What's Grogu's species called again? Maybe he'll just say that, like Pikachu.

IMO, the worst episodes of any Star Wars animated show are the ones where they treat the Force like the magic in Harry Potter/D&D and plot accordingly.

Yeah, you don't give a spear to a character portrayed by an actor who trained for months to fight with a spear on another famous fantasy show and then not have him fight with it. ...

Huh? What is this even talking about?? About the only thing Pedro Pascal has done in the last decade was Narcos.

So this thread moves really fast but... "Grogu," really? Really?? Did they ask George Lucas to name him, or something? What a terrible, terrible choice. I'm just going to ignore it and keep referring to him as Baby Yoda.

Still, loving this entire season so far, feels like they've been firing on all cylinders since episode 1. Love the plot, love all the action setpieces. It's like Star Wars done properly.

Game of Thrones. They're talking about Game of Thrones. I never watched it, but people on social media have been posting all kinds of pictures of Pedro Pascal in Game of Thrones with a spear, where apparently some serious poo poo went down.

Was about to link this lol. Just finished reading it a moment ago; lots of nice on-set/production reveals surrounding the development of bringing Ahsoka into live-action. It really gives a good glimpse into both Dawson's and Filoni's headspace about that process. Dawson also talks about the lawsuit against her as well. A good read imo.

George Lucas decreed that "Yoda's species" doesn't have a name so we get dancing around the subject.

Relevant design implementation stuff from the Vanity Fair interviews:

VF: Can you describe the process of adapting Ahsoka from drawings and animation to real life? What has to change?

Filoni: It was a pretty amazing thing as we designed the costume and worked out all the details of that. Everything got considered to an unbelievable degree—the headtails, the horns, I can’t even tell you. It’s hard. It’s so rare a person in my position from animation gets to craft and guide the character’s jump to live-action.

Many tests were done, screen tests, because within the Volume [The Mandalorian set that creates backgrounds on a giant digital screen] it will tend to lean magenta. You have to worry about how a character like Ahsoka would look because the temperature that we have her orange could be dramatically different in the Volume than in stage shots. So there were tiny little considerations that had to be made and adjusted.

VF: How do you make sure that the makeup and headpiece don’t get in the way of the performance?

Filoni: Yes, it’s tricky. That was one of the big considerations. Performance-wise I don’t want her to be lost in all of this headgear and makeup, but she definitely is not. I kept things subtle in some ways with the markings. I mean, the funny thing is that the white markings over the brow are always done in animation to give an eyebrow performance. I didn’t want a brightly saturated character. Again, in animation it works, but in live-action I think it works another way, and so you just have to play with the values and see.

VF: There’s a lot of lightsaber fighting in this episode too. Was that a consideration with the headtail prosthetics?

Dawson: Everything was pretty firmly on. Everything was built specifically to my skull and body, and the headband that she has on with the tails actually clips in the back and holds it in place. We were doing stunts in it and everything, and it wasn’t going anywhere.

VF: What else had to happen as part of the transformation into Ahsoka?

Filoni: I said, “Well, Ahsoka’s eyes are blue and yours are not, but I don’t want you to worry about it. If you don’t want to go for that, we can just say that in this version they’re not.” And Rosario insisted. She’s like, “No, no, no. Let me try it.”

Dawson: I remember when I put the contacts on, that was when it really solidified—the headpiece, the tails, the shape, the coloring, everything. Doing the face marking, doing my skin, wearing the costume, all of that was absolutely incredible. But I still kind of felt like I was in cosplay. The second the contacts went in, it was Ahsoka. I felt like I disappeared.

quote:

VF: Like Rey in The Force Awakens, the Mandalorian doesn’t really know the full Star Wars story. He has no idea who Yoda is. Is that why you turned to Ahsoka for this, so she can say, “Oh, yeah. I know what this thing is.…It’s a baby Yaddle!”

Filoni: No, that would have been the best moment ever. That’s the way I should have gone with it. [Laughs.]

God dammit!
