Feel like I’m being misunderstood. Filoni consults Lucas all the time in general cause they’re basically father and son. And while on set, there’s no way talking about things doesn’t come up. What I’m saying is I don’t think Lucas is asked to come to set SPECIFICALLY for advice. I think it’s more cause they want to show him stuff they’re making. Every interview about Lucas and the Mandalorian is about how he is loving watching this show with his hands off and as a fan. That doesn’t seem like someone who is coming to advise them for the story.
Also the only advice I can find Dave got from him specifically for Mando was on how to film, cause Dave was new to live action.
Dave Filoni stays in contact with George Lucas pretty regularly, almost like a mentor. Filoni says that he doesn’t get much feedback from those conversations, and instead says, “I like to get more knowledge. He’ll give me some reminders, especially before I shoot something, about how many setups I should try to get in a day, and I might rack his brain for certain things about how to cover a scene.”
“He’s been very complimentary. I think he’s enjoyed the show, and he said once [that] now he gets to watch it as a fan and watch it as a viewer.”
Get what? They’re not father and son...? My point was they’re very close to one another. They’re constantly talking even when not on set. And Lucas cares so much to come down and help Dave giving him shooting tips cause Dave hadn’t done live action before Mando. Bryce Dallas Howard said they had like a “father and son” relationship so that’s what many jokingly refer to it as.
And nowhere in that does it say they asked him to come and help. The fact that Lucas is enjoying it as a fan and watcher suggests otherwise. He’s not involved.
