The Mandalorian Set Robbed, Star Wars Officials in a Panic?

The set of the upcoming live-action Star Wars TV seriesThe Mandalorianhas encountered some of the most wretched kind of scum and villainy in the galaxy. Jon Favreau’s show has come up against a major problem, as the set has reportedly been robbed, which has, understandably, sent the people at Lucasfilm into something of a panic mode, as it looks like some of the show’s secrets are now in danger of making their way out into the world. Not to mention the expense associated with what was taken.

According to a new report, which has been corroborated by local law enforcement authorities,The Mandalorianset was robbed, with expensive equipment, seemingly from the camera department missing. One of the key concerns is that a memory card, containing sensitive information related to the series, was amongst what was stolen from the set in Manhattan Beach. So, not only is some possible footage in danger of leaking online, but up to this point, Lucasfilm has been very cagey about releasing many details,having not even announced a single cast member. That is now in danger as a result of this theft.

As is understandable, the report states “all hell broke loose” following the theft, which is expected to have taken place at night when the set was dark. The police and Lucasfilm have both launched investigations, but it’s possible some damage could already be done, depending what was on that memory card and whose hands it winds up in.Star Warsproductions are famously secretive and the top brass at Lucasfilm is naturally going to be very upset about this. It wouldn’t be surprising if people lose their jobs as a result, but determining fault will be crucial when it comes to that matter.

For now, it doesn’t look like this is going to significantly halt production but the fallout from this could be serious.Jon Favreauserves as the chief creative force as executive producer and writer of the series. Dave Filoni (Star Wars Rebels), Bryce Dallas Howard (Solemates), Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok), Deborah Chow (Jessica Jones) and Rick Famuyiwa (Dope) are all on board to direct episodes of the series.The Mandaloriandoes not yet have a premiere date, but it’s expected to arrive in late 2019.
