Star Wars : The Mandalorian (Disney+ 2019)

[epilogue]

I’m not 100% on their thread / lore but The whole mando thing seems to be done and dealt with in the siege of Mandalore, which is coming in this new CW season it seems.

I don’t see how they have a place or worthwhile story to tell post ROTJ. Why weren’t they called on and employed either by the empire or rebellion in that last days leading up to battle of endor?

If this wasn’t msw reporting this rumour I’d call it click bait but even jason from msw is saying it sounds a little too out there and unlikely.

There's a lot of bad blood history with the Mandolorians and both The Empire and The Jedi. Not everyone has to take sides. I think it would be easy to explain and fun to further explore your very question about why they weren't involved.

Rumours abound that this series is in fact based around the god awful mandolorians.
This though

Looks kinda like a Tatooine docking bay.

They suck on my galaxy and my laptop too. I think they're just shitty, overstuffed websites. Too much worthless junk.

The pictures are kinda lame too.

We have "Non-descript arches #1."


"Blurry Director"


"Lumber"


"Large Rock-like Mass Amongst Packing Containers"


OMFG! I'm so excited!

[blueviper]

With this being TV, I get the feeling most of the stories/plots/action will happen in a few places, to keep costs down for building sets.

I can't imagine watching a SW show that mostly takes place in a hangar all the time.

I don't know how well the SW way of doing things will translate to a tv show. *shrug*

I guess we'll find out.

[dimejinky99]

Werner Herzog? Dave Filoni? Alan Taylor ?? Wtf???

[epilogue]

I'm all for Filoni directing. But it seems weird that Favreau wouldn't be directing the premiere. I think that report makes more sense but I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Streamlined to only 8 episodes!
That’s the part I’m not buying. Unless this was agreed ages ago.
Disney will want to make this new streaming platform a serious contender.
8 episodes won’t do that.
Unless there is follow up series of there is one or they have other series in the pipes.
But it’s easier to grow an audience with one story over several series than confuse the audience with mulitiple series.
Anyone remember ‘where’s Rey?’ In the whole rogue one thing from the gen pop?

I would think streamlining to 8 episodes is a good thing. Less chance you get a filler episode.

Yeah, I'll take quality of quantity any day.

[epilogue]

Ditto

8 sounds perfect.

[dimejinky99]

I guess so. Seems like an odd move though. Business wise.

[epilogue]

Reports everywhere are saying the title of the show is Star Wars: The Mandalorian.

[Monkey_Driven]

I'm significantly less interested now.

[dimejinky99]

Oh really?

The mandos are insanely popular but sadly I never got it. They’re klingons with jet packs
