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.

Many believed Max Lloyd Jones acted the entire sequence as Luke and Hamill provided the voice, but Favreau said otherwise, as Hamill was on set filming scenes as Luke.
It would appear Jones handled Luke’s action beats while Hamill acted in the scene where Luke came face to face with Baby Yoda and took him away for Jedi training.

While I'd definitely like to see someone else as president of Lucasfilm, I'd rather Favreau and Filoni continue as Creatives and not Admin/Decision makers. At this point in time, F&F have a Blank Check at Lucasfilm, which allows them to pretty much do whatever they want to do in the Star Wars Universe (and in Favreau's case, he already had Carte Blanche in the MCU as well).
Lucasfilm needs their Kevin Feige, someone far younger than KK and more in touch with not only the source material but fans as well. It needs to be someone that understands filmmakers, such as a successful producer like KK but someone far more in tune with the Star Wars Galaxy.
If either Filoni or Favreau were to take on the role as president, either guy would need to pull back from daily production, like that of The Mandalorian, Rangers of the New Republic and The Book of Boba Fett (along with Robert Rodriguez) to take on more an Executive/Admin role, which would weaken their ability to tell stories and be creative, which is really who they are as people: Storytellers.

My soul was dying while making other people's dreams come true.
At least tell some your buddies or acquaintances at Disney production/ creative team to add certain elements of Lucas' new trilogy treatment elements .

Fair enough, and good non-emotional perspective.
KK can stay on in her current role as long as she takes a 20% pay cut (to help fund future endeavors by F&F) and stays hidden in the shadows of Lucasfilm. I feel like that is reasonable, especially considering the success Lucasfilm has had when she's not determining the course. :-) [Reply]

I can’t even imagine what it will be like in 5 years... [Reply]

I can only imagine how much it helps the actors to see their surroundings.
I watched how the prequels were made and it shows exactly why the actors were shall we say, cold and withdrawn.
Yes, I know they weren't the best actors, but it's got to be hard to act when you are surrounded by nothing but green yet told to act like there is a lot of sci-fi shit going on around you. [Reply]
