CNet says:

Disney announced Thursday plans to develop a new live-action Star Wars TV series. Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed the news during an investors call, saying the new series will be exclusively shown on Disney's streaming service, which is set to debut in 2019. This news about the Star Wars series airing on Disney's streaming service makes sense considering the company recently said all Marvel and Star Wars films would be removed from Netflix in 2019.

There are currently no details on whether the new Star Wars series will have familiar characters from the films, animated series, books, comics and video games, or if this will be a brand new world with different characters, like the upcoming Star Wars film trilogy helmed by Rian Johnson.

Today, Iger stated that there will be a "few" Star Wars series on Disney's new streaming service:

Seems to me by placing this show in the post Yavin Empire they can maybe use some of the scripts and pre-production for the pre-Yavin Empire era show that was cancelled.

People do love Boba Fett. The Mandalorian armor, anyway.

"It's the armor, right? Chicks love the armor."

I wonder if they're going to go with the innovative low-budget approach Lucas was so interested in when he was readying to move forward with a live-action series. Doing elaborate production and post-production at a fraction of the cost.
