Cape Town – The director of Disney's upcoming Star Wars live-action TV series has revealed that the title will be The Mandalorian.
Director Jon Favreau who is the writer and the executive producer of the show, said on Instagram: "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".
