To help celebrate Star Wars Day, Disney+ is set to receive an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look in a new eight-part documentary series exclusive to the streaming platform.
The first of Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian’s eight episodes will premiere on Disney+ on May 4 — or May the Fourth, to Star Wars fans — with new episodes every Friday.
That the eight episodes of this docuseries perfectly corresponds to the episode count of season one of The Mandalorian might lead you to believe that each episode of Gallery would focus on a different “chapter” of the show. Alas, the announcement says each “explores a different facet” of the series’ creation through never-before-seen footage and interviews hosted by Jon Favreau.
Some such facets include “the filmmaking process, the legacy of George Lucas’ Star Wars, how the cast brought the characters to life, the series’ groundbreaking technology, the artistry behind the show’s practical models, effects, and creatures, plus the creative influences, the iconic score, and connections to Star Wars characters and props from across the galaxy.”
