What Jon Favreau meant is that he needs “The Mandalorian” to have an particular give attention to the connection between Din and Grogu. As a result of “The E-book of Boba Fett” was all the time meant to cross-over with “The Mandalorian,” it made sense to the showrunner to reckon with the separation of those characters earlier than moving into season 3. Favreau defined to Empire:

“You noticed what Mando was like with out Child Yoda and we noticed what Grogu was like with out the Mandalorian and neither of them was doing too good. So them coming again collectively was a very good plot level that enables us to leap again into season 3 whereas sustaining the central relationship.”

To Favreau, there isn’t any present with out Din and Grogu. The thought of beginning season 3 with Din shifting on with out his little one was antithetical to the present he wished to create. Within the interview, Favreau emphasised that in “Boba Fett,” it was vital that we watch Grogu make an lively selection to decide on household over future or destiny.

“I feel you needed to service each issues,” Favreau added. “Simply because this child has the potential and had coaching, does he belong away from the Mandalorian?” He continued:

“I noticed it extra like ‘Paper Moon,’ the place the entire thing is about delivering the child to the blood relative, solely to appreciate that, whether or not genetically via her father or simply via bonding, Tatum O’Neal has to finish up with Ryan O’Neal. That ending feels actually good to me. And this little child [Grogu] is given a choice to decide on. And the child chooses the emotional relationship and needs to be with the Mandalorian, and passing up Yoda’s lightsaber. A part of you needs to see him develop in that approach, and half the opposite.”
