On August 25th, a behind-the-scenes special about the development of the episode will premiere on Disney+, and it will “address a lot of your questions,” according to Hamill. With Disney now having its own streaming platform, the opportunity to create and release countless featurettes and even entire series on the making of some of their most popular films and television shows has opened up a whole new world of supplementary footage previously only available on a DVD bonus disc.
The cast was ecstatic about Hamill’s attendance on the show, and he wasn’t the only one. Ming-Na Wen, who plays Fennec Shand in the show, described the occasion as “beyond belief” to be a part of.
The Mandalorian’s first two seasons, as well as the whole Star Wars saga, are available to view on Disney+. Season 3 of The Mandalorian is still in production, but no release date has been set. The first was published on THR.
