Favreu says the series will focus on the darker, freakier side of Star Wars. “I’m trying to evoke the aesthetics of not just the original trilogy [and] not just the first film, but the first act of the first film. What was it like on Tatooine? What was going on in that cantina? That has fascinated me since I was a child, and I love the idea of the darker, freakier side of Star Wars, the Mad Max aspect of Star Wars,” he said. The screencap from the series (above) certainly corroborates the “freakier” statement.
