2. The Mandalorian

After years of rumours, a live-action Star Wars TV show is finally happening, and it sounds pretty great.

The Mandalorian will take place in the outer reaches of the galaxy, three years after the events of Return of the Jedi and the fall of the Empire, following a lone gunman far from the grip of the authorities.

Jon Favreau has created the series and is expected to write most if not all of the episodes, with directors including Dave Filoni, Bryce Dallas Howard, Deborah Chow, Rick Famuyiwa and, most excitingly, Taika Waititi. With a big-budget, a heavily Western premise, and the chance to properly flesh out the Mandalorians in live-action beyond just looking badass, it looks like the live-action Star Wars series will be worth the wait.
