Catch Up on the Intergalactic Dirt Before The Mandalorian Premieres on Disney+ This Fall

Jon Favreau, the executive producer, is directing the first episode; having plenty of experience with Disney after directing Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Jungle Book, and 2019's huge live-action remake of The Lion King. Favreau will team up with Dave Filoni, who worked on Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. Kathleen Kennedy and Colin Wilson are also executive producers!

As for the rest of the episodes? Disney has tapped all kinds of talent. Deborah Chow (Jessica Jones), Bryce Dallas Howard, and Dope's Rick Famuyiwa will direct additional episodes in the series.
