There has been a flurry of activity surrounding the Star Wars Universe ever since Disney purchased them.

They have been putting out about one movie per year since they have taken the helm. The Clone Wars, Rebels, and Resistance have been really solid animated series for Star Wars. They are working on a few original series for the Disney streaming service. There will be a Star Wars Land at Disney Land.

There has been a small hiccup in the domination of all media by Star Wars. It has been announced that Boba Fett and all the other filler movies that were scheduled to air between the major Star Wars releases are put on hold indefinitely.

Other than that, things are looking pretty good for Star Wars in the near future. We can’t wait to see the newest movie and we are already booking our trip to visit Star Wars Land when it opens in Fall 2019.

Are you a Star Wars fan? What are you looking forward to from the Star Wars Universe? Let us know in the comments below.

Disney is starting their own streaming service. They will be pulling all their old titles under the streaming service eventually when broadcast contracts expire.

Disney will also be developing original content for their streaming service. One of those shows will be “The Mandalorian” directed by Jon Favreau. Disney is throwing a lot of money at this project and Favreau is a proven director, so we have high hopes for this series.

For those not steeped in all things Star Wars, Mandalorians are what Jango & Boba Fett are. They are a legendary race of warriors originating from the planet Mandalore and it’s moon, Concordia.

Jon Favreau’s Mandalorian will be Lucasfilm’s first live-action Star Wars television show. It is set during the years between the fall of the Empire and the rise of the First Order. The Mandalorian should be a good gap filler between the major Star Wars movie releases.

The only negative is it will only be available on the Disney Play streaming service. That will require the purchase of another streaming service membership.

Are you looking forward to the Mandalorian? Let us know in the comments.
