A special behind-the-scenes episode of “The Mandalorian,” the premiere of Marvel’s “What if?” series and “Cruella” comes off Disney Premiere Access to become available to all subscribers is coming this August to Disney+.
In last year’s Season 2 finale of “Star Wars: The Mandalorian,” the appearance of a young Luke Skywalker was one of the biggest reveals and best-kept secrets of the acclaimed show thus far. Reaction to the episode was emotionally charged for man. The story of the cutting-edge technology used to bring Luke back is the subject of a special extra episode of “Disney Gallery: Star Wars: The Mandalorian,” debuting Aug. 25.
The episode delves into the collaborative process, including working with Mark Hamill, and explores the immense pressure and responsibility the filmmakers had in bringing back one of the most important characters in film history.
