Lucasfilm has just announced that Jon Favreau (Iron Man, The Jungle Book) has signed on to executive produce and write the first live-action Star Wars series for Disney’s new direct-to-consumer platform.
And so it begins. Not much other info at the moment, but I do think Favreau is a good choice.
“I couldn’t be more excited about Jon coming on board to produce and write for the new direct-to-consumer platform,” says Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. “Jon brings the perfect mix of producing and writing talent, combined with a fluency in the Star Wars universe. This series will allow Jon the chance to work with a diverse group of writers and directors and give Lucasfilm the opportunity to build a robust talent base.”
Favreau is thrilled to be returning to the Star Wars galaxy: “If you told me at 11 years old that I would be getting to tell stories in the Star Wars universe, I wouldn’t have believed you. I can’t wait to embark upon this exciting adventure.”
