'The Mandalorian' director Jon Favreau spoke about whether new 'Star
Wars' movie will feature Grogu aka Baby Yoda
LucasFilm president
Kathleen Kennedy announced that they have made three new Star Wars movies
including a movie directed by The Mandalorian director Dave Filoni.
Set
in a time between the prequel and sequel trilogies, just like The
Mandalorian, Filoni's movie will explore the "escalating war between the
Imperial remnant and the New Republic".
Filoni's film seeks to
bring together many characters and stories from the an assortment of shows –
but will they feature fan favourite Grogu aka Baby Yoda?
Speaking to Yahoo! Entertainment, Favreau and Filoni teased
whether or not Grogu would be making an appearance on the big screen.
"I
don't know what I can talk about yet," Favreau said. "But certainly
everything is being discussed."
"We don't know a lot, that's
right. Yes, it's by design, honestly – because it's something George Lucas
always chose not to reveal too much of and I think it's a part of what makes
the character of Yoda still so special and unique. So we have chosen to
honour that to this point."
When asked if he would like to
further investigate Grogu's parentage Filoni said: "No, I don't think so.
Not for me. Mando's his family."
