Well, my friends, that trailer positively slaps. I love it when a trailer manages to translate tone and scope without giving everything away, and this nearly dialogue-free number absolutely does the trick. Heck, if you’re going to only have one line of dialogue, you’re damn right you’re going to give it to Werner “I literally ate a shoe and got shot on camera” Herzog. Now that’s how you sell a show. And if you want to match a great ending with a great beginning, a shot of Storm Trooper helmets on pikes really sets A Mood.
Check it out for yourself in the trailer below.The Mandalorianwill launch on Disney+ day of release, November 12.
Here is the official synopsis forThe Mandalorian:
After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order.
