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.

Finale was the first non-Netflix show to ever top the US streaming charts, with more than 33 million views the week it released (and that's potentially underselling views on devices other than TVs). [Reply]

1.34 billion minutes of viewing time. Wow. [Reply]

What's even crazier is that the first episode didn't air until November 2020.
I'll be really surprised if season 3 of The Mandalorian, which is looking at a January 2022 start date, is the most streamed show of all time that year. [Reply]

VFX, but not entirely CG. They used a practical model for most of the space shots of the Razorcrest (and Moff Gideon's cruiser in season 2), and used scanned physical miniatures to create elements that were used in the volume. [Reply]

I was more clarifying than disagreeing. Though a practical model isn't the same thing as a practical set.
When you say it's 'all VFX' there's an implication that it's all CG (as in, fake) and the only difference is the use of the volume. That's not the case here, they used physical models and miniatures. Which is very unusual now, to the point that the CCO of ILM had to personally build a new motion control rig from scratch to shoot the ships with. [Reply]
Gina gone denny mathews voice. This was bound to happen.
@AaronCouch: Lucasfilm statement: "Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable." https://twitter.com/AaronCouch/statu...93429882650625 [Reply]
