Star Wars Is About to Score Big on Tv With Live-action Series the Mandalorian, No Disintegrations Necessary. Jordan Farley Got a Sneak Peek at This Year’s Star Wars Celebration
POP QUIZ: HOW MANY LINES DOES BOBA Fett have in The Empire Strikes Back? if you said “four”, give yourself a pat on the back. Few characters in cinema history have made a bigger impression with such minimal screentime for no reason other than the fact they look really flippin’ cool. so it comes as little surprise that lucasfilm’s first ever live-action Star Wars series, set to debut on new streaming service disney+ later this year, should centre on a mandalorian’s (mis)adventures through the galaxy.
Played by Game Of Thrones’ Red Viper, pedro pascal, the eponymous mandalorian has the potential to be every bit as enigmatic and charismatic as Star Wars’ most notorious bounty hunter. he even has one over Boba Fett in the mysterious stakes – no one even knows his name. no one except Jon Favreau and dave Filoni, we imagine. The Iron Man director (and voice of mandalorian pre Vizsla on The Clone Wars) serves as showrunner and writer after pitching the idea of a series based on his favourite characters to Kathleen Kennedy. Filoni, meanwhile, has written an episode, and is making his live-action directorial debut on the show.
The pair were in attendance for the Mandalorian panel at star wars Celebration where, for the first time, fans in attendance got a glimpse of the mandalorian in action. set five years after Return Of The Jedi, among “the smugglers and the underworld, the scum and villainy”, the fall of the empire and collapse of their iron rule on the galaxy has led to lawless chaos. incorporating elements from the “original trilogy, the prequels, the sequels, the Clone wars”, The Mandalorian will also “pull stuff in from legends”, and reestablish them as canon.
