Kinda sucks in a way as he died in Rogue One.

Pedro Pascal...of Game of Thrones as Oberyn Martell/The Viper fame. He was also in Narcos. is awesome, big fan here.

A variety of info about the show was shared at the SW Celebration panel:

Disney wants to scale back on the amount of Star Wars content for fear of over saturation..... so they plan on hours and hours of television shows for their streaming channel.

I'd be more excited if both of these were films. I just prefer the cinematic storytelling format of one and done over television writing patterns, peaks and valleys funneling to a season finale.

"That was a good episode!"
"Eh, that one wasn't so good"
"That was a GREAT one!"
"Ewww that was a stinker"
"I don't quite get where they're going with this show"
"Meh... the season finale was okay but..."

Just tell me a concise story in 2 hours and I'm happy.

I believe they said Pedro Pascal was cast as the lead. so I would assume that is him in the mandalorian armor

Very interesting...I liked Rogue One quite a lot, this could be good?

But what if she's involved with a Star Wars project that you end up enjoying? Or is your enjoyment predicated on her involvement despite what ends up on the screen?

I'm not ruling out giving future Star Wars projects a chance(even have Han Solo on my Netflix DVD list), but I'm watching very closely to see how much influence she has on said Projects. And believe me...it's not hard to spot her handiwork.

As long as she's involved...Star Wars is dead "to me."

Kathleen Kennedy has had involvement in

ET, Poltergeist, Temple of Doom, Back to the Future, Goonies, and Jurassic Park to name just a few. I’d be glad to have her producing my show given the box office and Oscar nods she’s been associated with.

That was before she was put in charge of Lucas Film and given to much CONTROL and started pushing her own personal agenda. As long as she's involved...Star Wars is dead "to me." If other people don't mind her personal politics crammed down their throats, then hey good for them...but it's not for me. By her own admission...she's not making Star Wars for the "male fans" anyway..."The Force is Female!"

A closer look at a cool rifle from the series:




Slightly reminiscent of Boba Fett's weapon from The Star Wars Holiday Special:
