Jon Favreau, the creator of the Emmy-winning \"The Mandalorian,\" is executive producing the new series, with his partner on that show, Dave Filoni, and life-long \"Star Wars\" fan-turned \"Mandalorian\" episode director Robert Rodriguez, along with Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy and Colin Wilson.

Rodriguez got to realize a boyhood dream by bringing the bounty hunter back in his episode, \"Chapter 14: The Tragedy.\"

Disney is the parent company of ABC News.
