On today’s episode of Crew Call we talk with _The Mandalorian _EP and director of season 3 episodes one, seven and eight, Rick Famuyiwa. Like the Westerns that _Star Wars _itself is based
on, season 3 continued to dwell in that genre as it focused on Bounty Hunter Din Djarin’s (Pedro Pascal) unification with the Mandalorians. Of note here is the redemption of the tribe’s
former leader Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff). Famuyiwa says we see “what she lost and what she’s gained, in terms of the trust from her people and her own leadership.” Famuyiwa explains that just
as “Westerns started to grow and go beyond their rugged individualism to how we make a society work” so does _The Mandalorian _in season 3. The Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner of _Dope
_talks about the VFX tricks of making _The Mandalorian _sets look real, as well as the episode he’s submitting this Emmy season. WATCH ON DEADLINE Famuyiwa is also a director on the upcoming
_Star Wars _series_ Ahsoka _starring Rosario Dawson which premieres August this year. You can listen to our conversation below:
