The Mandalorian discussion thread
While I'm sure he learned some good directing techniques from him, I hope Filoni jettisons any screenwriting lessons he got from Rian Johnson. He has a good eye as a director, but he's a shameless thief and a hack as a screenwriter. Also, "The Last Jedi" was an unforgiveable disaster that ruined what might have been a good trilogy had he not decided to be "a clever writer" and derail the whole plot.
Cool news, though! Should be a fun film.
You all know where I'm hoping all of this leads, of course...
