Bryce Dallas Howard Shares Emotional Jon Favreau Star Wars Story
Jon Favreau is just as excited as fans for Bryce Dallas Howard's Star Wars future as the actress/director shares an emotional story about her fellow filmmaker. After previously providing his voice to both Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Solo: A Star Wars Story, Favreau rose to stardom within the franchise for creating and primarily writing Disney+'s first series The Mandalorian. The show, set between the events of the original and sequel Star Wars trilogies, centers on Pedro Pascal's titular character as he works to protect Grogu, an infantile member of Yoda's species, from the Galactic Empire.

As she gears up to return for The Mandalorian season 3, audience's reactions aren't lost on those in the franchise.
