It’s the wild, wild west of a galaxy far, far away.
The first official trailer for the highly anticipatedStar WarsseriesThe Mandalorianwas released at Disney’sD23Expo in Anaheim, California on Friday, giving fans a closer look at the newest galactic adventure.
Executive producerJon Favreauintroduced the trailer for the series, which starsGame of ThronesalumPedro Pascaland was one of the first projects Disney announced for itsupcoming streaming service Disney+.
The story takes place after the fall of the Empire, but before the emergence of the First Order, and follows a bounty hunter on his adventures (think Jango and Boba Fett).
“The Empire is gone, and then chaos reigns,” theLion Kingdirector added, teasing a “dangerous world” for all.
“There’s no central government in the galaxy … The gunfighters are roaming and people are fighting for their own safety and to try to build safe communities, but still, it’s a dangerous world.”
While the trailer doesn’t reveal much else in the way of the show’s plot, it certainly promises plenty of action, and this morsel: “Bounting hunting is a complicated profession.”
No kidding.

The clip also teases the chaos Favreau mentioned, with images of Stormtrooper helmets on spikes and mysterious new characters.
Pascal and Favreau previouslyshared some detailsabout the upcoming series back in April at the Star Wars Celebration in Chicago.
At the time, a new image was released of The Mandalorian holding a blaster and standing around a corner. “He’s a gunfighter, and a bounty hunter,” Favreau told the crowd.
“The Mandalorian is a mysterious, lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy,” Pascal added. “Some might say he has questionable moral character, in line with some of our best Westerns, and some good samurai [films].”
“And he’s a badass,” theNarcosstar added.
The series also stars Gina Carano, Carl Weathers, Werner Herzog, Nick Nolte, Giancarlo Esposito and more.
It was a busy news day forStar Warsfans, as Disney also revealed at the expo in Anaheim that Ewan McGregor will bereprising his roleas Obi-Wan Kenobi for another spin-off series coming to Disney+, which launches this fall.
