The Disney+ service hit today and people are grabbing up the app and checking out all that the service has. One of the big shows that’s part of the originals line is Star Wars: The Mandalorian. With a potential shift of the one-off films being done as extended series, there’s a lot I’m hopeful for while they refigure out how to do the film side. They’ve now dropped a new minute-long clip from the first episode that gives us a bit more of a taste of the tone and style of the show. It’s high on my to-watch list once I can get all my viewing crew together tonight for it!
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).
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.
