After Lee Isaac Chung earned an Oscar nomination for his quietly devastating semi-autobiographical film Minari, all eyes were on the 45-year-old director. Would he carve out a niche as a director of profound immigrant dramas? Would he become the next cinematic shepherd of the Asian-American experience?

“I think many people assumed that that's what I was wanting to do next,” Chung tells Inverse.

But instead of accepting the many scripts he received “solely centered on an Asian-American or Korean-American experience,” Chung did the unexpected: he went to Star Wars. Chung’s next project was as director of an episode of The Mandalorian, the Season 3 episode The Convert, a political thriller-inspired hour centered on a minor character, Dr. Pershing (Omid Abtahi).

Being a bit of a departure from the adventures of series protagonists Din Djarin and Grogu, Chung viewed this first foray into a galaxy far, far away as a valuable training ground for his next phase in blockbuster filmmaking.
