If Jon Favreau is not the most committed filmmakers, it remains a very solid craftsman who knows how to tell stories to the general public. His arrival in the Star Wars galaxy was therefore only a matter of time.

The series live Star Wars, we hear talk about for a little while, and it is not reassured, however. Immediately, images of catastrophic and shameful we come to the head without too much to understand why, since, so far, no information has filtered about the project. But it must be the combination of the franchise with the concept of the series live, which should cause this kind of reaction, it does not seem to be obvious, such as marriage.

Yet, it will be necessary to be done as the series will indeed be produced and released at the end of the year 2019, if everything goes as planned. And, history to start this new adventure, Lucasfilm has just announced that it has hired the director of‘Iron Man, the Jungle Book , and the next Lion King, Jon Favreau to produce and write this famous series.

A decision that may seem surprising, but follows a certain logic since the man knows the projects casse-gueules (just take a look at his films recently), as well as the galaxy Star Wars as he lent his voice to Pre Vizsla in the series Clone Wars and that it will also be found in the displays of Solo.

The jungle book, one hell of a technical challenge

In any case, Kathleen Kennedy, the mother superior of Lucasfilm, could not have been more delighted with his choice, as it comes to explain it to the microphone of The Live Feed :

“I could not be more excited about the arrival of Jon Favreau and the production and writing of this series to our new broadcast platform. Jon brings the perfect combination of these two trades as well as his ability vis-à-vis the Star Wars universe. This series will give him the opportunity to work with different writers and directors just as much as it will bring to Lucasfilm the opportunity to build a very solid base.”

If you still do not know too much what to think of the project, it is obvious that Jon Favreau is friendly and that his arrival should calm some fears. In particular, those concerning a few differences art along the way that could put the production of this series.

Allez hop, on y va, en route to the adventure ?
