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.

interpretation of the creed similar to religious beliefs like Catholics and Protestants [Reply]
I think a lot of these questions will be answered, this season or next. At some point I think we'll either see flashbacks to Din Djarin's training as a foundling, or maybe the introduction of a mentor figure (Michael Biehn?). [Reply]
With the possible Boba Fett reveal, hopefully they make the idea of him being alive ambiguous and that's the only time in the series we see the Fett silhouette and leave it as a mystery. [Reply]
What’s the etiquette about spoiling in this thread? How long after an episode is released before we can talk about it in here without spoilers? [Reply]

I'm actually hoping for this. Love the show and finished watching the 5 episodes I had left Saturday. Can't wait for episode 10! [Reply]

I don't think it has been established. The episodes are released on Fridays at Midnight. I would think that by Sunday morning no one should have to worry about spoiling anything. [Reply]

That sounds fair. Just stay out of the thread until you see the episode past Sunday morning or risk spoilers. [Reply]

I could see this happening since Rebels introduced the Portal of the Force Wielders and the World between Worlds. They could retcon the shit out of whatever the hell they want. [Reply]
Set the bar too high last week. Placeholder episode that (seemingly) really didn't do much for the plot felt like a let down.
Although I got a kick out of the jawa bounty hunter.
Lol
Spoiler!
This episode felt like a "throwaway" episode from Rebels that ended up playing a major part of the overall storyline down the road (the Space Whales episode comes to mind), so hopefully that will be the case.
That said, I have to say, I'm greatly disappointed with this season so far. It seems like all of the goodwill they built with Season One is almost lost, at least for me, anyway. I want to see something move the story forward next week or I'm just going to put it on the backburner until the season is over.

What bummed me out was that the actions were so obvious. I'd have rather seen Baby Yoda communicate with the unborn through The Force, not just eat them, which was cringe-worthy and sent a weird message, IMO.
