Along with a hint of the plot and a list of directors
By Isaiah Mayersen,
Big quote: “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 Mandalorian is primed to be a hit series. Expected to debut sometime
time next year as Disney launches its streaming service, it will be
bringing new stories about unknown characters from an unexplored time
period – 3 years after The Last Jedi, when the New Republic is gaining
strength and the galaxy is finally no longer at war. Jon Favreau, who
posted the above image and quote to his Instagram, will be the executive
director and is bringing a $10 million budget for each of the ten
episodes in the first season.
The series has already reeled in some big names including Taika Waititi,
who directed Thor: Ragnarok; Dave Filoni from Star Wars: The Clone Wars
and Star Wars Rebels; and Favreau himself, who was an executive
producer of the Avengers movies and Iron Man 1 & 2. He’s also
promised that he’ll be integrating “ground-breaking” CGI technologies
similar to the ones he used in The Jungle Book, which won an Academy
Award for its visual effects.
Other directors include Deborah Chow (Jessica Jones), Rick Famuyiwa
(Dope) and Bryce Dallas Howard (Solemates), according to StarWars.com.
Assisting Favreau as producers are Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy, Colin
Wilson and Karen Gilchrist. There’s not a whisper about casting yet
despite the fact the show is expected to begin filming this week, but
there has been a variety of other details quietly revealed.
For starters, we know that there won’t be any characters we’ve already
met in the show. And considering how close it is to the destruction of
the Empire, many fans are expecting to see outlaws (such as the
character in the image) trying to fill that power vacuum. Images of a
potential set were also leaked by MakingStarWars.net, showing what might
be Tatooine. There are also reports of filming expected to take place
in a coastal environment.
Hopefully, The Mandalorian will be more of a success than Solo: A Star
Wars Story. After Solo made far less in the box office than Disney was
predicting, rumors began flying that Star Wars spinoff movies were being
cancelled, including the alleged Boba Fett movie. The character in the
image is very similar looking to Boba Fett, so it's possible ideas from
the movie were integrated.
