Giancarlo Esposito Praises This Season of THE MANDALORIAN Saying It's "Visiually Profound" and "A Sight and Sound Extravaganza"
It has been two long years since the second season of the hit Disney series The Mandalorian was released. Fans have been waiting two years to see how the story will continue, and according to one of the show’s stars, Giancarlo Esposito, this new season is going to blow fans away!
In a recent interview with Collider, the actor, who plays the villainous Moff Gideon, talked openly about the impressive third season of the show, saying:
I just think that the show gets more expanded and more visually profound with each season. And I think it's the vision of Jon Favreau and David Filoni, certainly, that begins that expansion. But it's also all of the artisans that they trust to collaborate with them. I was blown away by that sizzle reel. All of a sudden, the world just came at you in a much more intense, and – it's always been gratifying – but in a way that allowed you to know... You know that feeling that you have of dread or doom, or excitement personified? That's the feeling you get because the story is all of a sudden being coalesced for you to understand elements that you didn't know about.
He went on to discuss how it feels to watch Season 3, saying:
"I love the mythology that goes behind this show that's incorporated into the visuals that seem to be filmic. And I love the fact that you're able to see, with each episode this season, you're really turning on a new movie. Visually, it's a sight and sound extravaganza that expands you to a place that."
He went on to talk about the scope of the show and the season, comparing it to his upcoming project, Kaleidoscope, which is heading to Netflix on January 1st:
“Look, we can say a lot of words about a lot of different things, just like Kaleidoscope. But I think when you watch it, you have the space to feel emotion and connection between characters. The Mandalorian, you have the space to feel the largess of this universe, of this world-building. And you have the space to see where you fit in. God, I wish I could be that warrior, that hero, that heroine. And we see the weakness and the power of the villainous who want for themselves and not for the whole. What I love about this show, it is about our army, is about all of us who are starting to understand, once again, it's for the people and by the people. And if we stand up and allow our voices to be heard, and understand there's strength in numbers, we can then recreate the world as it should be in peace, harmony, and creatively, scientifically, and politically, a way for us to understand that there are no borders anymore. The Mandalorian exemplifies all of that.”
Esposito finished off his glowing praise of Season 3 by sharing that, "This season is off the chain. [Y]ou're going to love it." So if you weren’t already excited for the next season, it sounds like you should be!
The Mandalorian returns on March 1, 2023. Are you pumped?!
