Werner Herzog Praises Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian

Werner Herzog did an interview with AP Entertainment talking about Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian saying it is

“a phenomenal achievement”

He talks more about his experiences this is what Werner Herzog had to say.

“The Mandalorian, I was invited by Jon Favreau — who started this whole series — to act,” Herzog told AP Entertainment. “I looked at the screenplays and I had the feeling, although I know very little about Star Wars, I had the feeling yes, I could do it. It’s a character in whom you cannot trust. And I said yes, I can do that.”

“Green screen, green screen everywhere, in the camera, motion control moving there. All of a sudden you have a phenomenal step forward,” Herzog said.

“As an actor, you see the entire planet on which you are [standing]. You see the landscape, you see the formation. The camera could even be handheld and move in-between us, sees the same landscape, it’s not green screen and artificiality. It brings movie-making back where it should be. It’s phenomenal, [a] phenomenal achievement. I have to confess I never saw a single one. I’ve seen some trailers, I’ve seen some excerpts here and there,” he said. “And I know about the whole franchise and about the toys for the kids, and so… it’s all a new mythology of a time of some sort of heroics, and it has created new mythologies, and you better take them seriously. Yes, they’re out there, and don’t ignore them.”

What I interested me the most about this inteview is that Werner Herzog has never seen Star Wars films. This honestly gives me even more faith in The Mandalorian because it feels more authentic to me. For a person that has never seen any of the films but is as excited as the biggest Star Wars fan and a film fan just gives me hope for The Mandalorian, Star Wars as a franchise and even Disney+.
