Disney Used 1 Star Wars Trick George Lucas Always Avoided
Disney’s Star Wars differs from the George Lucas era for many reasons, and one of them is the use of a filmmaking technique that neither the original trilogy nor the prequels ever used.

More recently, after Disney launched its own streaming platform, Disney+, Star Wars has been also diving into live-action TV series. The Mandalorian, Disney+’s biggest hit and flagship show, was the first one.
