Game of Thrones’ and Narcos’ Pedro Pascal is rumored to be playing the title character but nothing’s been confirmed yet.

Sorry if this is a repeat. If there’s an already existing thread for this (I assume there is but nothing came up in the search), please merge. Thank you.

Series directors include Dave Filoni, Deborah Chow (Jessica Jones), Rick Famuyiwa (the underrated Dope), Bryce Dallas Howard and Taika Waititi.

Just sayin’... they better be playing Hutts.

This looks more promising than the movies. Good scoop Saunch

For me, when the Ewoks first appeared onscreen the franchise never was the same. They put marketing toys to kids ahead of storytelling. Hoping this series doesnt follow suit.

Taika Waititi Voicing IG-88
IG-88 is one of the hunters that Darth Vader dispatches to help find the Millennium Falcon.

bad quality phone cam, 'leak' The Mandalorian Teaser Trailer

That looks great, but who is getting Disney + ? Episodic release as well. There's too much content already.

I guess this version isn't getting taken down, since it's been up a few months.

Looks great.

Looks better and more inspired than the Star Wars spinoffs that's for damn sure

Caught the first episode. Was pretty good. Definitely more Rogue One than TLJ. Didn't blow me away, but will probably continue watching.

This was my favorite scene by far:

Allot of the Youtube lovers of the Last Jedi and Force Awakens dont seem fond of the First Episode. Some even said it validates why Dave Filoni should not run Lucasfilm.


What does directing anything have to do with Running Lucasfilm as a creative stand point. Filoni is perfect for creating things. Directing SW has nothing to do with the other job. I liked what Dave Filoni and Favrou have Started here.


Make no mistake Filoni and Favour likely created the story for the whole season well the outline and likely Season 2.

They are upset with the lack of female characters. It's daft how plot or story has almost become secondary to some over virtue signalling.

I watched both the episodes and found them to be interesting. It comes across as a space western. Not as great as Firefly, which is the best space western I can think of, but Mandalorian is intriguing enough. And it's definitely better than Force Awakens and Last Jedi.

The only thing interesting about all this is Werner Herzog words for Variety. I guess not everyone in that business is a hypocrite.



As well as Jim Jarmusch he never saw Star Wars, neither did I, neither plan on.

Only 15 minutes in to the first episode and already feel this is what episodes 7-9 should have been like.

Really liked the first two episodes. I'm sure they will screw this show, but for now, it's all good!
