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.

THAT'S who he reminds me of! Couldn't quite put my finger on it before...lol.
Boyfriend and I watched the first episode after the kiddo went to bed last night. Definitely looking forward to more. [Reply]
this ruled and I'm not overly fond of the franchise regarding their recent pictures.
This one is awesome though - Werner Herzog always belonged in the newer films / series' - Glad he's in this. Big fan of him and the Mandalorian. [Reply]
Interesting with plenty of potential. Not seeing all the love though, as it was just OK in my book. I see that it could be amazing, but that first episode is not. [Reply]

The ending has my interest now, I'll be watching. At first it wasn't anything big, some cool moments and funny dialogue, not much you can take away from a 40 minute episode. [Reply]
