"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"

Cassian Andor will have his right-hand droid with him for his Star Wars prequel droid.

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy confirmed Alan Tudyk will reprise his role as K-2SO in the Disney+ series that stars Diego Luna. The Rogue One prequel sees him once again play rebel spy Cassian Andor, and is set during the early days of the Rebellion, prior to the events of 2016's Rogue One.

"It will be a thrilling spy series set in the Star Wars universe," Kennedy said Thursday at an investor's day focused on Disney+.

She confirmed that Lucasfilm's first live-action series, The Mandalorian, will be available as a launch title for Disney+, as will the first two sets of Star Wars trilogies.

"We'e pretty deep into the heavy lifting of turning all of that wonderful photography and all of those stories into one continues season of eight episodes," executive producer Jon Favreau said of where he is in the process.

Favreau also brought the first footage of the series.

The Mandalorian clip shows the back of presumably the Mandalorian in a snowy area. He’s holding something in his hand, and he pockets it and walks forward. He wears armor that’s meant to look like a medieval knight.There are shots of new planets, new races, new species, new starships but as Favreau said, “we want it to feel completely connected and familiar”

The series takes place after 1983's The Return of the Jedi and before the villainous First Order rose to replace the Empire. The series stars Pedro Pascal, as well as Gina Carano, Nick Nolte, Giancarlo Esposito and Werner Herzog. The Mandalorian also has booked a number of high-profile directors, including Taika Waititi, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rick Famuyiwa, Deborah Chow and Star Wars: The Clone Saga's Dave Filoni.

In addition to those series, Disney revived fan-favorite animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars revived in July for a seventh season on Disney+ after last airing in 2008. Kennedy revealed Thursday there will be a docuseries looking at the craftspeople behind Star Wars.

Star Wars is becoming a key attraction for Disney+ as the studio aims to compete with Netflix and other streaming services. As of now, Disney has no theatrical plans for Star Wars beyond December's Star Wars: Episode IX. Disney and Lucasfilm have released one Star Wars film a year, but May's Solo: A Star Wars Story disappointed commercially and critically, and Disney CEO Bob Iger has indicated there will be a "slowdown" of Star Wars theatrical releases.

Glad to see Disney is skipping Netflix and going straight to torrent.

My guess on Rey’s lineage. Sheev ate Padme’s placenta for the super midichlorians and sharted out Rey.

There are several unsubstantiated sources now claiming the title is ”The Will of the Force”.

Soon, we shall have new Star Wars information transmitted into our brains.

Soon we will have all new things to argue about until December, when even more new things to argue about shall present themselves.

Lightsaber fights and Luke Skywalker drinking beers and Paul Saltines showing up with Snoke’s brother, Bloke.

Kylo Ren‘s new friend is an old man on a bicycle. He has no name!

There might also be a pontoon boat of some kind.

They really should've announced this the other way around. First tell us Alan Tudyk would be coming back as K, then tell us captain no name would be joining as well.

It probably says something that all the titles are directly referencing Force stuff now instead of acknowledging a larger context.

When compared to his previous portrayals, sure, but definitely not compared to his current co-stars.

For Rey at least, I think that's due to repurposing scenes from TFA with Leia that have her in that costume.

imho the one thing everyone can agree on in regards to episode 8 is that it was a smart choice to have Kylo smash his helmet and move forward in the film as himself rather than as a weird darth vader analogue. it's an extremely simple and clear step forward for his character, so of course jj will reverse it lol

Yes, I really liked that scene and it felt like a natural progression for his character, especially after the chewing out he received from Snoke. So glueing it back together was expected.
