As a seasoned gamer and Star Wars enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the galaxy far, far away, I can confidently say that the behind-the-scenes glimpse into the making of The Resistor scene from The Mandalorian Season 3 is nothing short of awe-inspiring. The sheer scale of the droid bar, with its 34 droids, is enough to make any Star Wars fan’s heart race.

As a passionate gamer, I’m thrilled to be among the first to share an exclusive peek behind the curtains! Game Rant has gotten hold of a fascinating video that offers a glimpse into the creation process of the droid bar scene from The Mandalorian Season 3. This captivating clip is included in the bonus features on the upcoming Blu-ray release, housing The Mandalorian‘s most recent season.

In the sixth episode of the third season of “The Mandalorian,” titled “Guns for Hire,” which debuted on April 5, 2023, a droid bar named The Resistor made an appearance. Although the scene featuring The Resistor is short, it contributes to the storyline progression, adds some comedic relief, and provides insights into Plazir-15, the planet where the episode unfolds, by expanding its background lore.

As a diehard fan, I can’t contain my excitement ahead of the release of “The Mandalorian: The Complete Third Season.” Disney recently unveiled a sneak peek from the 4K Blu-ray set’s bonus features, and Game Rant has been granted exclusive access to this tantalizing tidbit.

The Mandalorian’s The Resistor Scene Featured 34 Droids and Was Difficult to Film

In the given scene, a grand total of 34 droids were present, breaking the previous record for “The Mandalorian” as stated by mechanical artist Rick Galinson. The larger droids were portrayed by humans in costumes, while the smaller ones were operated remotely. The part where the entire bar turned to face the Mandalorian and Bo-Katan in astonishment was particularly tough to capture on film due to a shortage of operators to manage all the puppets. According to Galinson, they had multiple radios in front of them and had to stretch their fingers and do their best with each one during recording.

Dawn Dininger, the costume manufacturer for “The Mandalorian,” later in the video confirms this story, sharing that she was simultaneously maneuvering one of the smaller R2 units with one hand and operating a tipsy droid’s head with the other. Despite these difficulties, Bryce Dallas Howard, the director of the series, declared this scene as her most cherished moment from the entire episode.

This behind-the-scenes look at Guns for Hire is part of Galactic Legacy: The Creatures and Droids of The Mandalorian, one of the bonus features from The Mandalorian: The Complete Third Season. The 4K Blu-ray set has been available for pre-order since October 31. Loki Season Two, Hawkeye Season One, Ahsoka Season One, and The Mandalorian Season Three will be released on 4K UHD Blu-ray for the first time on December 3.
