The Mandalorian (aka The Baby Yoda Show) is an American
streaming television series created by Jon Favreau for Disney+. It premiered
with the service's launch in November 2019, and is the first live-action series
in the Star Wars franchise. It begins five years after the events of Return of
the Jedi (1983) and stars Pedro Pascal as the title character, a lone bounty
hunter who is hired to retrieve "The Child" (fans named the child as
baby Yoda). Star Wars creator George Lucas began development on a live-action
Star Wars television series by 2009, but the project was deemed too expensive
to produce. After he sold Lucasfilm to Disney in October 2012, work on a new
Star Wars series began for Disney+. Favreau signed on in March 2018, serving as
writer and showrunner. He executive produces alongside Dave Filoni, Kathleen
Kennedy, and Colin Wilson. The series' title was announced in October 2018 with
the start of filming at Manhattan Beach Studios in California. Visual effects
company Industrial Light & Magic developed the StageCraft technology for
the series, using virtual sets and a 360-degree video wall to create the
series' environments. This has since been adopted by other film and television
productions. The Mandalorian premiered on Disney+ on November 12, 2019. The
eight-episode first season was met with positive reviews. It was nominated for
Outstanding Drama Series at the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards and won seven
Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards. A second season premiered on October 30,
2020, and development work on a third season has begun. This is the concept
arts for season 2, first episode ‘The Marshal’. Source :
