THE MANDALORIAN, Disney+
That Instagram pic pretty much says it all folks. Looks like this ain’t Boba or Jango after all, but instead a new gunman for fans to froth over. I can see the new toys already…SOLD!
It’s also worth noting a TON of amazing talent will be sitting in the director’s chair for this new series including: Dave Filoni (STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS), Taika Waititi (THOR: RAGNAROK), Deborah Chow (JESSICA JONES), Rick Famuyiwa (DOPE), and Bryce Dallas Howard (JURASSIC WORLD).
STAR WARS: THE MANDALORIAN will be streaming on Disney+ (Disney’s new streaming service to compete with Netflix) sometime in 2019.
