The director of Disney's upcoming Star Wars live-action TV series has revealed that the title will be The Mandalorian.
Director Jon Favreau who is also writing and the executive producer of the show, said on Instagram that "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".
Mandalorians live on the planet Mandalore in the Outer Rim territories, a warrior-like society famed and feared throughout the known galaxy.
Filming recently started on The Mandalorian which is basically set after the film Return of the Jedi.
The Star Wars drama series that so far has no broadcasting date, will be produced for Disney's to-be-launched streaming service in America, but will likely be available through foreign distribution from The Walt Disney Company for international broadcasters.
It means that Lucasfilm's Star Wars series might become available to broadcaster's like M-Net for possible pick-up in countries where Disney's streaming service won't have a presence, in the way that Netflix picked up Star Trek: Discovery from CBS All Access for outside the United States.
M-Net for instance acquired the rights to series from both Netflix and Amazon before those video streaming services made their debut in South Africa and Africa.
The Star Wars TV drama series will reportedly be more expensive than Game of Thrones, itself one of the most expensive TV productions ever.
According to Making Star Wars, a new rumor indicates The Mandalorian's first season will be eight episodes long, and also showing some long-lensed paparazzi set photos indicating a desert planet.
