With Disney+ and the Star Wars series The Mandalorian getting ready to launch tomorrow, I recently sat down with Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, and Carl Weathers for an exclusive interview. While everything about the series has been a closely guarded secret, Disney showed us about twenty-seven minutes from the first few episodes before doing the interview and I absolutely loved what I saw. Without getting into spoilers, the footage revealed Pedro Pascal’s Mandalorian is very similar to Boba Fett in that he doesn’t talk much, we never see him without his helmet, and if you enjoyed spending time in the Star Wars cantina in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, you’re going to be happy. Obviously there is a lot more to The Mandalorian than what I got to see before doing the interview, but the footage was loaded with cool characters, new places, and creatures that I’d never seen in any Star Wars movie. Also, in the opening few minutes, I watched a character get killed in a very unique way and another scene revealed something I’ve always wondered about the Star Wars universe. Trust me, if you’re a Star Wars fan, you absolutely need to sign up for Disney+ to watch the series.
