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.
@AaronCouch: According to sources, Lucasfilm planned to unveil Gina Carano as the star of her own show during December’s investors day. They scrubbed those plans after erratic tweets in November https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ne...ia-controversy [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
Loved her character. Love her. And obviously I agree with her values.
But still....
She knew damn well the climate she existed in. Much like someone else we all know, she should have stayed the hell off twitter. Maybe she thought she was too popular to get whacked. Should have known better.

I'll miss her on the show.
Every entertainment dollar you spend funds that cancerous climate. [Reply]

She should have known what trouble would be coming. Only lefty liberals get free speech on twitter.
Such a needy, emotional, narcissistic lot. It's like the worst girlfriend you ever had, except somehow they have squatters rights in your house and you can't move away or just break up.
Just a lifetime of listening to their shit. [Reply]
Was bound to happen eventually with as much stupid shit as she was putting out there. They probably wanted to cut ties with her before something even worse was said.

What did she tweet (I don't do twitter and I've been busy as ****)?
Carano was fired after sharing a controversial social media post, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The now deleted Instagram story showed a picture of a Jewish woman being persecuted by Nazis and said, "Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors … even by children. Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views." [Reply]
