Jon Favreau’s new Star Wars streaming series will be called “The Mandalorian”
We’ve known for months now that Jon Favreau was working on a live-action Star Wars series for Disney’s upcoming streaming service. But that’s about all we knew.
Until now! Favreau just dropped a few huge details out of nowhere.

Since it was announced in March that Iron Man director Jon Favreau was developing a live-action Star Wars TV show set after the events of Return of the Jedi, fans have been speculating as to its subject.
Well, wonder no more. Favreau took to Facebook Wednesday to announce the name of the upcoming series: The Mandalorian. (Unusually for Lucasfilm, the announcement was not immediately posted on StarWars.com — but the fact that Lucasfilm employees are liking the post on Facebook suggests it’s 100% legit.)
Here’s what that means for the more casual fan: We’re going to get a lot of characters dressed like Boba Fett.

Jon Favreau is the next white guy headed to a galaxy far, far away.
Lucasfilm has just announced that Favreau will write and executive produce the as-yet-untitled live-action Star Wars series. Details are scarce, but you knew that already – details are always scarce with these Star Wars projects.
No premiere date has been announced, but we do know the show will debut on Disney’s direct-to-consumer platform – think of how Star Trek Discovery helped launch CBS All Access.
Favreau’s been a Disney favorite for a while. He helped kick off the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Iron Man and Iron Man 2, and his “live-action” remake of The Jungle Book was such a hit that he’s doing the same thing for The Lion King, due out in 2019. Read more…
