3. Hooking In Mark
Getting Mark Hamill on board was no easy process. It began before season 1, when Favreau and Filoni asked Hamill if they could show him some footage to get his opinion on the show. He loved it, and even did a few uncredited voices (such as the bartender in the Tatooine Cantina in season one). Eventually, before the show even premiered, they finally pitched him the idea, and brought his Return of the Jedi outfit and the Grogu puppet to his house. Mark read the script quietly in another room and agreed.
The problem is, no one had figured out how to actually use Mark at this point.
