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.

Not sure how I feel about it. I’ve always been whatever, just tell a good story - and that’s probably where I will stay.
But goddamn I love mando and if they botch it, I’ll be unreasonably upset.
That was my instant reaction. And if that's where they are going I'll be incredibly disappointed. It was a shit story line to begin with. Don't double down on it. [Reply]

Not to derail or anything, and I haven't watched the attached video, but this season of Bad Batch was really good. I'm not the biggest animated guy. I did Clone Wars and Rebels and I obviously enjoyed them because that's a commitment, but I'm not a diehard guy. Some of those episodes were shit.
Bad Batch was good. There was some fluff in there, but it wasn't out of line. And I cared about all the characters far, far, far more than I anticipated. And they're doing some really interesting things. Especially the Empire phasing out clones had me far more interested than it had any business doing. The cloning/Palpatine stuff I'm on record not being thrilled about, but they're doing it in a nuanced, natural way, not the hamfisted dogshit Episode 9 was.
It also doesn't get too big for it's britches. It's pretty small scale and feels pretty small scale, because that's what fits the story. They're tangent to some big shit, but like I said, nuance, natural, good.
If you haven't, and you dig Star Wars, Bad Batch is worth the watch. [Reply]
I love Bad Batch, but using it to justify The Rise of Skywalker is throwing good money after bad. Mandalorian and Bad Batch are actually well written and enjoyable. Imo, it's a waste to use them to backstop one of the worst Star Wars plots ever.

That's silly, this has been some very high quality Star Wars material. Some of the best they've produced in my opinion. Not sure where you're getting the reviews, but they're wrong. [Reply]
