It seems that Jon Favreau’s upcoming Star Wars show, The Mandalorian, has a bit more in common with the original film then you might think but in a different way then you would ever expect.
While speaking to James Cameron for Directors Guild of America, Jon Favreau revealed that The Mandalorian has a relatively lower budget and the upcoming series reflected that. He also reminded people that the original film was also a relatively low budgeted affair but the people behind it were still able to do something special:
Since I wrote most of [The Mandalorian], I wrote it to fit within our volume, and in trying to keep the scale of it like the first Star Wars film, which was a relatively low-budget affair, even though the effects were spectacular.
From the sound of things, The Mandalorian may have less spectacle in it then other Star Wars installments.
