This video is a perfect Christmas gift.
One of the best Christmas gifts we received was not found under our trees this year, but in our Twitter feeds. On Friday, The Mandalorian Season 2 director Robert Rodriguez shared a video of the set of the episode he directed, “The Tragedy”. The set video featured The Mandalorian Baby Yoda (real name: Grogu) and arrived the same day Disney Gallery: A Mandalorian, one hour long special making-of, premiered at Disney +.
Rodriguez shared his video set with Baby Yoday in Twitter on Friday. The director of “The Tragedy” is seen in the video jam playing on a guitar while Baby Yoda’s doll dances with him. In the background, an actor playing one of Moff Gideon’s Darktroopers is seen without his helmet while taking a break. Rodriguez captioned the video with a cheerful message, writing to his followers: “Here is a Christmas gift for all those who asked me what it is like to hang out with Baby Yoda on the set of #TheMandalorian #TheTragedy. Check out #DisneyGallery for more information. scenes! ”
The happy, carefree moment seems to echo Rodriguez’s enthusiasm for directing “The Tragedy”, which he shared with Collider in a recent interview during the promotion of his Netflix movie We can be heroes. The director, who will soon serve as executive producer of The Mandalorian by-product Boba Fett’s Book, also talked about the joys of resurrecting the legendary bounty hunter for his special episode.
As he shared with Collider, in part, “To go and play in Star Wars with all the toys and being able to play with Boba Fett as one of his main [characters] – I just thought, ‘I have to go there and just have it … I don’t know if it will appear in more episodes or what, so I just have to make it super badass right now [and] be that character that I imagined he was when I heard about him when I was 12. That was my mission, just to satisfy that 12 year old fascination with the character. ”
The Mandalorian Seasons 1 and 2, as well as Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian are now available for streaming on Disney +. See Robert Rodriguez’s jam session with Baby Yoda below. For more, find out when The Mandalorian happens and learn more about Boba Fett’s Book.
