Fans were super excited seeing Boba Fett return to the live-action Star Wars in The Mandalorian Chapter 14: The Tragedy. It was a well-done episode that delivered a lot of action and suspense. And it was only 32 minutes!
Director Robert Rodriguez revealed recently that the script was only nineteen pages:
“The script was much shorter than the episode. The script was, like, 19 pages so that suggests 19 minutes. I added a lot of action to this [episode]. I even asked [series creator] Jon [Favreau], I said, ‘Is it okay that my script is only 19 pages? Because I cut really fast and it’s probably going to end up being 16 minutes. Do we need to add more pages?’ and he goes, ‘No, that’s what you’re here for! You need to fill that out.’ I said, ‘Oh, okay, I’ll try and make that battle longer.’ So that’s where that extra battle came from.”
Rodriguez delved in deeper:
“I know my tendency is to cut things pretty tight. If I have a 100-page script, it’s a 90-minute movie. So I had a 19-page script [and] I thought, ‘Whoa! I’m gonna run out of things to do, so I added a lot of action.”
