Star Wars fans hoping to learn more about Jon Favreau's upcoming series, The Mandalorian, will want to be on the lookout next month as more details about the series will presumably be coming out of Star Wars Celebration Chicago.

Lucasfilm has confirmed that executive producer and writer Jon Favreau will appear alongside fellow executive producer and director Dave Filoni, in a "special panel discussion" for the upcoming world. The announcement steered clear of specifics, teasing only that we'll "learn about the perilous world of The Mandalorian."

Whether or not that means we'll get our first look at series in the form of a trailer, behind-the-scenes video, concept art, or just general details from the two producers remains to be seen.

In any case, the panel will be held on Sunday, April 14 at 11:00 a.m. live on the Celebration stage. Hopefully, it will be live-streamed for the masses to enjoy at home.

The Mandalorian stars Pedro Pascal in the title role as the lone Mandalorian gunfighter. He's surrounded by an impressive cast that includes Gina Carano (Deadpool), Carl Weathers (Predator), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Emily Swallow (Supernatural), Omid Abtahi (American Gods), Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man), and Nick Nolte (Warrior). It was also reported this past week that Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi may be lending his voice for the droid bounty hunter IG-88.

After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.

Episodes of The Mandalorian will be directed by Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels), Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok), Deborah Chow (Jessica Jones), Rick Famuyiwa (Dope) and Bryce Dallas Howard (Solemates).

The Mandalorian does not yet have a premiere date, but the series will be exclusive to Disney+, the company's streaming service which is set to launch in late 2019.

I'd actually love for Dave Filoni to take over as Lucasfilm President. He could be the Feige of the Star Wars universe.

So incredibly excited for this show. Marvel owns the first half of this year but the second half is all Star Wars.

Is he voicing IG-88 or IG-11? There's like 2 different reports. What's the official word on that? Does anyone know?

I think The Mandalorian will be based off Cobb Vanth who exists in the expanded universe. A rogue who was imprisoned by Jabba, and when Jabba died, who erred in the desert, found a dead Mandalorian, stole his armor and decided to become a hero and put an end to the Tatooine mob. A really cool story, not very detailed yet, but that would be my guess. A man who pretends to be a Mandalorian so he could strike fear in the heart of crime syndicates, and ends up living up to his stolen name.

@Asturgis - I’m not familiar with the source material, but that sounds like a good plot/premise.

@Rosraf - It's actually still canon, you can see him in… Aftermath, I think? Which is terrible, so maybe don't lol
