"Bounty hunting is a complicated profession, don't you agree," is a line in the tease as Lucasfilm reveals the first trailer of The Mandalorian. The production house behind the Star Wars franchise took the centre stage at the D23 Expo and dropped the intense trailer of the first Star Wars live-action series that is set to debut on Disney Plus platform. The show follows the journey of a lone bounty hunter, played by Pedro Pascal and the first trailer has just teased how truly dark and intensive The Mandalorian will truly be. 

Written by Iron Man star and The Lion King director Jon Favreau, the promo doesn't show Pascal as such. Neither does it reveal many details about the plot as such. However, Favreau has confirmed the show takes place between the events of Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and Episode VII: The Force Awakens. As per Luke Skywalker’s story, Rebels destroy the Galactic Empire, paving the way to the New Republic. He said it follows "a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy." 

Apart from Pascal, the series also stars Gina Carano, Nick Nolte, Giancarlo Esposito, Emily Swallow, Carl Weathers and Omid Abtahi. Check out the trailer below: 


Talking about the show at the expo, Favreau said, "When I got to know Disney+ would be home to Star Wars, I came in and pitched Kathleen Kennedy a version of a show that took place — after Return of the Jedi, after the revolution, after everybody is done celebrating because the Empire is gone. And then chaos reigns, because there’s no central government in the galaxy, so it degrades into, like the old Samurais and the old Westerns, where the gunfighters are roaming and people are fighting for their own safety and trying to build safe communities. It’s a dangerous world.”

The Mandalorian will debut on November 12 on Disney+. What a great time to be a Star Wars fan.
