Star Wars: Bryce Dallas Howard Talks About Working On The Mandalorian


We're still in the dark when it comes to details about the upcoming Star Wars series The Mandalorian so the idea of Bryce Dallas Howard talking about the episode she will direct on the show is certainly exciting. Interestingly, the Jurassic World star revealed that showrunner Jon Favreau pushed her to do her best.

Howard recently spoke to Collider while promoting her new film Rocketman. She quickly revealed that Favreau and executive producer Dave Filoni gave her all the support she needed while directing her episode of The Mandalorian.

"The God's honest truth is that I had incredible support from Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau," Howard said. "And the process — the prep process, and the shooting, and post, and all of that — it was so incredibly collaborative and fun and grounded, and so it was just so cool."

So how exactly did Favreau make sure Howard would come up with her best work? She shared how the Iron Man director made sure all options were tried out.

"Jon Favreau, of course, is known for pushing emerging technology forward, and what he did with Jungle Book, what he's doing now with Lion King, I mean, this is really extraordinary," Howard said. "Sort of what is possible because of these projects ... I mean, there were so many times when I'd be like, ‘Oh, it's okay Jon, we can just do it that way.' He's like, ‘I just want to see if it's possible. We just need to see if it's possible.' And I'm like okay, and then it's tested, and way more times you find out, ‘Oh wow, it is possible, and it's better!' So that was really exciting."

Unfortunately, Howard didn't share any details about her Mandalorian episode, saying that she is "totally on lockdown." Nevertheless, we are hoping to learn more about the series really soon.

The Mandalorian is expected to premiere as soon as Disney+ is launched this November.
