There are still a lot of questions surrounding the future of “Star Wars” on the big screen.

The series also stars Boyd Holbrook, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Adelaide Clemens, Vondie Curtis-Hall, and more.

The series begins with Raylan driving across Florida to bring his teen daughter Willa (Vivian Olyphant, Timothy’s real-life daughter) to a disciplinary summer camp. His journey is immediately waylaid by two wannabe criminals, leading him to testify about what happened at a hearing in Detroit.There, Judge Guy (Keith David) and lawyer Carolyn Wilder (Aunjanue Ellis) are unimpressed by Raylan’s attitude (and his tactics, which includes rough treatment of the thugs). Nevertheless, Judge Guy ropes Raylan into sticking around Detroit for longer than planned, to work with the Detroit PD on a task force that’s investigating a recent murder attempt against the judge.
