The Mandalorian finally speaks in Disney Plus’ action-packed new Star Wars trailer

The first trailer for the Disney Plus-exclusive Star Wars series The Mandalorian blew us away when it landed back in August, showing-off movie-quality cinematography and an epic, galaxy-spanning scope.

Now, a new trailer has arrived for the live-action television series – and it somehow dials up the action and spectacle even further.

The trailer features a hypnotic voiceover from the unmistakable German filmmaker/occasional actor/full-time curmudgeon Werner Herzog, and begins by questioning the role of a bounty hunter in a post-revolution world, while also offering some insight into the titular character's mysterious backstory.

Of course, the philosophizing quickly takes a back seat to some incredible looking action set-pieces, including shootouts, dogfights and hand-to-hand fight scenes.

A man of few words

We see The Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal of Narcos fame) as he takes out storm troopers, ropes bounties, catches huge beasts and meets up with what appear to be some old allies (including Gina Carano's Cara Dune and Taika Waititi's IG-11 droid).

And while don't get to see him with his helmet off, the new trailer does let us hear The Mandalorian's voice for the first time, even if it is only a couple of (rather badass) words.

The first episode of The Mandalorian lands on Disney Plus on November 12, 2019, with remaining episodes arriving each week after that. You can check out the new trailer in full below.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Airship acquires SMS commerce company ReplyBuy

Airship is announcing that it has acquired mobile commerce startup ReplyBuy . The startup (which was a finalist at TechCrunch’s 1st and Future competition in 2016) works with customers like entertainment venues and professional and college sports teams to send messages and sell tickets to fans via SMS. It raised $4 million in funding from Sand Hill Angels, Kosinski Ventures, SEAG Ventures, Enspire Capital, MRTNZ Ventures and others, according to Crunchbase . Airship, meanwhile, has been expanding its platform beyond push notifications to cover customer communication across SMS, email, mobile wallets and more.

He also suggested that both the COVID-19 pandem...
