We spoke w/ Willow showrunner JonKasdan about that explosive finale, Graydon's future, and why it all comes back to love being 'the most powerful thing in the universe'.
While fantasy television had audiences in a chokehold for most of 2022, spawning spinoffs of many a popular franchise, there was nothing in the vast landscape of TV quite like Willow, the sequel to the 1988 film of the same name starring Warwick Davis.
COLLIDER: I have so much that I want to talk to you about, but I decided that the first thing that I wanted to talk to you about was Graydon, because one, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say, "How dare you do that to him in the finale?" KASDAN: Yeah. Well, that's certainly our intention and our hope, and we’d love to do more. And I think the actors are united in that, and the producers are united, and we’re looking for the opportunity.
Watching the fandom response has been, I think, one of my favorite parts of watching it. Especially because I saw so much of it in advance.But I noticed... Did you notice people have translated the Pnakotic that's in the show? They've figured out how to do that. What Pablo [Hidalgo] always explains to me is like, in Star Wars and all these things they're speaking their own language, but we're hearing the English translation, because we're getting that gift from George [Lucas], or whatever. So, the language that they speak we call Guanari, and that was the third of these things. So, it was a complicated thing, and every part of it was built by Kristian, Louis, and with a little help from Kristian's daughter, Zanzibar.
I wanted to round back around to Graydon just for a second, because I think another thing that I've noticed a lot of people responding to is, very specifically, his relationship with Elora. I'm interested, was he always going to be this counterpoint to her? Either romantically, or with the whole thing, the Wyrm and the Harbinger?
