"The Mandalorian": Disney+ Releases Live-Action Look at "Star Wars" Series [TRAILER]
With The Walt Disney Company's D23 Expo 2019 officially running from August 23-25, Bleeding Cool is here in Anaheim, California, to bring you enough breaking news and rumors to make your our Mouseketeer ears bleed. Following up on the release of the series' official poster earlier in the day, Disney+ gave fans what they were waiting for: a live-action preview for the first live-action Star Wars television/streaming series, The Mandalorian (set to hit the streaming service on November 12).
The Mandalorian takes place after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order and follows a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic. Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Nick Nolte, Giancarlo Esposito, Carl Weathers, Emily Swallow, Omid Abtahi, Werner Herzog, Taika Waititi, Bill Burr, and Mark Boone Jr. star – and here's a look at what's in store:

Our very own Editor-in-Chief Kaitlyn Booth is reporting live from the three-day event – and you can join our live-blog as we cover all things Disney, a Spider-Man-less Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars series The Mandalorian, and the world of amusement parks.
For those of you not part of the "Mickey Continuum" (yet) and need backstory on what a "D23" is, here's how we see it. Billed as the largest fan event in the world, D23 Expo 2019 is the company's way of showing any other media company out there that they are not to be f***ed with – in the friendliest way possible. So over the course of three days attendees will learn what lies ahead on the path towards pop culture nirvana, across the company's media landscape: film, television, theme parks, products, online, music, live entertainment, and more.

Expect The Mandalorian, the Lady and the Tramp live-action remake, and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (which has a screening later in the day) as some of the expected topics – and then there's that rumored Ewan McGregor/Obi-Wan limited series as well as a possible surprise or two from the Marvel U.

Go Behind the Scenes with The Walt Disney Studios
10am PT – 12pm ET / 1pm ET – 3pm ET
Star Wars. Marvel. Pixar. Disney. Live-action. Animated.
Do we even need to bother considering the possibilities? Star Wars 9 "sizzle reel" footage hopefully looking like a given – and again, while most people default to "film" when Marvel Studios enters the room… we might see some surprises on the smaller-screen side of things.
