Yoda And The Mandalorian Rumors
MSW have posted some revealing news surrounding The Mandalorian that involves Yoda's species. Apparently George Lucas may have been involved as descriptions surface that several characters that resemble Yoda's species will be in The Mandalorian. Here's what MSW knows.
While grabbing coffee down in the area of the set recently, I ran into some people associated with the production from last year and this year. They seemed as curious about me as I was about them. That said, one of them showed me some photos from their phone of the outrageous “kit bashed” elements we’ll see in the series. Remember that Artoo unit with legs story I wrote about last year? I brought up the Kenner inspiration and they said “yeah, you have no idea” and then what they showed me was pretty amazing.
I then saw five or six unfinished Yoda species puppets in various states of completeness. You could see the eyes and that they were Yoda-like for sure. While I was checking it out, one of then told me George Lucas contributed story elements to the episode (I believe they said it was the sixth episode of the first season but I could be wrong). The episode will have a cast of characters that are the same species as Yoda. They seemed to also infer that the species will finally be named in the episode.
