Dave Filoni Reveals Easter Egg Hidden in All of His Mandalorian Episodes
Dave Filoni reveals the secret Easter eggs he has snuck into every episode of The Mandalorian that he directed. The Mandalorian was the first live-action Star Wars series to launch on the streaming service Disney+ before they expanded the universe with The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The show stars Pedro Pascal as the bounty hunter Din Djarin, who forms a bond with a young alien named Grogu. The show was created by Jon Favreau, who is a co-executive producer with Filoni. Filoni has also directed three episodes of the series, including the premiere, which introduces Mando to Grogu, commonly referred to as Baby Yoda.
Filoni has been involved in the Star Wars universe for quite some time, having been a writer and supervising director on the 2008 animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. That series, which was also adapted into a feature film, is the place where the character Ahsoka Tano (who is also getting her own live-action series starring Rosario Dawson) was originally introduced. Since then, he has created the series Star Wars Rebels, Star Wars Resistance, and Star Wars: The Bad Batch, as well as executive producing the web series Star Wars Forces of Destiny. He now holds a position as Lucasfilm's Executive Creative Director.
