This Is When Jon Favreau’s Star Wars TV Series Will Take Place

Actor and director Jon Favreau has confirmed that Disney’s upcoming live-action Star Wars TV show will be set seven years after Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and will feature new characters. Favreau will be writing for the show and will serve as executive producer.
