Jon Favreau,The Mandalorian‘s creator, head writer, and showrunner, has taken some of the blame for the delay in official merchandise.
“I have to thank Disney and LucasFilmbecause the way the cat usually gets out of the bag for that stuff is merchandizing and toy catalogs and things like that. So they really backed us up because we really wanted it to be that you had to watch it yourself, so that every time you watched the show, there are new twists and secrets that come out,” he toldEntertainment Tonightat the show’s premiere in November 2019.
“That requires a lot of restraint from the people who are footing the bill, saying that they’re going to hold back on certain things so that the public doesn’t know ahead of time. Part of that was holding back on some of the merchandising and holding back on some of the characters.”
