The Mandalorian is an upcoming, live-action
Star Wars series that will debut on Disney+ on November 12th. It takes place in between the events of
Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi and
Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens.
Dave Filoni, the man responsible for both
Star Wars: The Clone Wars and
Star Wars Rebels, served as director for the very first episode of the upcoming series. In a recent interview with
Entertainment Weekly, Filoni may have hinted that a character from one of his animated shows will make their live-action debut in
The Mandalorian.
“Having a character you wrote walk up and talk to you in full costume on a set that you imagined, that was a wonderful thing,” is what Filoni told the site. The quote is made interesting by the fact that Filoni isn't credited as writing any of
The Mandalorian. He did, however, write some of the aforementioned animated shows.
Who could this be referring to? Well, anyone who Filoni is partially credited as creating. The three most likely characters who could feature in the series are Ezra Bridger, Ahsoka Tano, and Sabine Wren. This is because all three of these characters are confirmed to be alive after the events of
Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi.
The most notable of the three is, of course, Sabine. This is because she's a Mandalorian herself and sports a similar look to the upcoming show's protagonist. Last year, it was reported that
her recognisable helmet was spotted on set of the live-action
Star Wars show.
