Jon Favreau's live-action created by Favreau and he's quickly moving through various stages of development and pre-production.

However, there isn't a lot of concrete information on the project at this time. Reports have pointed to the Star Wars series starting production this fall, but that's yet to be confirmed. They'll need a cast and crew before any of this gets going, but fans have long been wondering just how grand a live-action Star Wars series can be.

NY Times reports Favreau's live-action Star Wars series has a $100 million production budget, roughly. With the series set to feature 10 episodes, that gives Favreau around $10 million per episode. A budget of that size isn't common on TV, pointing to a huge scope or big name talent, or both. This budget also make Favreau's series one of the largest productions for Disney's streaming service so far.

The easiest competitor for Favreau's series in of budget is HBO's noteworthy production designers, the early signs point to the series achieving this.

As for what the series will actually be about, that is still unclear. Favreau confirmed the series take place on Mandalore. There's potential for it series to truly stand alone and maybe even feature characters from Star Wars Rebels or The Clone Wars in a new setting. Fans would, undoubtedly, be excited if Sabine Ren makes an appearance in any way, which is certainly in the cards. It all depends on how connected the show is going to be to the larger universe at hand. Based on its budget, Favreau should have the resources to do whatever he wants.
