Favreau will pen the script and exec produce the live-action series for the forthcoming Disney streaming service.
Disney's forthcoming streaming service won't launch until late 2019 but details surrounding one of its most highly anticipated TV series have emerged.
Jon Favreau, who is set to write and exec produce an original, live-action scripted Star Wars TV series, revealed that his new show will be called The Mandalorian.
"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," Favreau shared in an post on his verified Instagram account.
Disney is developing multiple live-action Star Wars TV series for its upcoming streaming service, which is designed to rival Netflix. The platform will be the exclusive home for Marvel feature films and original series as well as Pixar and other Lucasfilm properties. So far, only Favreau's involvement in one of the Star Wars TV series has been revealed. Wednesday's announcement offers a closer look at just where the new Star Wars TV series fits in with the franchise.
For his part, Favreau is no stranger to the Star Wars universe. The actor-director played roles in Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series and in Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Guaranteed Boba Fett shows up and probably pops in from time to time.

Pedro Pascal plays the titular Mandalorian:

How much your willing to bet. That this Mandalorian character will turn up to be a good guy in the end? You usually have these type of characters that appear to be fighting on the other side. But then at some point. they switch sides and join the rebels. So we can probably expect this character to join the resistance at some point when some sort of betrayal happens.

If you look at Star Wars Rebels. There was a character who originally started out as a villain working for the empire. Then something happened to him that caused him to join the rebellion.

I wonder if episodes can eventually be bought off of Amazon. I don't have cable access (and I don't want to spend a wad just for one show) so I really hope it does.

I want to subscribe to Disney+, but it isn't available on my Sony 4k Player, under the Apps section.

I'm bummed, because my audio system is hooked up to my 4k player and not my tv.

Highly doubtful, beyond in physical form way down the line. Amazon Prime is a direct Disney+ competitor.

I said screw it and subscribed on Playstation.

Anyone having issues with the Ultra HD & HDR content? I tried plugging in for a wired connection, but when I select the HDR content, it is definitely not Ultra HD or HDR. Could be a launch issue...

*CyberCubed* · 11-13-2019, 01:43 PM

You don’t have to subscribe at all, I don’t have any online services and I watch whatever I’m interested in. I’ll probably wait till the whole season is over to watch this show, so I can binge it all on 1.5x speed in a lazy afternoon.

By what means? Torrents? I'm hoping this and Watchmen both get physical releases, because that encourages me to watch things.

*TurtleTitan97* · 10-31-2020, 03:41 PM

This episode gave me some major KOTOR flashbacks with the Krayt Dragon.

*CyberCubed* · 10-31-2020, 05:27 PM

I like the show but each episode feels like filler. It feels like I'm watching a videogame sidequest or something. Mando visits a new town, meets an NPC with a problem, has a "quest," where they drive to location, beat giant monster boss, Mando gets armor as a prize.

This whole show is a videogame disguised as a TV show.

~~AquaParade~~ · 11-01-2020, 10:13 AM

Something about the show just feels off to me. It has since the start. I'll need more time, but maybe I just find much of the acting to be weak. Not everyone, but most main cast members.

I'm still tuning in, because I love the sets, the costumes, the universe, etc.. hoping it will improve.

As a KOTOR fanatic, I absolutely loved how they brought the Krayt Dragon mission into the show. And Din handled it almost exactly the way Revan did. Then when they pulled the pearl... I was giddy.

I thought the Krayt design from the show was fine. I enjoyed everything about the episode. If I'm going to nit-pick, I'd say I would have liked to see the Krayt dragon resemble the one from the game more, simply for my own selfish fanboy side.

My thoughts exactly.

*CyberCubed* · 11-07-2020, 11:48 AM

The second ep was nice visually but pretty much another monster of the week episode with the giant spiders. I like the show visual/action wise but there really isn't much story outside a small handful of eps.

*sdp* · 11-07-2020, 12:33 PM

I hope they finally explain Boba/Jango being mandolorian or trained by mandolorian's or whatever. It's ridiculous how mandalorian's became a thing because of how popular Boba Fett was only for him to later be said "oh he wasn't mandolorian, he only stole the armor". This show will finally give Boba Fett a worthy backstory I hope. It's great seeing Temuera Morrison back, he should've gotten some screen time as a clone trooper in Episode III.

*TurtleTitan97* · 11-13-2020, 07:20 AM

So we finally got confirmation in the latest episode that Mando's tribe were a bunch of religious zealots, hence the helmet rule. And seeing Bo Katan in live action was awesome.

I'm guessing either the next episode or episode 5 is when we see Ahsoka.
