“The Mandalorian,” the newest gunfighter in the “Star Wars” galaxy, gets his own live-action series this fall. Sunday at Star Wars Celebration in Chicago, series creator Jon Favreau debuted footage to thousands of screaming “Star Wars” fans.
Favreau, joined by “Star Wars” animation veteran Dave Filoni, who makes his live-action directing debut and also acts as executive producer, described “The Mandalorian” as taking place in a time when only the strong survive amid rampant chaos in the galaxy. “Yes,” agreed Filoni with a grin. “The show brings the space-western emphasis back to “Star Wars,” taking inspiration from the original trilogy’s influences and “getting back to the roots of what inspired George,” said Favreau.
Standing ovations greeted stars Pascal, Carano and Weathers as they took the stage to see footage for the first time themselves.“The Mandalorian is a mysterious lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy. … Some might say he has questionable moral character,” Pascal hinted, struggling to describe his character without spilling top-secret details. “And he’s a badass.”
Weathers plays a member of the bounty hunter community named Greef, who connects the Mandalorian with a shady client played by Herzog. “The Mando is a guy he figures can get the job done,” said the actor, “and the Mando does what needs to be done.” Old-school animatronics and puppetry, practical effects and a grime-covered look lend the footage a gritty, analog feel, even while the production utilizes cutting-edge effects and 3-D printed scale models to bring the story to life.
