In 2019 he created the Disney+ show &#8220;The Mandalorian,&#8221; a space western with a blaster-wielding bounty hunter who protects the tiny but powerful alien Grogu. Favreau&#8217;s new movie is based on the show. &#8220;The Mandalorian and Grogu,&#8221; which comes out this week, is the first &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; film to hit theaters in nearly seven years.<\/p>\n<p>And apologies to Pedro Pascal (who plays the Mandalorian), but his costar tends to steal every scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Favreau says he didn&#8217;t anticipate how much the character of Grogu would blow up: &#8220;We knew it would be exciting,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We didn&#8217;t realize quite what a phenomenon it would be. And then when we saw the balloon in the Macy&#8217;s Thanksgiving Day Parade, that&#8217;s when it kind of \u2013 as a New Yorker \u2013 it really hit me. Like, &#8216;Wow! This has really hit another level.&#8217; The whole thing&#8217;s surreal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-large\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/05\/16\/f9408aa8-2ee7-4124-b20c-f61e8cf5604f\/thumbnail\/620x465\/fc210baf9319c4c2ad37862e69032e5e\/grogu-thanksgiving-parade-getty-1355502035.jpg#\" alt=\"95th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade \" height=\"465\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/05\/16\/f9408aa8-2ee7-4124-b20c-f61e8cf5604f\/thumbnail\/620x465\/fc210baf9319c4c2ad37862e69032e5e\/grogu-thanksgiving-parade-getty-1355502035.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/05\/16\/f9408aa8-2ee7-4124-b20c-f61e8cf5604f\/thumbnail\/1240x930\/3102b3562071b96c1b645ae409043f16\/grogu-thanksgiving-parade-getty-1355502035.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Grogu, a.k.a.

Fortunately I had, you know, people in my life like my dad. He was a schoolteacher but loved what he did. And I learned early on that you should expect that of a life and of a career.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, he dropped out of college and started taking improv classes in Chicago, and at age 26 was cast in the football classic &#8220;Rudy.&#8221; &#8220;It was a really inspiring film,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I thought, once I was discovered with that, that you wouldn&#8217;t look back.&#8221; But despite getting an agent and going on auditions, he said, &#8220;it didn&#8217;t really pop for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He got a few small parts here and there (including playing a clown on &#8220;Seinfeld&#8221;), but Favreau seemed destined to be just another struggling Hollywood actor, until he took the advice &#8220;write what you know,&#8221; and turned all that rejection into his first screenplay: &#8220;Swingers,&#8221; which became a movie with his buddy Vince Vaughan. &#8220;It was really a snapshot of where we were living in Hollywood as out-of-work actors,&#8221; Favreau said. &#8220;A lot of the dialogue either came from or was inspired by conversations that we had had. Movie didn&#8217;t make a lot of money, but it opened a door for a lot of us to pursue careers in a more meaningful way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Favreau had enough juice to start directing. &#8220;Elf,&#8221; starring Will Ferrell, was just his second feature behind the camera. &#8220;The hope was, could this be something that could join the pantheon of other movies like &#8216;Christmas Story&#8217; or &#8216;Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer&#8217; or &#8216;Charlie Brown,&#8217; that show every year, that become part of the tradition?&#8221; he said. &#8220;Not just here, but around the world, people know that film.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The success of &#8220;Elf&#8221; led to another huge directing job: 2008&#8217;s &#8220;Iron Man,&#8221; with Robert Downey Jr as the wise-cracking billionaire Tony Stark. Asked if his improv skills came into play with &#8220;Iron Man,&#8221; Favreau replied, &#8220;Yeah, always. Because in film, you just need a moment, you just need a twinkle of the eye or an unexpected delivery of a line or a reaction, and that breathes life into this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/05\/16\/8a092af4-e9df-447c-8f19-56b6228c4737\/thumbnail\/620x465g2\/78c86848c8fadb4a6fcdd482bf0f1759\/mandalorian-and-grogu-behind-the-scenes-1280.jpg#\" alt=\"THE MANDALORIAN &amp; GROGU \" height=\"465\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/05\/16\/8a092af4-e9df-447c-8f19-56b6228c4737\/thumbnail\/620x465g2\/78c86848c8fadb4a6fcdd482bf0f1759\/mandalorian-and-grogu-behind-the-scenes-1280.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/05\/16\/8a092af4-e9df-447c-8f19-56b6228c4737\/thumbnail\/1240x930g2\/74a5fc37c3ba0535bd14576c875da454\/mandalorian-and-grogu-behind-the-scenes-1280.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Director Jon Favreau with Pedro Pascal (Din Djarin) on the set of &#8220;The Mandalorian and Grogu.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Nicola Goode\/Lucasfilm Ltd.<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Some say Favreau&#8217;s style \u2013 mixing cutting-edge technology with crowd-pleasing characters \u2013 made him one of Hollywood&#8217;s safest bets for big-budget spectacles like &#8220;The Jungle Book.&#8221; He said, &#8220;Especially when you have a very effects-driven genre, you want to have moments of spontaneity, inspiration, humanity, &#8217;cause at the end of the day, people just care about people. That&#8217;s what they focus on: That human interaction, those emotional relationships.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And that human connection (even between aliens) is what Favreau thinks makes &#8220;The Mandalorian and Grogu&#8221; click, given the father-son relationship that develops between the Mandalorian and Grogu. &#8220;Father-son relationships have always been a big part of &#8216;Star Wars,'&#8221; he said. &#8220;This is one of the most positive father-son relationships in &#8216;Star Wars,&#8217; and, ironically, they&#8217;re not related in any way. But it is a family of choice, and &#8216;Star Wars&#8217; has always been about families coming together.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>After all, Favreau, who&#8217;s 59, still remembers watching the original &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; with his family. With this movie, he&#8217;s hoping other families get to make memories, too.<\/p>\n<p>He says when he was a kid watching &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; in a theater, the thought that he would direct a &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; film himself one day would have been &#8220;unfathomable.&#8221; &#8220;To get the opportunity to do &#8216;Star Wars&#8217; for the big screen, it feels like you&#8217;re getting a shot to pitch in the World Series,&#8221; Favreau said. &#8220;I&#8217;m excited to introduce a whole new audience to &#8216;Star Wars.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>WEB EXCLUSIVE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/extended-interview-jon-favreau\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Watch an extended interview with Jon Favreau (Video)<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-video embed--type-content_video is-video embed--float-left embed--size-medium\"><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n                              <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/extended-interview-jon-favreau\/\" class=\"embed__headline-link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__icon\"><br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n              <use xlink:href=\"#icon-video\"\/>\n            <\/svg><br \/>\n          <\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__headline\">Extended interview: Jon Favreau<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__video-duration\">50:57<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                      <\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong><em>To watch a trailer for &#8220;Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu,&#8221; click on the video player below:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-youtube-video embed--float-none embed--size-large embed--type-video\">\n<p>\n    <iframe class=\"embed__content\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/uwild1rw7Aw?autoplay=0&amp;rel=1&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbsnews.com&amp;playsinline=1\" height=\"113\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" title=\"Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu | Final Trailer | In Theaters May 22\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n  <\/p><figcaption>\n    <span class=\"embed__caption\"><br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/uwild1rw7Aw\" rel=\"noopener\">Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu | Final Trailer | In Theaters May 22<\/a><\/cite> by<br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@StarWars\" rel=\"noopener\">Star Wars<\/a><\/cite> on<br \/>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n    <\/span><br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>\u00a0For more info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<br \/>Story produced by David Rothman.
