There's been a lot of speculation about The Mandalorian since it was first announced but things are finally starting to become a little clearer, because Disney has officially revealed the cast of the Star Wars show that will premiere on the Disney+ streaming service. 

We now know that Pedro Pascal (Narcos) has indeed been cast in the title role as a lone Mandalorian gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy. He is joined by Gina Carano (Deadpool), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Emily Swallow (Supernatural), Carl Weathers (Predator), Omid Abtahi (American Gods), Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man) and Nick Nolte (Affliction).

That's quite a roster of talent, eh? 
 
"We’re having a great time working with this incredibly talented group and excited for everyone to see what we’re up to," said Executive Producer Jon Favreau in a statement today.
 
The Mandalorian is written and executive produced by Jon Favreau, with Dave Filoni (Star Wars Rebels) directing the first episode and serving as executive producer alongside Kathleen Kennedy and Colin Wilson. Additional episodic directors include Deborah Chow (Jessica Jones), Rick Famuyiwa (Dope), Bryce Dallas Howard (Solemates), and Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok).
 
According to The Hollywood Reporter's Borys Kit, "Sources tell me the story is set about 5 years after the events of Return of the Jedi and is set in the Outer Rim, where people don't know and don't care that the Empire has fallen. Gives them latitude in telling certain stories." Sounds good, right? As always, share your thoughts below and stay tuned for updates.

@MixedAquaPorg - Holy shit, a Pitch GIF. Pretty sure I'm the only person in the world who loved that show. Kylie Bunbury is so hot. Perfect Storm, pun intended.

Carl Weathers has died in so many movies that I thought he was ACTUALLY dead.

Smh

I am looking forward to this, but I don't understand why SW is moving away from telling jedi stories. SW without the force feels like GOTG without a soundtrack.

@mikeburnsiv -
For real. The Force, Jedi, and Sith were always the most interesting part of Star Wars to me. Without it it’s just generic sci-fi

Of all the loosely tied, franchise spin-off bullshit quality shows, this one looks like a glimmer of hope, not only for that realm, but for this franchise that is sinking into the dirt more and more with each passing month. Star Wars really needs a win. This or Episode 9 needs to do some major work, fingers crossed.

@SpideyPuffsMJ - Episode 9 would have to Superman-kiss everyone who saw TLJ and figure out literally any other reason Luke was on that planet.

Werner Herzog? That's a name I haven't heard in forever.

I'm also really intrigued to find out who Carl Weathers is playing.

They should have the Mandalorian ride a Faithier like a cowboy...to tie it in with the Last Jedi!

@Forthas - It was during this exact scene that I wanted to walk out of the theater. Felt like I was being kicked in the gut. What a terrible movie.

@Super12 - I really enjoyed the movie but that whole scene was such a waste of air and such a filler. So damn stupid.

Forthas - 12/12/2018, 1:00 PM
@Super12 - I was trying to figure out where they were going with it. It turns out it was nowhere!

@Forthas - The most pointless scene in any star wars films. And yes I'm aware of the Trade Federation crap lol
