After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.
The series will be written and executive produced by Emmy-nominated producer and actor Jon Favreau, as previously announced, with Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels) directing the first episode.
Additional episodic directors include Deborah Chow (Jessica Jones), Rick Famuyiwa (Dope), Bryce Dallas Howard (Solemates), and Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok).
It will be executive produced by Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson. Karen Gilchrist will serve as co-executive producer. Stay tuned to StarWars.com for updates.

THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT, A NEW SERIES, COMING DECEMBER 2021 ON DISNEY+. THE LEGEND WILL RETURN NEXT YEAR.
Boba Fett is back. And his story is just beginning.
As teased in a surprise end-credit sequence following the season finale of The Mandalorian, the legendary bounty hunter’s journey will continue in The Book of Boba Fett. Jon Favreau, executive producer of The Mandalorian, confirmed today on Good Morning America that the new series is currently in production and will arrive December 2021, only on Disney+.
The Book of Boba Fett will be set within the timeline of The Mandalorian and star Temuera Morrison as the titular bounty hunter, along with Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand. Robert Rodriguez — who directed Chapter 14 of The Mandalorian, a thrilling installment that reintroduced Boba Fett to the Star Wars galaxy — joins Favreau and Dave Filoni as executive producer.
Boba Fett made his big-screen debut in 1980’s Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, becoming an instant fan favorite thanks to his visually arresting armor and cool demeanor. Jeremy Bulloch, the original actor inside the armor, passed away last week — but his legacy, including all he brought to Boba Fett, goes on. The Book of Boba Fett will carry that legacy forward.
Season 3 of The Mandalorian will go into production next year. [Reply]

Spoiler!
It's easy to write around Sabine giving her the Darksaber.
Bo-Katan broke tradition by accepting the Darksaber. There would be a built in conflict there with Death Watch. This could propel the reintroduction of the Armorer and Favreau's Paz Viszla. And there could be a conflict there between the Watch and the now lapsed Child of the Watch Din Djarin. Who actually did win it in combat.
Beyond that, Bo-Katan lost the Darksaber *and* lost the planet to the Empire. Wouldn't be a stretch to suggest that she lost the support or faith of some of the clans that came together to back her when Sabine handed the Darksaber to her.
Those are just a couple ideas that an idiot like me came up with. Favreau and Filoni are way better at this than I am, so I'm sure they already had it figured it out before they filmed it.
They could actually use that to tie it all together, say that The Children of the Watch (the group Din & the armorer are a part of) started as a result or her not following the old ways when she accepted the dark saber, and that splintered Mandalore & allowed the Empire to destroy them. Having learned from that experience she now knows the only way to unite Mandalore is to properly attain the Saber in combat. [Reply]

It's almost as if Mandalorians are treating the Dark Saber like the sword of Arthurian legend. [Reply]
You'd think Disney would just reach out to the Deepfake guys and hire them instead of being clowned.
What am I missing here?
I've watched this a couple of times on a new 27" LED monitor and the only difference I've been able to spot is some really mild color-correction. [Reply]

There's a clear difference. When you look at the side-by-side comparison, the images on the left are blurry and while well done, obviously CGI. The images on the right look like Mark Hamill stepped out of a fucking time machine from 1983. The eyes are particularly lifelike. [Reply]
