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.

That was my thought as well, also fits perfectly with the Mando's distrust of droids, especially that droid in respect to BY. Then the droid is the one who saves them all in the end. [Reply]

The droid would have to fly the ship over to the town to do it, he's not catching two Storm Troopers on speeders any other way. [Reply]

All very true. Which is the point, BTW.
Also, this show is good, not great. I keep feeling like it's missing something and could be a bit better. Honestly, I think it's due to relatively short episodes. [Reply]

It’s a western set in space. It’s obvious they never intended it to have some deep ‘Game of Thrones’ type narrative and that’s ok.

I dig it a lot.
Been saying its a western in space since the original film.
There is a you tube out there that compares the Mandolorian shots with classic western scenes. It is definitely on purpose ala the way Tarantino does in his movies. Wonder if Favreau is a fan of Tarantino? [Reply]

Yep, they've set a perfect tone for this series. It may not be "prestige television" or what most have come to define as that over the past few decades, but it knows exactly what it is and it is succeeding at that. [Reply]
