Star Wars: The Mandalorian
The Boba Fett 'Star Wars' movie isn't happening:
"This week Lucasfilm exec Kathleen Kennedy confirmed to reporter Erick Weber that a standalone Star Wars movie focusing on bounty hunter Boba Fett is no longer in development. While the project had never been officially announced, it was known to be a piece in the parade of "anthology" movies planned in the universe. As recently as June, there were reports that after Solo: A Star Wars Story underperformed at the box office, that projects may be "reconfigured." After going years and even decades between movie releases, an annual Star Wars release felt like a bit much. Instead, and perhaps more wisely, we'll soon see a TV series about a Fett-style character called The Mandalorian, that's in development for Disney's streaming service. So far The Mandalorian only has a single image and an interesting list of episode directors attached, but if Disney plans to compete with Netflix then this kind of story that's both familiar and all-new could pull subscribers in."

The Mandalorian: Exclusive footage revealed at Star
Wars Celebration Chicago: "No disintegrations. Fans at Star Wars Celebration Chicago got an exclusive look at The Mandalorian, the first live action Star Wars show, at a Sunday panel. While much of it was broadcast on the internet, two features were screened only for the audience that made it to Chicago. The Mandalorian will be released on the Disney Plus streaming service when the Netflix rival launches on Nov. 12, and Sunday's panel gave more information about the show since it was announced. Pedro Pascal (best known for playing Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones) will play the titular role and wear armor similar to that of classic character Boba Fett. The panel is still available to watch on the Star Wars YouTube channel, with exclusive footage blacked out, but we've got a full recap from the ground at Celebration Chicago."

The Mandalorian: Cast, trailer, plot, release date and
more Star Wars details: ""Bounty hunting is a complicated profession ... don't you agree?" Long-awaited live- action Star Wars series The Mandalorian is coming to the Disney Plus streaming service on Nov. 12, and the name has deep roots in the franchise's history, with links to the armor worn by bounty hunter Boba Fett. We got a trailer at Disney's biannual D23 convention, this weekend. The company whet our appetites Friday by tweeting a new poster showing the Mandalorian walking away from his ship, with a binary sunset and some Sandcrawlers in the background, on a planet that looks a lot like Tatooine. Pedro Pascal (best known for playing Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones) will take on the title role: a lone Mandalorian gunfighter operating in the outer reaches of the galaxy."

So on another website (Reddit), I saw the fanbase going insane for this. I looked at the trailer... and based on when its set, I was about impressed by this as I was by Solo- aka not at all. For those who might not know, this is set post- RotJ. Once again, Lucasfilm and Disney are taking what could be an excellent sci-fi space travel and battle series... and slapping the Star Wars name on it, when it doesn't feel like a Star Wars series. Granted, I'm just grumbling because there's a lack of Jedi and lightsabers so far, and considering what TFA did to the series, I suppose that gives the executives wiggle room for this.

My reaction was Blofeld Fett, he needs that white cat to complete the looks though.
