The Mandalorian: Pedro Pascal, lead actor of the Star Wars television show

The biggest story of "Star Wars" in the world of television might have found his face.

According to Variety, "Game of Thrones" and "Narcos", Pedro Pascal, will direct the next series "The Mandalorian", which will follow the exploits of a bounty hunter (unnamed Boba or Jango).

The details surrounding Pascal's character are not yet known, but the series's shepherd Jon Favreau said the show would take place between the episodes of "Star Wars" "The Return of the Jedi" and "The Awakening of the Force" .

One of the first lessons that Pascal's character will learn is perhaps: "Never celebrate a victory until you have confirmed that your opponent no longer has the ability to split you and turn your skull into a cantaloupe."

"The Mandalorian" should be the jewel of programming in the library of the upcoming Disney + streaming service, the company's long-standing response to rival platforms such as Netflix and Amazon.

The rumor is that Pascal is the first actor, but the show has already confirmed an impressive list of filmmakers for the alignment of the director "The Mandalorian". Taiki Waititi, Rick Famuyiwa and Deborah Chow are about to direct individual episodes, as will Bryce Dallas Howard, who will debut as a television director.

This news also comes after the recent announcement of Diego Luna – who, like Pascal, is now part of the growing universe of "Narcos" Netflix – will lead his own series Disney +, taking again his role of "Rogue One "in Cassian Andor.

Pascal was recently part of a record class of 928 new members at the Academy of Arts and Film Science. It will not be his last contact with a giant sci-fi franchise, because it will also appear in the next movie "Wonder Woman 1984."
