Before The Mandalorian and Grogu was announced, the expectation was that the story of Din Djarin and his tiny green charge Baby Yoda would continue in The Mandalorian season 4.
Of course, that ultimately didn't end up being the case, as, after the SAG-AFTRA actors' strike and the WGA writers' strike, the plan was retooled to bring the duo to the big screen rather than continue on Disney Plus. But, Favreau had already written all the scripts – and, as it turns out, this story would have heavily linked to Ahsoka season 2.
"This is a completely different medium," he continued, "so I had to start from scratch, essentially. There were certain things I wanted to pursue, like the idea of Grogu being the Mandalorian's apprentice. As long as you understand the archetypes of this hardened warrior with their vulnerable young apprentice, you’ll know these characters well, even if you've never seen the show. But there's still a lot of Star Wars in there. You're going to see where things are going [in the wider universe], but that doesn't diminish from the experience of watching it as a standalone film."
