Here's your first look at 'The Mandalorian'

If you weren't at the Star Wars Celebration, then you wouldn't have seen this trailer. But now, Disney and Lucasfilm just released to the public the first trailer for Jon Favreau's Star Wars series: The Mandalorian. There aren't many words exchanged in the trailer, but we see a lot of fighting spaceships, battling droids, and grittier action than we usually see in a traditional Star Wars film. The feel of the trailer is in line with Favreau's goal to bring a "darker, freakier side of Star Wars" to the public.

Boba Fett and his father, Jango, inspire this series. Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones) steps in as the new Mandalorian. The story helps fill in the gap between Return of the Jedi and right after the fall of the Empire and the rise of the First Order. It answers questions of what happened on Tatooine during the time between the trilogies. The Mandalorian is going to be the first Star Wars live-action TV series, and one of the main pulls to get people to subscribe to Disney+.
