If you were part of the fandom that didn`t welcome the latest series of Star Wars live-action movies, the first official trailer for John Favreau`s Disney+ bound `The Mandolorian` might just change your mind.
Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones, Narcos) takes on the legendary suit of armor Mandolorian and goes out on a bounty-hunting expedition in a galaxy far, far away. The trailer opens with helmets of fallen Storm Troopers. `The Mandalorian` searches for his prey in a landscape now in ruins.
We also see a lot of gunslinging and heavy-duty chases, with Werner Herzog posing a moral question for the bounty hunter ` Bounty hunting is a complicated profession. Don`t you agree ?`
`The Mandolorian` is giving major Western film vibes, with Pedro Pascal himself confirming that he`s based his performance on Clint Eastwood`s character from `The Man With No Name` trilogy. The show 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.
