New Poster Art For THE MANDALORIAN and Photo of Him Piloting His Razor Crest Ship
We’ve got two new pieces of poster art and a photo to share with you today for Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian. The first poster features The Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal), former Imperial Stormtrooper Cara Dune (Gina Carano), the droid IG-11 (Taika Waititi), and an Ugnaught riding on a Dewback. Judging by the twin suns, this is meant to be set on the planet of Tatooine. The second poster just includes a badass shot to The Mandalorian.
Below the posters, you’ll find a photo from inside of the cockpit of The Mandalorian’s ship, which is called the Razor Crest. I also included some information on that ship.
Below you find the image of The Razor Crest:
Star Wars fans will be happy to learn that the Razor Crest was built as a practical model, and is not CGI, just like the ships in the original trilogy. According to StarWars.com, "ILM model maker John Goodson built the craft using old-school techniques combined with cutting-edge 3D printing and LEDs for the engine lighting effects. Meanwhile, special effects legend John Knoll crafted a special motion-control rig in his garage so the model could be used for composite shots."
The series also stars Carl Weathers (Predator) as Greef Carga, Omid Abtahi (American Gods) as Dr. Pershing, Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man), as well as Nick Nolte, Giancarlo Esposito, and Emily Swallow in undisclosed roles, and Taika Waititi as the voice of the droid IG-11.
The plot of the show is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order and it will also explore the rise of the First Order in some ways. It will also attempt to merge all the different worlds of the Star Wars franchise including the “Legends” characters from the extended universe. Here’s the synopsis:
After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian 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.
Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels) is directing the first episode and serving as executive producer alongside Kathleen Kennedy and Colin Wilson. Additional directors include Deborah Chow (Jessica Jones), Rick Famuyiwa (Dope), and Bryce Dallas Howard (Solemates).
The Mandalorian will debut on Disney+ on November 12th, 2019.
