'The Mandalorian' recreated a tiny detail from the original 'Star Wars' trilogy that fans might have missed
Production designer Andrew L. Jones tackled the unique challenge of bringing the rich world of "Star Wars" to a live-action TV show setting for the very first time. His recently Emmy-winning work on Disney Plus' "The Mandalorian" carried a specific tradition from the Lucasfilm days, including fun Easter eggs and details that superfans of the franchise might recognize.
A now-famous example found in "The Mandalorian" is the camtono — a special safe seen when the eponymous bounty hunter is paid with bricks of beskar in the second episode.
The camtono was a real ice cream maker that was turned into a prop, first spotted for a brief second in the 1980 "Star Wars" movie "The Empire Strikes Back."
"There's another example that's interesting, although it's not so well-known," Jones told Insider in a recent interview. "It's from Docking Bay 94, where the Millennium Falcon is first seen."
