Is ‘The Mandalorian’ a ‘Star Wars’ take on a famous samurai series? MayThe4thBeWithYou
Most of what we know about the upcoming live-action Star Wars series The Mandalorian was shared by showrunner Jon Favreau over Instagram, where he described the show as following “the travails of a long gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy,” sometime between the fall of the Empire and the rise of the First Order. But a new rumor posted to r/StarWarsLeaks and deemed plausible by leaks warehouse Making Star Wars may tell us quite a bit more.
The EU, or Expanded Universe, refers to the decades of accumulated lore in novels, comics and video games that was erased from the overall Star Wars continuity after Disney bought Lucasfilm. This isn’t exactly an original premise. Dubbed the “Badass and Baby” by TV Tropes, you can watch mostly-silent, nigh invincible gunfighters kill armies of enemies with a baby in their hands in movies like Shoot ‘em Up and Hard Boiled. But landmark manga Lone Wolf and Cub may be the most influential, and still the best, take on the idea.
