The Star Wars YouTube channel has released an all new trailer for the upcoming behind the scenes documentary show about The Mandalorian! The Mandalorian uses some groundbreaking new tech that may and most likely will revolutionize the way movies and tv shows are made. Interactive LED panels with in camera virtual sets are used to realize most of the shots. And things you thought were shot on location are instead shot in that “LED wall” cage, which also makes for some very natural looking lighting on set. You can see some of that in the trailer! Anyone who’s remotely interested in how The Mandalorian was made should definitely check out the series once it’s released on May 4th. You can watch the trailer by clicking on the image below!

Variety has an exlusive report about an all new Star Wars series for Disney+! According to Variety’s sources the show will be a female-focused series in a new, yet unexplored timeline. Some people think that means “alternate timeline”, as in “alternate universe”, which is most certainly wrong, it merely means that an unexplored section of the timeline will be the setting for the show. Not much else is known. Showrunner is supposed to be Leslye Headland, who is co-creator and showrunner for the Netflix Show “Russian Doll”, which has been generally well received.
One thing that is more or less certain is the fact that the characters will probably be all new original creations, thus, it won’t be a Dr Aphra or Ahsoka series, unless the “new timeline” premise turns out to be wrong.
What are your thoughts? Are you excited for more Star Wars to come? Another thing is if Leslye Headland will still be showrunner for the yet untitled show in a year from now, considering Lucasfilm’s track record. There has been no official confirmation yet, but Variety usually has reliable sources.

Good news everyone! Variety has learned that work on season 3 of The Mandalorian is already underway. In their exclusive report Variety says that Jon Favreau has been writing season 3 scripts for a while now and that the art department under the supervision of Doug Chiang has been creating season 3 concept art for the past few weeks! The Mandalorian is one of the lucky shows that wrapped season 2 production before the current pandemic threw a spanner into the works of many other tv and movie productions. Season 2 will air its first episode in October. And with production on season 3 already beginning there’s good hope that the show will return again in 2021.

In early April we reviewed the Revenge Of The Sith Chewbacca 12″ KB Toys exclusive. If you recall, I didn’t have the weapon available to shoot with the figure. Well, I found it and added eight new images with Chewbacca with the gun. For those of you who are interested, here you go!

In our review of the Retro Collection Lando Calrissian figure today, we mentioned that Hasbro cast the Bespin blaster in “black” plastic for the first time for this modern release. But thanks to the Imperial Gunnery Forum, we’ve just learned that a rare Lily Ledy version of Han Solo (In Trench Coat) comes with a “black” Bespin blaster. The more you know…. (Please leave any comments about this or the figure on our review page. Thank you!)

Those of you who ordered the Retro Collection online through Walmart’s website will have to wait “an unknown amount of time” before you see your orders fulfilled. JTA has learned that stock has been delayed because of the pandemic, and it will take some time before Walmart online can fill them. Please note, Retro Collection figures arriving in filled displays at some Walmart stores are part of a separate inventory and not part of the online stock units. It’s suggested to leave your orders in their current pre-ordered status as the expectation remains that they will eventually be filled and shipped out to collectors. Currently, there is no impact on The Empire Strikes Back 40th Anniversary 6″ figures. And the effect on new The Vintage Collection figures remains unknown. We will continue to follow this developing story, and provide updates as they become available. In the meantime, check out the complete wave of The Empire Strikes Back figures RIGHT HERE.
