See the official description and a preview of The Mandalorian Manga below:
The Mandalorian and The Child are on the run, and nowhere is safe! Years after the fall of the Galactic Empire, a solitary bounty hunter is given a simple mission. Find and return the Child to the Imperial Remnant, all that remains of the once all-powerful Empire. This mysterious orphan has a power that can possibly turn events in their favor, and acquisition of that power is paramount. Instead, the bounty hunter goes on the run with the Child to protect him from the forces that would do him harm. Here is the story of The Mandalorian, and his desperate quest to save the Child and himself. Based on the series created by Jon Favreau and written by Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Christopher Yost, and Rick Famuyiwa.
“Chapter 1: The Mandalorian,” “Chapter 2: The Child,” “Chapter 3: The Sin,” and “Chapter 4: Sanctuary” introduce the mysterious Client (Werner Herzog), who hires the Mandalorian bounty hunter to collect the 50-year-old Child; the Ugnaught moisture farmer Kuiil (Nick Nolte), an ally of the Mandalorian; the Armorer (Emily Swallow), leader of a Mandalorian clan; bounty hunter droid IG-11 (voice of Taika Waititi); and the ex-Rebel shock trooper Cara Dune (Gina Carano), an Alderaan-born mercenary.
