Disney + challenges the coronavirus and expands the Star Wars universe . According to Variety, Lesley Headland , who co-created, directed and produced the Netflix series "Russian Doll", would be working on a package of episodes focusing on a female character. The series, whose details are still top secret, would take place in an unexplored period of time compared to other Star Wars projects. Headland will write the script and be the main producer. The indiscretion is intriguing: "Russian Doll", with Natasha Lyons in the part of a woman who dies and relives differently on her birthday on each episode, was one of the most critically acclaimed shows in 2019, winning 13 nominations for Emmy and winning three.The choice of Headland marks a new step forward in the world of Star Wars towards greater diversity behind the camera. Until now, the films in the saga had always favored men in the main creative roles with the exception of "The Empire Strikes Back", co-written by Leigh Brackett with Lawrence Kasdan.
Disney + seems to be moving in a new direction: many episodes of "The Mandalorian" have been directed by women: Bryce Dallas Howard and Deborah Chow, the latter also assigned to direct the awaited series on Obi-Wan Kenobi with Ewan McGregor. And speaking of "The Mandalorian", which also thanks to the character of Baby Yoda immediately adored by young and old was one of the launch titles for the streaming service, work is in progress on a third season that should air after the second already on the calendar in October. Disney + would also have a "Rogue One" prequel in the pipeline with Diego Luna playing Cassian Andor, Stellan Skarsgard (amazing "River" by the BBC) and Kyle Soller. Meanwhile, Star Wars Day is approaching , born as a spontaneous fan event and over the years it has become a real celebration of the universe created by Lucas. New original content will be available on May 4 on Disney +: the seven-season ending of the CGI animated series "Star Wars: The Clone Wars", together with the world premiere of the new 8-episode docu-series "Disney Gallery: Star Wars: The Mandalorian "in which the executive producer Jon Favreau invites the cast and crew to share an unprecedented look at the making of the series which debuted in November in the US and in March in Italy.
