Star Wars fans excited for Disney's new Mandalorian show

We're just a few days away from the launch of the new Disney+ streaming platform and a whole host of new shows to hit our screens. The most anticipated one of the lot, however, is the new Star Wars show The Mandalorian.

It will be the first ever Star Wars live-action TV show and is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order.

It follows a lone gunfighter acting outside the stipulations of the New Republic, getting involved in adventures in the furtherest corners of the galaxy.

So far it's been revealed that several media outlets around the world were allowed to watch half-an-hour's worth of footage from multiple episodes. The show will star Game of Thrones' Pedro Pascal as the titular gunslinging bounty hunter, alongside Gina Carano, Werner Herzog, Ming-Na Wen, and Apollo Creed himself, Carl Weathers.

The New York Times has also said that new series will show "a dramatic Star Wars universe" in its very first episode.

It launches at the same time as Disney+, November 12.
