George Lucas Came Up With This Mandalorian Name Personally; 'He Conjured It Up'

After Disney took possession of Lucasfilm in 2012, it seemed that George Lucas would leave the development of the brands owned by it to the new decision-makers. And indeed, the creator has retreated into the shadows, but like a loving father he continues to look after his growing child. As a result, the brilliant director is often seen behind the scenes of many productions from the Star Wars universe.

One such visit took place on the set of the second season of The Mandalorian. Interestingly, during this inconspicuous visit, the creator, as if out of the blue, came up with a name for one of the characters in the show - Axe Woves. This situation was recently recalled by the actor playing this role, Simon Kassianides.

Although Kassianides claims that the name Axe came about by accident, the truth may be quite different. As ScreenRant rightly points out, the Mandalorians to some extent reflect the Vikings, and, as we know from history lessons, Nordic warriors often used axes. Lucas' passion for anthropology is therefore strongly evident in his proposal for the character's name.

Also noteworthy is the fact that the legendary director still enjoys respect among the current filmmakers, who follow the master's guidance.

Finally, let's recall that all the so far released seasons of The Mandalorian can be watched on Disney+.
