A few days ago, Deadline reported that Willow will not be getting a second season after the first season premiered late last year. The series was a sequel to the 1988 film of the same name, which was created by George Lucas and directed by Ron Howard. Showrunner Jon Kasdan has a deep love for [...]
It's become customary for Disney+ to release a making-of documentary after a series airs, and I'm thrilled about it. I'm always fascinated to see a behind-the-scenes glimpse at what went into the making of the show, and it's led to some truly great explorations into it.

It's Willow day! Another episode of the Disney+ series from Lucasfilm was released today, taking us deep into the mountainous mines of Skellin, home of the trolls, where our characters learn some intriguing truths with ever-deepening mystery.
