　　The show appears to be titled The Mandalorian.

　　The program will air on Disney's new streaming service. The service launches in 2019, but it's unclear when the new Star Wars show may arrive. The Mandalorian is one of "several" Star Wars shows in development. There is no word on who may star in any of the shows.

　　Favreau is an accomplished director whose credits include films like Elf, Iron Man, and Iron Man 2, as well as the recent box office smash The Jungle Book for Disney. He's teaming up with Disney again for The Jungle Book 2 and the new Lion King film, in addition to the Star Wars show. Favreau is also a veteran actor, having appeared in TV shows and movies like Friends, Deep Impact, and I Love You, Man, among many others.
