The most shocking news of all is that the series may not have made it into production! According to the Hollywood Reporter, the show was put on hold in 2020 because it was said that Lucasfilm was unhappy with the script. The story describes that there was more to it though, as when Chow showed the scripts to Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau, there were concerns that there were too many similarities between The Mandalorian and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The end result was that a new writer, Joby Harold, was onboarded.
