yet each episode has its own flavor, and hopefully we’re bringing a lot more scope to the show.”
- “As we introduce other characters, there are opportunities to follow different storylines. The world was really captivated by ‘Game of Thrones’ and how that evolved as the characters followed different storylines — that’s very appealing to me as an audience member.”
