Jon Favreau wants to "pull out all the stops" with the "level of spectacle" in The Mandalorian and Grogu to prove it's not "just the TV show" on a big screen

Director Jon Favreau is doing all he can to shake off accusations that The Mandalorian and Grogu is just a big-screen TV episode.

"That level of spectacle is what I was aspiring to," Favreau told SFX magazine of the scale present during Mando's feature-length outing. "You really want to pull out all the stops, because people are asking, ‘Okay, is this just the TV show [on the big screen]?’ Well, there’s only one way to answer that question, and that’s to sit in a movie theater and watch it. I have to make my case that we made the most of this opportunity."
