Jon Favreau, Rosario Dawson & Dave Filoni on Ahsoka Season 2 & Mandalorian & Grogu's Popcorn Bucket

With Ahsoka Season 2 officially in production, series star Rosario Dawson is embracing a unique approach to discovering the story — by deliberately not reading the scripts ahead of the cast table reads. During a sit-down with Collider's Maggie Lovitt at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, Dawson explained why she prefers to be surprised and how that first read-through continues to be one of her favorite experiences on the show. It's a bold approach, but Dawson likes the idea of finding things out with a group of colleagues as part of a communal experience, something she believes enhances her excitement. “Oh my goodness. I don't know if I told you, but I haven't been reading them in advance of the team reads,” Dawson said, to which Ahsoka executive producer and The Mandalorian & Grogu director Jon Favreau nodded: “I know that.” Dawson elaborated on why that experience matters to her, describing the process as nothing short of a revelation for her: “There's something about what we did on the first season, getting into it and reading the scripts and just being so excited about who was even going to be in it. It was such a revelation, everything about it. We've gotten such a foundation, now, down that I just miss the cast so much, and like being able to see everyone on that Zoom link and everyone's faces and performing.” In addition, Favreau mentioned that the potential for toys and collectibles factors into character designs, but that they haven’t reached a verdict on the popcorn bucket. “That's a great question that has not been reached yet. Subject has not been broached yet I mean, Star Wars, as you could see from walking the floor, as much as it's, we grew up at a time when you got to see it in the movie theater, and when it was out of the movie theater, all you had was the album and the toys. And toys were a big part of it. And when we plan new designs, we think about what's it going to be like as a collectible or as a toy. Yeah. And also, we think about what was a collectible or a toy that was never really in the movies. And we get a lot of inspiration from that. Now the popcorn bucket has become a thing. So I don't know. “ Whether Favreau is playing coy or the team hasn’t begun that part of the marketing process remains to be seen, but with Grogu and other critters likely to have a role in the film, merchandise will certainly be bountiful. Favreau also shared that he thinks things like popcorn buckets and merchandise are “part of what brings people to theaters, which is important.” While there are plenty of options for popcorn buckets, such as a Mandalorian Helmet, a Darksaber handle, or even a pilot’s helmet, Filoni weighed in on a design, saying that “It’s got to be Grogu, right? Sitting there with popcorn in front of him, and the bucket’s the pram.” Grogu is the most recognizable figure from the movie, so it stands to reason that he’ll be the subject of the popcorn bucket. Favreau even joked that “Grogu is eating popcorn in the movie,” and although Filoni tried to silence him with a “Spoilers Jon, spoilers,” Favreau jokingly pushed back by confirming there’s a shot of him eating popcorn in the trailer. The two also went back and forth about whether they think they'd get any input on the design, and even tried to recall what started the popcorn bucket craze, which was Dune: Part Two’s infamous sand worm bucket. #JonFavreau #RosarioDawson #AhsokaSeason2 For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL   / collider     / collider     / collider
