Star Wars didn't have a huge presence at San Diego Comic-Con this month and while a sneak peek of The Mandalorian will be shown during the Disney+ panel at D23 Expo in August, executive producer/writer Jon Favreau has shared a brief status update on the progress of the upcoming series.

Favreau announced that scoring on the first season of the live-action Star Wars series has begun. The announcement was accompanied by an impressive doodle by Dave Filoni, who directed the first episode of the series (and has also worked on Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels).

Favreau previously confirmed that IG-88 will be making an appearance in The Mandalorian. The character was shown briefly in The Empire Strikes Back alongside fellow bounty hunters Boba Fett, Dengar, Bossk, Zuckuss, and 4-LOM. It's unclear how large of a role he'll have in the series.

The Mandalorian was officially unveiled to fans at Star Wars Celebration Chicago but the footage was never formally released to fans online. Although a sneak peek of the show will be shared at D23, it's unknown if that footage will be released outside of the panel. But withThe Mandalorian set to premiere in November with the launch of the Disney+ streaming service, we should get some sort of official trailer soon.

The only downside of these Disney shows is that they sadly don’t all drop at once, I can’t handle the slow burn anymore give me quick and dirty lol

@Ha1frican - Exactly. It's being treated like regular television when streaming services like that don't really need it.

HYPE! Everything about this show looks great.

It’s going to be a helluva time to be a Star Wars fan this fall/winter.

Will there be banthas or not?
That is the most important question.

JohnnyStorm - 7/28/2019, 8:32 PM

I'm really looking forward to this. I personally can dig alot of shit Favreau is involved in. I hope Boba Fett is included in this in some capacity.

Timerider84 - 7/28/2019, 8:48 PM

I think Boba Fett will be mentioned in this, but more than likely he died at the Sarlaac Pit.

Michael Giacchino should do the score for everything lol
