So, I guess they’re not filming a new season of THE MANDALORIAN any time soon.

I almost wrote ‘at all,’ but maybe another six months or a year will be enough time for the heat to die down. GeekTyrant aside, Dave Filoni did not ‘tease’ information on THE MANDALORIAN so much as he evaded giving out any. The Good Morning America segment was remarkably free of information on the subject (ScreenRant provided the relevant transcript):

Oh, that’s a tricky one, you know I don’t like to go into those answers without Jon here, my partner Jon Favreau. It’s exciting, we’re both working on that, we’re working on Boba Fett right now, so there’s a lot of new adventures coming up. I have to be careful, I can’t really say anything specific, but I think the Force will be strong with it. Let’s just say that.

Back in the Before Times I called this ‘Dorwinization:’ which is the ability to carefully and easily speak for some time and not say “one damned thing.” Working is such a broad term, really. When it refers to the Boba Fett show, it means that the show’s about to leave production. When it refers to the Mandalorian third season, it means that production has yet to begin.

But what do I know? They’ll probably start filming next week, just to prove me wrong.
