‘Star Wars’: What is Jon Favreau’s ‘The Mandalorian’?

On Wednesday, director Jon Favreau revealed details from his upcoming Star Wars TV series, titled The Mandalorian, for Disney’s forthcoming streaming service.

Favreau described the series thusly: “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.”

As expected, three sentences (typed in yellow font on a black background) was all it took for Star Wars fans across the galaxy to fervently speculate further details about the upcoming series.
