Jon Favreau Star Wars Series May Film This Fall
-----------------------------------------------
It looks as though Lucasfilm is eyeing up a Fall or Winter
start for the new Jon Favreau Star Wars TV series. Omega
Underground is reporting the new series, developed and
written by Jon Favreau, may begin shooting by Fall of this
year in order to be ready for the new Disney streaming
service launching sometime in 2019.

While reports have been scarce, Favreau himself revealed a
few details while attending the Solo: A Star Wars Story
premiere. The series, which is to feature all new
characters, will take place 7 years after the Battle of
Yavin and was roughly half written at the time. It will
also employ the same motion capture technology Favreau
used on his smash hit, 2016's The Jungle Book.

More recently we've learned that he's enlisted the help of
veteran Star Wars artists Doug Chiang and Andrew L. Jones,
both of whom worked with Favreau on The Jungle Book.

There is no title as of yet and no directors have been
announced, but with filming potentially beginning this
Fall, we should hear something soon.

Stay tuned for more!
