Disney teases 'The Mandalorian' docuseries

Disney hopes to tide over Star Wars fans who love The Mandalorian over with a behind-the-scenes look at the show. An eight-episode docuseries called Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian will be premiering on Disney+ on Star Wars Day, a.k.a. May 4. We wrote a quick story on this series the other day, but now we get a look at the series through a new teaser. We see a roundtable discussion hosted by creator and executive producer Jon Favreau talking with the creatives and stars involved with the first season. While we can't say if the second season will be discussed in the show, it's giving us a good insight into what went into making the successful first season.

Disney+'s The Mandalorian will be coming back for its second season in October. It was one of the luckier shows that were able to wrap up production in early March, ahead of shelter-in-place orders came into effect. But now we learn that a month or so after season 2 wrapped up, pre-production for season 3 has already begun. Variety claims that sources close to creator Jon Favreau can confirm that he has been "writing season 3 for a while." The art department, which is led by Lucasfilm vice president and executive creative director Doug Chiang, has also reportedly started creating concepts for the third season "for the past few weeks."

Another source claimed that the production design department started working on the upcoming season on April 20 because the department requires "such a huge lead time" to explain why "the gears have started grinding really early on."

'Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes' adds 'The Mandalorian' characters

The Star Wars mobile role-playing game Star Wars: Galaxy Heroes is getting some new popular characters. Three members of The Mandalorian are going to be playable on the game soon. It will be adding Bounty Hunters Guild leader Greef Karga and former rebel shock trooper Cara Dune on April 22. Greef can assist with attacker-heavy Bounty Hunter squads, while Cara can be an "additional tank" for Rebel squads or become an "additional damage dealer" for Scoundrel teams. The beloved Mandalorian will be coming later at an unspecified date.

While Galaxy Heroes is your typical mobile RPG with character recruiting, turn-based battles, and in-game purchases, it's fun to get to play your favourite Star Wars characters. Now, we kind of wish Baby Yoda made an appearance, too.

May 4 is extra special to Star Wars fans. And now there's another reason for fans to get extra excited this coming May 4. An eight-episode documentary on the Star Wars series The Mandalorian will start streaming then. Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian comes from the show's producer Jon Favreau, and it gives us a look at behind-the-scenes footage, cast and crew interviews, and roundtable discussions with Favreau.

According to the press release, the docuseries will also shed light on the show's filmmaking process, its "groundbreaking technology," and the "artistry behind the show's practical models, effects, and creatures," among other things. Lucasfilm didn't say if we're getting a look at The Child's (a.k.a. Baby Yoda) lineage, but we're holding out hope that the series will shed some light on the beloved character's background. New episodes of the show will be available every Friday on Disney+.
