The directors each revealed the news via Twitter, with Rodriguez quipping he’d had the “rare privilege of directing the biggest star in the universe” while posing with a puppet of “The Child” (colloquially known as Baby Yoda) and Reed simply sharing a shot of his director’s chair with Din Djarin’s helmet perched on it.
