Jon Favreau himself doesn't direct?

Jon Favreau himself doesn't direct?

He's writing and executive producing. I don't know whether he's hands on enough to be called the "showrunner", given his commitments to the CG Lion King remake, but if not then he's like the Dick Wolf of this thing. His fingerprints will be all over it, even though he's not the person actually yelling "Action" on set.

Another pic from Lucas's visit:

I can't help but imagine all the directors working on these new Star Wars projects talking with Lucas about the whole toxic fandom and alt-right trolling garbage they now have to deal with, while Lucas just stands there and nods with a gentle smile on his face, while inside his head he pictures himself laughing while running naked through a flower field while "Freebird" plays constantly...that, or the sound of Boss Nass motorboating.

I bet that's the last thing on their mind and there is no way they are going to discuss that with Lucas.

Imagine you have the chance of your life meeting George Lucas. Are you going to waste it on discussing bad and irrelevant things or are you going to talk about good and interesting things?

Now this is the kind of move that gets my attention:

Nick Nolte joins Star Wars TV series The Mandalorian

"Aw...hell! I ain’t going to 'nother goddamn planet! Back in the day, I'd hop from junior college to junior college, playing ball 'till they caught on, and Jimmy, you know, Jimmy? He had this scheme selling draft cards and I'm coming down the 101 with a truckload of whiskey when I get a call from Hal Ashby...but hell! I ain't got no goddamn time for some planet with a whole 'nother goddamn ecosystem, like with Marty, Marty is a New York guy..."

‘The Mandalorian’ Cast Revealed: Carl Weathers, Werner Herzog, Giancarlo Esposito & More

After weeks of tidbits and rumors here and there as production on the live-action Star Wars series The Mandalorian was underway in Southern California, Lucasfilm has finally announced the impressive cast of the Disney+ series in its entirety.

 

[joshEH]

Damn. What a cast.

Forget the show, I can't wait for the press tour to hear Nolte and Herzog growl and pontificate about the star war.

Carl Weathers:

"Did you know this cantina has unlimited refills on blue milk?"

 

[SamT]

The cast is HUGE. Unbelievable.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

Werner Herzog being in the supporting cast for this just blows my mind.

Werner Herzog being in the supporting cast for this just blows my mind.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who remembers his equally mind blowing guest spot on Parks And Recreation.

Herzog is either totally crazy or he has a sense of humor about his public persona. I'm rooting for totally crazy.

 

[Carabimero]

I'm rooting for good writing. This cast deserves stellar writing, IMO.

 

[Sam Favate]

In addition to that great cast, it seems we can count on some familiar faces in The Mandalorian.

Classic Star Wars bounty hunters will appear in Star Wars: The Mandalorian!

Dengar or I boycott!

Errrrr...looks like Nolte's playing an Ugnaught!

Per Slashfilm: "Nolte will only provide 'the voice and facial movements for the character via a new state-of-the-art animatronic mask'."

He's done it before!

Also, Ludwig Göransson is scoring the show. I can dig it.

Pop-pop.

Can you imagine the conversation where they told him that he's playing an Ugnaught?

 

[John*Wells]

Am I Correct in assuming that Solo was also the Lando Movie? Or is it possible we will see a separate Lando film?

 

[joshEH]

Very cool. Looks steampunk A.F.

I like that they didn't feel the need to "cool" him up with some massive redesign, but I wonder how a design meant to be seen for all of a few seconds in a single scene in one film is going to play as an ongoing character on a TV show. I guess they could take a page out of the IG-88 confrontation in the Shadows of the Empire video game, where he's very fast and stealthy.

They've shown they can do droids that are versatile, fast, and with great personalities in both Rogue One and Solo. But I think "slow, lumbering, mute, Terminator-esque death machine" would fit IG-88 better. Who wants to see that coming at you down an alley, taking hits and just shrugging them off?

I dig it.
