Jon Favreau, executive producer and showrunner on The Mandalorian, has shared his ideas for a theme park ride based around the hit Disney+ show, revolving around Din Djarin’s first ship, the Razor Crest.
In an interview with IMDb, Favreau revealed his idea for a potential Mandalorian ride:
“I’d probably do something that’s very immersive. I’d probably do something with haptics worked in. I’d probably use assets that we use in The Volume,” Favreau said, referring to ILM’s StageCraft Volumes, virtual production stages that utilize an LED screen for real-time effects in productions like The Mandalorian and Ahsoka. “Even when you’re just sitting there [in The Volume], it feels like a ride. It’d almost be like half behind-the-scenes and half a ride.”
Favreau continued: “I know when I was younger, I loved when they pulled the curtain back on the effects of the movies. It really made me probably want to do what I’m doing now, so I think that there should be an educational component, but not educational like a museum reading a plaque — educational, like, sitting here, feel this, and here’s how we did it.”
The dream attraction would “probably be in the Razor Crest,” Favreau said of the Mandalorian’s original ship that was — spoiler alert — destroyed by Moff Gideon’s (Giancarlo Esposito) Imperial forces in The Mandalorian season 2.
Let’s see if Bob Iger and the Imagineers at the Walt Disney Company are listening to Favreau’s ideas. Don’t miss the new season of The Mandalorian exclusively on Disney+.
