Talking Bay 94

Talking Bay 94 The only Star Wars podcast devoted to 1:1 cast and crew interviews.

05/21/2026

Alongside a roundtable of press, I was able to talk with Jon Favreau, director of THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU, as well as Dave Filoni , the president of Lucasfilm (and second unit director for the puppets in the film).

For those that know me, my question is rather obvious - but I was blown away by the care of their response. It was nearly 8 minutes long!

They shouted out a couple former guests of the show, including Misty Rosas (Episodes 84 and 164) and Brendan Wayne (Episode 148) and even the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art!

A perfect answer. I am so grateful for the opportunity - thank you to Star Wars for setting it up!

THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU is out on May 22! It rocks.

It was great to be able to chat with two of my behind-the-scenes heroes on THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU red carpet: and .

Both of them, through their work and curiosity, inspired me SO much when I was growing up - whether on DVD special features or MYTHBUSTERS. Ahmed gave me a high five and said “And look where we are now!” and I almost cried.

🤠 Brendan Wayne 🤝 Brandon Wain!erdi 🤠

One of the incredible highlights of a day filled with highlights: getting to meet the Mandalorian, (John Wayne’s grandson and guest on TB94 Episode 148).

Seeing him and Lateef as the third and fourth billed in THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU made my heart soar. Thanks especially to the talented for making the intro. This is the way, baby!!

49 years ago this month, my favorite movie premiered at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. Yesterday, I got to watch the premiere of its new installment in that same theatre.

Thanks so much to Lucasfilm and Star Wars for the invite, and thanks to Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound for making actual magic.

I have spoken.

To make the whole experience even better, Disney / Lucasfilm mailed over a box of swag. I’m a little under the weather, so my wife (the eponymous Talking Bae 94) did the unboxing. Thank you!

Ok here’s some MORE STUFF from THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU. My immediate / slightly unhinged thoughts:

- I want a Mando on STAP deluxe Black Series set
- The different sabacc cards are all pictures of crew members
- Baby Hutt maquette when
- The stop-motion puppets are insane
- Anamanaman: he rolls now
- Got emotional seeing the Greef Karga bust
