‘Mandalorian and Grogu’ Is First ‘Star Wars’ Movie to Be Shot Entirely in Los Angeles Thanks to California Tax Incentive, Says Director Jon Favreau
- What’s Inside:
- * Star Wars finally films in LA!
- * A big thanks to California’s tax breaks.
- * Why this is a cool moment for the franchise.
Okay, this is pretty cool news for Star Wars fans and for Hollywood! We just heard that the new movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu, is going to be shot right here in Los Angeles. Yep, you read that right!
After almost 50 years since the very first Star Wars movie, this is the first time a film from the galaxy far, far away will be made on home turf. Director Jon Favreau gave a shout-out to the California Film Commission for helping make this happen with tax incentives. It’s like the Force is guiding them back!
We love seeing big productions choose LA. It adds to the whole creative vibe of the city. Think about all the iconic shots and the unique aesthetic that LA’s scenery can bring to the Star Wars universe. It’s going to look amazing, we bet.
This move shows how much these tax incentives can help bring film jobs and creative energy back to California. It’s a win-win, really. Makes us excited to see what kind of magic they’ll create with Grogu and his Mandalorian papa right here in our backyard.
We also saw some interesting news about Sanjay Dutt’s movie being put on hold, and MrBeast possibly facing some drama with the Teamsters. Plus, a reminder of how Amitabh Bachchan stepped up during a tough time for Amjad Khan.
Our Take
It’s about time! We’re so happy to see a Star Wars movie being filmed in Los Angeles. It feels like a homecoming, and we can’t wait to see how the familiar sights and sounds of LA influence the visual style of this new adventure for Mando and Grogu.
