That’s why, Watts And Ford They explain how to approach your series. And the answer will be very pleasant for those who hate the mentioned types of strategies.
“Do you have to be a fan? Star wars to enjoy the series? I would say no. Part of the story we’re telling is that this is a group of kids who don’t necessarily realize how big the universe is that they’re a part of. It was only when they got lost and tried to find their way home that they discovered the galaxy Star wars for the first time,” he says. Watts. “So you don’t have to do your homework if you don’t want to before watching.” Star Wars: The Lost Command“, he confirms categorically.

But it’s not easy. We’ve seen this in other episodes such as The Mandalorian And Ahsoka“, remember Ford.
“We felt that for our story of children lost in the galaxy, this was a great moment because there isn’t necessarily a big powerful force to save them, be it the Old Republic or even the Empire. They get lost and that’s why we meet pirates.” So it’s like a lawless time,” the creative continues. “It’s a time of chaos and lawlessness, a very dramatic time for a group of children who find themselves in a difficult situation,” agrees. Watts.
“And we also work very closely with Jon Favreau And Dave Filoni. “They’ve done a great job developing this time period and continue to do so,” he makes clear. Ford. And despite the fact that this is an independent story for Star Wars: The Lost Command They needed to take into account the current situation in the galaxy and not fall into canon contradictions. “It really made sense for us to fit in there,” he concludes. Watts.
