Disney+, Disney’s shiny new streaming service, drops on November 12. On Day 1, people will be able to watch The Mandalorian, the first-ever live-action Star Wars show. Set after The Return of the Jedi but before The Force Awakens, it follows the adventures of a hard-scrabble bounty hunter on the fringes of the galaxy.
The House of Mouse has slowly been releasing bits of information about the show, with a full-blown trailer dropping a week ago at its D23 Expo.
Now, Entertainment Weekly has a new image from the series, showing the Mandalorian himself (Game of Thrones star Pedro Pascal) fighting two Trandoshan bounty hunters. It’s an old-school throwback to the days of The Empire Strikes Back and Bossk the bounty hunter, so put on your nostalgia-colored glasses and enjoy!

Trandoshans are reptilian-like aliens known for viciously hunting prey for sport, which makes them great bounty hunters. What makes this photo so cool is Bossk had a friendship and rivalry with Boba Fett (a Mandalorian bounty hunter) before the events of The Mandalorian.
I gotta say, just seeing the practical Trandoshian costumes used on this show makes me 100% believe in creator Jon Favreau’s vision. It means he’s got the best interest of old-school Star Wars fans at heart…and hey, if Pascal is as adept at killing his foes as he is his co-stars, then these Trandoshans don’t stand a chance:
