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.

But when I get Disney+, it'll be for this show. All the Marvel stuff is cool and all but this looks amazing.
I mean you could always watch other stuff for two months and binge this.
I agree it is a very different viewing experience. But I see where Disney is at they don’t want a bunch of our aged fools getting it for a weekend and cancelling Monday. At least this way if you sign up on the first day and keep it for 2 months you’ll at least have at using it for something else and seeing the value.
I get it. I’d probably do it too but you’re right it sucks. [Reply]

F'k that. I'll subscribe once the whole thing has aired, and avoid discussion about it. [Reply]
Some journalists were able to see thirty minutes of the first season of The Mandalorian. Here is a compilation of their feelings. pic.twitter.com/dpL4BxLdfK
I'm not going to go out of my way to watch this. But I hope it's the beginning of something great. It looks a little... off to me. But the word out there is that it's totally dope. [Reply]
