Well if it sucks we always have the “failure” clip from “The Mandalre Plot.”

Kidding aside though, I am a fan of Favreau so this is definitely a good sign for me. He’s able to do a variety of genres and quite adeptly. The only thing from him I don’t like is Iron Man 2, but I blame that on the studio.

Looks like there will be several Star Wars TV series running at the same time... If these series are better than Rebels I won't mind too much. But at some point it seems like there is going to be way too much Star Wars content. Now, if it's really good that's fine... but so far it hasn't been. Disney should start focusing on quality instead of quantity... but I know they won't as long as Star Wars sells (same applies to Marvel).

The fact that they want Star Wars to replicate Marvel shows how little they understand about either franchise.

Y’know, what if (since all these “Star Wars Stories” were set during the same time and following a similar set of characters) they had just made their live action TV Show set during between ROTS and ANH and then had it star Han, Obi-Wan, Lando, Boba, etc.

Yet that would've been pretty cool and given room for bolder anthologies.

Like TCW straight up showed everyone but for Rebels they had to make all new characters and existing ones only got cameos. I think this applies to other tv shows as well like I remember thinking during agents of shield why they didn't just make a show about iron man or something instead of just namedropping him

The problem comes when these characters are so thinly written and uninteresting that we rather would have seen what existing characters are up to.

Oh yeah I saw this yesterday, apparently Pedro Pascal, aka Oberyn/ The Red Viper from GoT is rumored to be the lead.

Could've just made it about Boba Fett.. But Pedro Pascal is cool

Don't like the era for this. If it is more about the underworld we are missing out on a lot of cool characters from the Clone Wars era.

I like a lot of the underworld characters from the Clone Wars era, but we can't latch onto just those ones if we want Star Wars to keep expanding. Also that area had so much content in it already, it's nice to break away from it. It'll be interesting to see if they bring Boba Fett back for this show.

Time for some new stuff plus characters from the OT will probably be in this like the ESB hunters and maybe Boba. I mean most of those Clone Wars characters didn’t exist before TCW, gotta give stuff a chance to expand. Half of the Solo crew was new

Considering it's just about one, lone gunslinger Mandalorian based after 6, why not use Boba instead? Just feels like this this new guy will feel like some expy. It would've been cooler and more interesting if it was more about Mandalorians plural than just one. Still, this might end up being one of the positives to come out of Disney's era. Nevertheless I wish I could feel more hyped for this.

Nevertheless I wish I could feel more hyped for this. I see what you're saying, but I think that there'd be a lot of criticism if the show was centered around Boba versus branching out. We don't really know enough yet to determine if this Mandalorian will be a Boba Fett rip-off or someone more complex, as TCW showed was possible. Boba isn't canonically confirmed as dead either, so it's likely he'll show up at some point. Also, if this show explores other bounty hunters both new and from the OT era, that could make it even more interesting for a non-Boba Mandalorian to be the main focus.

I'm not saying Boba should be the lead, I'm saying that all we've gotten so far from this this new guy feels a lot like very old, familiar ground. It would ease a lot of the concern if it centred on a group of them than just one. Hell, the idea of a show being heavily based on Mandalore and its culture sounds like a pretty winning formula. I don't know, maybe I'm jumping the gun with a single photo and minor details for reference, but so far I'm a bit sceptical.

Did Rebels kill of Bo-Katan? If not I am expecting a cameo from her.

I remember that plot line about some guy killing Boba and assuming his identity or something... That would be interesting

It's cool that they're exploring the underworld with this though. I think the best underworld time period is after order 66 but I guess it doesn't really matter since not too much would've changed. Just would've been nice to see stormtroopers though... But maybe we will. There could be stories about power struggles in the galaxy after the death of the emperor

Maybe not that but I think something similar was a rumored plot point for the Boba movie
