To talk about The Mandalorian we brought on Brandon from Heroes and Chris Ing. We have a fair bit of fun looking at the surface of the show, some of the themes and some of the very generic ways that the galaxy is working in a post Endor time.

I have to take issue with the idea that George Lucas retroactively claimed that he made Star Wars for kids after it had been embraced by younger audiences. As far back as 1979, he was talking about how he “researched kids’ movies and how myths work; and I looked very carefully at the elements of films within that fairy-tale genre which made them successful.” Aside from that, I don’t think you make such a big deal about licensing toys if you’re not intending for the movie to appeal to children.
