The Mandalorian is about a lone Mandalorian bounty hunter named Din Djarin, five years after the Emperor's defeat in Return of the Jedi. Along the way, he meets an entity called "The Child" who is part of the same rare force-sensitive species as Master Yoda. It is refreshingly different than the original trilogy and prequels, while still paying homage to its predecessors. The characters are realistic, and Djarin feels like a normal human being. He's not exceptionally powerful and able to bully his way through problems, but is forced to find his own unique way of solving them through sacrifice, skill, and cunning tactics. The obstacles presented feel genuine, and their actions actually have consequences that affect their future. Of course, the show would not have reached its level of fame without everyone's favorite character, Baby Yoda. The adorable green munchkin is something that we didn't know we needed, and we can't seem to get enough of him. Due to the show's setting, we also get to meet some of our favorite characters from the original Star Wars movies, so there is plenty of breathtaking moments created by their presence alone.
Regardless of all this, I still do not believe that this show is amazing. In comparison to George Lucas' work on the series, it actually falls a little short. However, in a time where we desperately needed something to restore our faith in Disney, and the direction it was taking the Star Wars franchise, this show answered our prayers. The second season is out now on Disney+, and as always, I would highly recommend watching it if you have the time! Let me know what you think about the show in the comments below!
