Our benevolent Disney overlords kept the officially trailer under wraps out of Star Wars Celebration today, but there is a whole new batch of high-res images from the series, which give a closer look not only at Pascal’s still-nameless Mandalorian, but also the characters played byGina CaranoandCarl Weathers.
Carano will reportedly be playing Cara Dune, an ex-rebel shocktrooper. Weathers will be stepping into the role of Greef, who sounds like he’ll be a head honcho of sorts for the galaxy’s most dangerous bounty hunters. Though we’re still dealing with a disturbing lack offaithfootage here, the show looksdopefrom what we have seen and heard, heavily inspired by Eastwood westerns andAkira KurosawaSamurai films.
