Disney+ has released a 17-minute featurette about the Razor Crest, the ship belonging to Pedro Pascal’s titular character in their live-action “Star Wars” series “The Mandalorian”.
A lot of work went into the design of the bounty hunter’s vehicle and the designers took a lot of inspiration from old-school “Star Wars” filmmaking. Using the Air Force plan known as the A-10 Warthog as a basis, they combined WWII aesthetics with “Star Wars” tech to indicate this ship design might pre-date the X-Wings.
They also looked at “airport graveyards” to give it a more shoddy appearance to make it appear as if it had been long in use but remained “intimidating and very strong”. “The Mandalorian” will return to Disney+ for its second season on October 30th.
That’s not all today as Universal and DreamWorks Animation have released the first trailer for the second season of Netflix Original animated kids series “Fast & Furious: Spy Racers” which finds the team heading to Rio de Janeiro. The new episodes kick off October 9th.
