We are just hours away from the launch of Disney+ and the release of the world’s first live-action Star Wars TV series, The Mandalorian. Tonight, Disney is going the extra mile on every media platform they control to make sure you know what’s coming. If you were just watching Monday Night Football, you were treated to a clip from the first episode of The Mandalorian along with a mini-trailer featuring a lot of new footage. As divided as fans seem to be on The Rise of Skywalker, it looks like nearly everyone is in agreement that The Mandalorian looks bad-ass.
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.
And here’s more on Disney+:
Launching on November 12, 2019, Disney+ will be the dedicated streaming home for movies and shows from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and more, together, for the first time.
