I saw a wild rumour that the story will be about the Mandalorians after ROTJ. Probably isn't true, but it's a neat premise.
For $100M, I sure hope the show is about something that appeals to more than a small corner of Wars fandom.
I wouldn't mind Mandalorians being touched upon, or even the inclusion of a Mandalorian character, but I wouldn't want the show to be about them.
There are supposedly rumors going around that the live action Disney Play series will start filming next week. I find this really hard to believe at this point. I know Disney tends to keep a tight hold on info these days, but if it was really that far along, I would think we would have heard more about it by now.
I actually asumed this show wasn't being made anymore, since they announced a while back they were taking it easy with Star Wars.
I believe he meant the movies, not the already-announced TV projects. Given Kennedy's very modest contract extension (only three years, with only Ep. IX and Indy 5 announced as movies that are definitely happening), it's possible he meant the top Disney brass would be making the next three years a retirement tour for her, and carefully supervising the next LFL leader as the post-Episode movies take shape. Or, it could mean they intend on supervising Kennedy more closely, to see whether they want to retain her post-2021.
We still need to see what films they intend to come out with in 2020 and 2021, since we only know of 2019's Episode IX for sure.
^ There almost certainly won't be a Star Wars movie released in 2020; we'd have heard about one being greenlit by now. I imagine Disney will want one in 2021, but that's speculation at this point.
First casting rumor-- Pedro Pascal as one of the leads? Also rumored, Dave Filioni will direct two episodes of the first season.
After all Disney has dealt with you think we'd have heard about it? I highly doubt it. Bob Iger is probably playing it closer to the vest.
