As Willow continues to roll out on Disney Plus, with the fourth episode landing tomorrow morning, Jon Kasdan has made it very clear that he’s hopeful for more adventures on the Mother World. So much so he’s ‘begging Kathy‘ for a second season, one that would expand the story and take us to new locations on Andowyne.

“I hope so, we’re certainly working at it and I’m begging Kathy because working with these actors and this crew of filmmakers on this show has been the best experience. We still feel like there are a lot of stories and bigger places to visit.”
Kasdan spoke with The Hollywood Reporter recently and touched upon a major influence to the TV iteration of Willow, the older Luke Skywalker from The Last Jedi (which incidentally premiered 5 years ago today at the Albert Hall).
“The one thing I took note of in particular was Mark Hamill returning to Luke Skywalker and how he went about the approach for that. I thought he was really interesting, and it wasn’t the expected approach, certainly. He came at it from quite a different angle, and I also did the same. I noticed that Mark didn’t try to play the character younger. He just leaned into his more mature years, and that’s really what I did as Willow.”
Be sure to check back later in the week for our review of episode 4 of Willow.
Exploring the galaxy since 1978, Mark wrote his first fan fiction in 1981 and been a presence online since his first webpage Fanta War in 1996.
