The Mandalorian, whose name is Din Djarin,
is your iconically cool, mysterious,
lone, you know, loner, gunslinger.
The Mandalorian, it's interesting.
I mean, we all know the helmet,
but the helmet is Boba Fett.
And that was a big challenge in the beginning of this.
Our character's much more bulked up than Boba ever was.
His armor is actually quite different.
There are similarities, which are almost unavoidable.
But we wanted to tell a story with somebody
where we had kind of more of a blank page to write it.
I remember getting a call from my agent
saying that Jon Favreau wants to meet you
regarding a Star Wars project.
And so I immediately said, you know, when and where.
Go and I meet Jon at his office,
and he invites me into this room
that is basically, you know, corner to corner,
covered in story illustrations
of this project that he's working on.
And there are all these incredible images
of a Mandalorian character.
I love the opportunity to make him as human
and as accessible as possible,
which is strange to say because it's impossible to get to him
because he's covered in armor from head to toe.
And yet the idea is that, you know, he's relatable.
