They said in an interview that its IG-11... but its clear the intent is to show the IG series as badasses.

I heard on one of the SW podcasts I listen to that each episode has a budget of 10 million. Does that even make sense? It looks fantastic though, there was another 5 minute scene shown at Celebration and the entire thing looked incredibly good...especially the IG droid rampaging with both guns out.

yeah, that was IG88 in shadows of the empire. dash rendar was the "not han solo" and the outrider was the "not the millennium falcon"
initially i want to say that's way too high per episode, but isn't that fairly close to game of thrones budget?

Whenever they do episode budgets, they usually are just averaging out total production costs and dividing it by # of episodes.
However, when you look at the actors they have for this and the fact it will probably have movie quality special effects + sets/costumes, I could easily see 10m per episode. And ya, GoT costs about that per episode and I'm fairly certain Rome was in that realm as well.

Now you can afford the few boxes of cereal that you were unable to purchase because Netflix ate into your budget so much.
There are plenty of shows I enjoy on Netflix that I get my 14 dollars a month value from. Given the cheaper cost of the streaming service for Disney, I think I can afford both.

Been over it in other threads, but 10M/per is industry standard now for a AAA major series.
HBO et al.
I'm not familiar with streaming service productions. I'd think 10M would be a gambit based on the fact they have no subscribers presently.
But for frame of reference-- Television examples,
HBO Vinyl (an unpopular black sheep HBO series) budget was 10M/per.
GoT is also 10M/per.
Westworld is also 10M/per.
10M is the upper limit for budgets. If there was to be a cost ceiling, 10M is it. It is so extremely rare to get budget authorization to go over 10M, that there are actually no examples of it. Like you won't find a series that has a budget set for 12M/per, 10M is considered the "premium" upper limit for the past several years.
But if Mandalorian is getting 10M, then I might also guess Witcher is going to be 10M. Basically premium series budgets are coming to the streaming game.

Right, I don't get why people always go "well I'm dropping blah blah blah" if you see the value in it now, another service offering good content doesn't take away from that original value you had. It's $14, not $100.
