There is little doubt that being a part of The Mandalorian is a dream come true for any actor and Emily Swallow has confirmed that she truly enjoys working on the Star Wars series. The actor who plays The Armorer shared a cool story about what it was like filming Season 3's premiere episode.
In The Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 1, The Armorer leads her fellow Mandalorians in a ceremony to induct the youngling Ragnar Viszla into their tribe. However, their ceremony is interrupted when a Dinosaur Turtle attacks them and the tribe struggles to defeat it until Din Djarin and Grogu arrive.
It's an action-packed opening sequence and Emily Swallow has confirmed that it was one of the most fun scenes to shoot.
Emily Swallow recently spoke to Collider and she stated that she has many favorite scenes to shoot in The Mandalorian.
"Oh golly! Well, it takes forever, because there's so many…I mean, to make it look so cool," Swallow said. "Like it's astonishing to me to shoot it and to see what it looks like when we're shooting it and then to watch it and see how incredible it is. And I go, 'Oh my gosh, I didn't know I was on that location.'"
She then revealed that they didn't actually film on location for that awesome scene in the Season 3 premiere.
"In the first episode when we were shooting on the beach with that strange croc-gator-turtle, or whatever it was that came after us. It was like we were in this like beautiful mountain lake. And I said 'I would like to go there,' but we were on this backlot where they had like built this artificial sand, and it’s astonishing," Swallow said.
It's great to know that the cast had fun while working on the episode. With that in mind, we're looking forward to more cool scenes in The Mandalorian Season 3.
