'Simpsons' producer Al Jean on new 'Star Wars'-inspired short and the 'Mandalorian' cameo you didn't see

"The Simpsons" executive producer Al Jean and the show's team could have used a little of The Force's power when producing the new Disney+ short -- "Maggie Simpson in 'The Force Awakens From Its Nap'" -- in a mere four months.

"We wrote the first draft around January 28. It was me, Michael Price and Joel Cohen and David Silverman directed. And we really worked nonstop from late January right till the end of last week," Jean tells CNN. "You may think, 'Wow, three minutes. How could you take so long?' You know, it takes a long time to make something look casual." The story, out now in honor of the May 4 "Star Wars" fan-observed holiday, finds the youngest Simpson spending the day at Jabba's Hut Jedi Preschool and among "Star Wars" familiars -- everything from baby Wookiees to baby droids. She then must battle the dark side to retrieve her beloved pacifier.
