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.

A chance for Hayden to almost completely redeem the prequels, and himself.

I just put the teaser trailer in the Star Wars Repository thread, along with other teasers. This has far more potential than I had imagined.

It's going to be set at the end of The High Republic, which will be the first time we've seen any other era outside of the Skywalker saga.
The Republic stood for 1,000 years before the Empire, so we're going to see something like the last 100 years of the High Republic, when there were 10's of thousands of Jedi and no Sith, heh. [Reply]

The titular character will purportedly be a dark side acolyte rising to power. Something along the lines of Bane or Plagueis. [Reply]

Cool! Maybe we'll see Plagueis as an Apprentice... [Reply]

Oh yeah, this is supposed to be a "Female-centric" series but I don't know if that refers to the Acolyte or the Jedi or all of the above.
Good lord, I would absolutely love to see a character like Assaj Ventress in a Live Action series. [Reply]
