rewrite this title Video: ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ | Anatomy of a Scene

I’m Jon Favreau and I’m the director of “The Mandalorian and Grogu.” So this is Hugo’s. It’s a food truck in “Star Wars.” That character is Hugo Durant, based on the title of the Scorsese film “Hugo,” and that character is voiced by Martin Scorsese. We recorded his dialogue and shot video reference, and the character design and animation was inspired by the radio play that we assembled from all of his improv and his performances. This truck was a practical truck that we built, but the sandwich itself and the character are both digital. Roy Choi, who was the chef that I worked with on the movie “Chef,” was a food consultant on this, and came up with an actual recipe for that sandwich. It’s called a flat meat fry, and it’s sort of like a grilled Spam sandwich. And what’s being ladled on top is the filling of a hairy egg. That’s a callback to episode two of the first season of “The Mandalorian.” [LAUGHS] “Something funny?” “Yeah, yeah, everybody… Everybody knows Rotta the Hutt!” And now he points out where he could find Rotta the Hutt. And we could see that those posters are inspired by the look of a period film of an old boxing or wrestling handbill.
