The Disney+ service launch this year has some big projects coming but it’s also launching with a big one with Star Wars: The Mandalorian. With a potential shift of the one-off films being done as extended series, there’s a lot of appeal there as we have a Cassian Andor series in the works and the first inkling of an Obi-wan series.
We’re two weeks away from the debut of the service on November 12th, 2019 and The Mandalorian is getting its debut then as well. No screeners are being sent out as the first episode supposedly has a big spoiler in it and they don’t want that to come before the show starts. We’re also getting the second episode on November 15th, the Friday right after the Tuesday debut, so it’ll be moving quickly! To get people excited, a new teaser trailer has arrived for the project to give it some new footage and a new meme launched.
Lucasfilm previously revealed that the cast in that it would include Pedro Pascal along with Gina Carano and Nick Nolte. We also got an expanded list of who is involved with Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Emily Swallow (Supernatural), Carl Weathers (Predator), Omid Abtahi (American Gods) and Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man).
Previous trailer:
Jon Favreau is writing it and working as an executive producer on the series. Dave Filoni of the animated side will be directing the first episode while other directors include Taika Waititi, Bryce Dallas Howard, Deborah Chow, and Rick Famuyiwa. Greg Fraser from Star Wars: Rogue One is on board as the cinematographer.
Plot Concept: 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.
