Disney+. I feel like I got my $5.99 worth just with the first Mandalorian episode.
Jon Favreau needs to direct all the Star Wars things. I felt like Mandalorian was the mash up of the best things about Star Wars with the best things about the spaghetti westerns.
And I audibly gasped at the end of the episode (foregoing spoilers at this point).

(4,919 posts)1. What is the time frame for this?
Did I hear post Empire (after Return of the Jedi)?

(5,170 posts)2. Yes. Post Empire
From an interview I read with Favreau, he said it is five years after Return of the Jedi and 25 years before the rise of the First Order.
So it's lawless chaos.

The Clone Wars/Rebels/Resistance guy. It was his first time directing live action, and he nailed it IMO. His animated stuff was great and this has the same feel to it.
