The Mandalorian was initially meant to be a side series for fans. It was lower budget, practical effects, and little to no core characters from the main franchise. Unfortunately, basically every other Star Wars IP fell flat on its face since then, so by default, The Mandalorian is now the flagship Star Wars storyline. The movie was good as a nice side story for fans, it was bad as a franchise-running blockbuster. It’s really amazing how many bad decisions Disney had to make to end up here.
Correct. They even produced a behind the scenes segment showing them filming in the volume with light changes, etc.
What the volume is supposed to alleviate is post-production. What they filmed in that scene is what we’ll see most of the time - no need to generate and color match the background. Think of all The Avengers scenes that were green screen - tons of post production work had to be done for every scene.

Practical effects? Wasn’t pretty much the entire thing filmed in Disney’s version of “The Volume”?

The way the Boba Fett series flopped and tried, repeatedly, to draft on the Mandalorian’s success within 1 session…ooofda.
I was never a Boba Fett fan, I thought he was highly overrated and a big “So what?” who managed to sell merch.
And even I hate Book of Boba Fett with a passion for how badly they fucked up his character.
How the hell does someone who served as one of Jabba’s Right Hand Men act this incompetently as a crime lord?
