It has been a long time coming
A potential live action
Star Wars TV series has been in the works for a long, long time. There have been various animated shows, including
Ewoks and
Droids in the 1980s, and
The Clone Wars and
Rebels more recently.
But the idea of a live action show was first mooted in 2010, but Disney’s acquisition of LucasFilm in 2013 put any previous plans on hold. Finally, in 2017, it was announced that a show would be developed for Disney’s upcoming streaming service. And in March, it was confirmed that
Iron Man, Elf and
The Jungle Book director Jon Favreau would write and executive produce it.
Any other details were strictly confidential, like any upcoming
Star Wars news in. But now
we finally have a title, and a synopsis.
The show will be called
The Mandalorian, and the full plot description reads:
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....
