Surprised nobody has started talking about this yet.



The Mandalorian: what to expect from the Star Wars TV show

The New York Times reports that Disney is plumbing $100 million into the series, with The Mandalorian intended as a lightning rod that can lure Star Wars fans onto the new Disney streaming service that will launch in 2019. This is certainly a power move from the Mouse House, which will expand the Star Wars universe in a way that George Lucas never quite managed to do. (Although Lucas planned out a series named Underworld in great detail, it was never produced.)

I'm excited. I was already going to get the streaming service for Clone Wars before this was announced. The list of directors really has me interested, especially with Filoni directing at least the first episode. Considering how much of canon Mandalorians came from him (or he was at least a part of along with Lucas in TCW), he's the perfect guy to start it off.

Stoked for live action Star Wars, and the Space Western aspect seem great. I hate the Mandalorian lore though, so I'm hoping that's pretty much only in the title and doesn't infest the plot of the series. The Mandalorians and the Jedi mysticism are two of my least favorite parts of Star Wars and why I can't fully embrace Filoni.

Clone Wars will be on Netflix.

I'm excited - hopefully Pascal does play the main character.

 

[MadDevil]

Clone Wars will be on Netflix.

I'm pretty sure the new season will be on their streaming service, unless I missed an announcement somewhere. Not sure about the seasons already on Netflix though.

I may be midremembering the announcement. I thought they said the new season would be on Netflix, but the links I can find now don't state anything definitively.

Pedro Pascal cast as the lead.

‘Star Wars’: Pedro Pascal to Lead ‘The Mandalorian’ Series

Pedro is one of my favorite (newer) actors so I'm fully on board for this.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Since Disney+ will become my new Netflix, of course I'll watch all the Marvel and Star Wars content on it.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Anyone else keeping up with the news and rumors? Can't wait for this series.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

I'm just kinda burned out on Star Wars. It's just been a long time since I've been satisfied with anything Stars Wars-related, and that was with Clone Wars, which was a cartoon surprisingly. Just over it. Over all of the hype all the time.

I haven't seen much in the way of marketing or anything, so I have nothing to really react to.

Just some Instagram posts from Favreau and some Disney updates. And then there's rumor sites. I think it's coming out in November.

 

[LarKing]

Looks fun. I’ll definitely be watching.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

There's a live stream right now. I'm assuming a trailer or teaser will come with it, but I've got a hockey game to watch...

Carl Weathers!

Link to that stream:

Awww damn it, they show footage but the stream was blacked out!

 

[Do Make Say Think]

This sounds like they understand what they need to do: set up the universe of the sequel trilogy. They should have done this before making The Force Awakens but hey, they can still use this set up for Rian Johnson's trilogy.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

I got to see part of the footage. Looks good!

That was George Lucas in that clip right? What is his capacity? I looked on IMDB and just has this as based on his characters

I think he was just there as a general consultant. He's pretty close with Dave Filoni.

Thanks, looks like Lucas will be officially involved in upcoming Star Wars including Underworld which is mentioned in the OP

 

[Rpenny]

I like the Clint Eastwood attitude

 

[Burnoutboi]

I'm shocked, I've never heard Pedro Pascals' real ( lack of an ) accent. Damn.

This show looks like it's going to be solid. As long as there's no Sabrewhips I'm in.

 

[NyQuil]

Looks better than any of the recent films.
