With Voltron Legendary Defender season three in the bag and dropped on Netflix, we got the chance to sit down with showrunners Joaquim Dos Santos and Lauren Montgomery to break down the season.

Reservations about Allura piloting the Blue Lion, bringing Sven into the Legendary Defender universe, Lotor, and some possible hints to season four are all below.

Right off the bat, what were you happy with in season three of Voltron?

Montgomery: We’re really happy with how the vast majority of it came out. There’s a lot of really cool things that happened in this season. For me obviously bringing Lotor in is a huge thing for everyone. We were all really excited to do that. A huge thing for me was of course Allura becoming a Paladin. That for me we all probably wanted from day one but I was probably the most jerky about it and demanding it.
