'The Mandalorian' TV Series Spoilers: Hero's Ship Has Clone Wars Connection

“The Mandalorian” live action TV series will have a connection to the Clone Wars. New details about the show have surfaced online, revealing some exciting information about the lone warrior played by Perdro Pascal.

The following article contains spoilers of “The Mandalorian” TV series.

According to a report by Making Star Wars, the ship that Pascal’s character will be using on the show will be called Razorcrest. Two sources have reportedly confirmed that this is how the ship is referred to by insiders. However, it is unclear if this is the name of the ship or just of the design.

Razorcrest is an old ship that was built during the Clone Wars. “Star Wars” fans who know the history of this fictional world will remember this to be the war that led to the creation of the Empire. “The Mandalorian” is reportedly set five years after the fall of the Empire.

Very little has been revealed about the Mandalorian’s ship. The report suggested that this ship will be very different from the designs seen in the “Star Wars” universe, including the ships from the planet Mandalore.

Most of the ships in “Star Wars” can shoot lasers, but an exciting new feature in this new ship is that it will have the ability to carbon freeze. The carbon freeze technology was first seen in “Empire Strikes Back,” in which Han Solo (Harrison Ford) was frozen alive to be transported to collect the bounty on his head. The “Clone Wars” TV series, which takes place before the original trilogy, predated this technology to show how Darth Vader came up with the idea later in the film.

By the timeline of “The Mandalorian,” it appears this technology has spread. It remains to be seen if Pascal’s character will use this feature on his ship to capture people or aliens to collect their bounty. More details about the ship and its capabilities may be revealed if the pictures or concept arts of the design surface online.

“The Mandalorian” is helmed by Jon Favreau. The show creator and executive producer has been sharing pictures from the production set on social media, revealing some of the set designs and props. His most recent post about the TV series on Instagram confirmed that the assassin droid IG-88 from “The Empire Strikes Back” will be back.

According to a previous report by Making Star Wars, there may be other bounty hunters from the original trilogy who will be featured on “The Mandalorian.” More details about the characters on the show will become clear when the first trailer is released.
