Willow Ufgood returns in Willow, the new series on Disney Plus landing 30th November, following a screening of the first two episodes that Fantha Tracks shall be reporting from next week and Lucasfilm bring us Willow’s World, a four-part dip into the world of Willow.
When Willow and his family discover a small baby on the riverbank — one seemingly too big to be a Nelwyn — the farmer ultimately decides to take his first steps outside his homeland in order to return the child to her people. The journey, however, will not only put his courage to the test, but also his assumptions about the other inhabitants of the realm.
Like the baby Elora Danan, the roguish Madmartigan is a Daikini, who live across many different lands. In the movie’s novelization by Wayland Drew, Willow explains to his daughter Mims that Daikini are “giants…from up north. They’re terrible! Greedy! Vicious! You can’t trust them…”
Unlike the generally peaceful Nelwyn, Daikini society is ruptured between warring kingdoms. The evil forces of Nockmaar under the command of Bavmorda and General Kael have already laid waste to the city of Tir Asleen by the time of Willow’s story. The brave knights of Galladoorn lead a force against them, though many other Daikini seem to get by on their own with no clear allegiances, the rapscallion swordsman Madmartigan among them. Others may shift their allegiance all together, like the villainous Bavmorda’s daughter, Sorsha, who finds a change of heart.
