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 hey, maybe she can win an award for acting now, if somebody starts a "career darwin award for dummies".
Maybe I should start a "Right Wing Safe Space" where all the Conservative snowflakes can get together, proudly display their Trump brand Victim Cards and cry endlessly about the injustice of it all, how the Disney Overlords In Commiewood don't play fair and Star Trek sucks. Oh wait, that's the DC Forum. Well shit. Nevermind. Oh well,
Hey! I know! Maybe I can start a "Left Wing Creative Bankruptcy Reeducation Camp" where we talk about which popular 70s or 80s show or movie is going to get rebooted next and why it 100% needs to star a non-cis half latina, quarter African, 12% east Asian hermaphrodite and make sure we get apologies from all the white men who made the original for not getting it right the first time. Even though some of them had the audacity to not be white or male. ****ing privilege!
I hate this ****ing place so much sometimes. And by "this place" I mean every place. Because I can't get away from this political bullshit anywhere, and I'm so ****ing tired of it. I just want to go back to talking about how awesome it was to see Luke Skywalker be a badass and what's going to happen next season. **** Gina Carano. **** Disney. **** you. **** me.
Pretty fair mostly. I keep checking back in the thread hoping we've moved back to the actual show. [Reply]

Is he going to be in on Rangers or anything else we've heard about in the Star Wars universe? He has been one of my favorite TV show actors since Deadwood. [Reply]

Right? her arms and legs are bigger than a lot of men [Reply]

I honestly don't know, that'd be a good question for Dane
But yeah, Deadwood really put him on the map [Reply]

I don’t know shit about anything but the dork videos I watched said he was a fairly prominent character in the EU. There is a lot to work with if they decide to go that way and he’s onboard. [Reply]

Olyphant is one of my favorite actors working right now and he was fantastic, if not amazing, in Justified. I'd love to see more Cobb Vanth in the Star Wars Universe, whether it's on the Mandalorian or one of the other series set post-Return of the Jedi.
But the dude is a Vanderbilt. He didn't have to parlay or "fight" for anything. He was born wealthy, handsome and with privilege. [Reply]

The first thing I remember seeing him in was an HBO World War 2 movie called When Trumpets Fade. He had a small role - a young lieutenant who loses his shit when his platoon gets wiped out. He was so memorable and intense that I actually remembered him when I saw him in later roles; normally that's not the case.
Check the 8:00 mark. And the movie overall is very good, but it is dark and fucked up.

FYI, the Vanderbilt's still receive money for building those railroads.
I've met a few in New York and suffice to say, they're assholes. Not "DaneMcCloud internet forum assholes" but "You're a worthless pissant because I'm a trust fund Vanderbilt kid" type of asshole, which to me, are the worst kind. [Reply]

Didn't know that about him, and yes it always takes a bit of shine off people when you know they were set for life whether they "made it" or not like Taylor Swift etc
People like that don't have to risk anything
That said he's an outstanding actor anyway, even his voice is very distinctive... I knew exactly who it was long before he even took off the helmet
On a side note I'm worried about his health though, he was sooo skinny in Mando, looked like a 90 pound sack of skin and bones [Reply]

100% in agreement.
He's a phenomenal actor, whether it's his own show in Justified or in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood or the Netflix program with Drew Barrymore.
