However, it is also the case that no studio has taken its hardcore followers for granted as brazenly as Disney with Star Wars. Last week, the Mandalorian rescued Baby Yoda from The Client and took off with him in the Razorcrest for parts unknown. Chock full of references to deep-cut Star Wars lore, it's being described as "a mixed bag" that carries a lot of possibility for the iconic science fiction universe that's been steadily chugging along for over four decades. -Caroline Framke, Variety "As a bombastic first entry into live-action TV, Mandalorian is a bit of a disappointment. Independent Premium Comments can be posted by members of our membership scheme, Independent Premium. And that’s where The Mandalorian goes from a tale worth telling to a story befitting Star Wars‘ vast mythology." It’s long on impressive special effects and alien shootouts, and short on a fresh story line beyond the usual unwitting hero with a mysterious family tree and a destiny that involves saving the universe (or part of it)." -Chris E. Hayner, GameSpot, "The Mandalorian accomplishes something that I, as a lifelong Star Wars fan, long thought was impossible, distilling the essence of Star Wars - its limitless possibilities, its spirit of adventure, its ability to be both relatably grounded and utterly fantastical all at once - into a 40-minute, live-action series that fits into the world of the movies like well-worn armor."

You can really feel the many set pieces that are on display in the premiere, from an ice-crusted planet inhabited by ne’er-do-wells (who frequent a dive bar), to a more urban locale resembling Tatooine that’s populated by ne’er-do-wells (who frequent a dive bar), to a mountainous desert setting that also features ne’er-do-wells, though they opt to guard a highly prized bounty target when not chilling at a dive bar.

-Laura Prudom, IGN, "There are things I refuse to spoil about The Mandalorian, since they kick so much ass. The Mandalorian goes back to a grittier time, both in Star Wars lore and chronology as well as in a more practical effects aspect. There's some subtle use of shaky-cam throughout the episode, and clever use of light and shade to set the mood." The series isn’t perfect but it is a cracking watch and, unlike the new Disney movies, it feels like proper, old-school Star Wars. It features episodic storytelling and is influenced by lone-gunslinger spaghetti westerns rather than Marvel movies (Ludwig Goransson’s score self-consciously references Ennio Morricone’s soundtracks for Sergio Leone).

The Mandalorian really is Disney’s Boba Fett, a mercenary safe enough for kids." tar Wars fans are an excitable bunch at the best of times. Suffice to say, Pascal’s Mandalorian is a tough-talking bounty-hunter dressed similarly to Boba Fett from the original trilogy. What's more, this one episode alone expects viewers to soak up a lot of information that, unless you're a diehard Star Wars fan, will seem rather pointless." Warning! Yet it turned out that hope was not entirely lost. Star Wars first live-action TV series continues in The Mandalorian Chapter 4, which proves to at once tell a nice standalone story, and continue pushing the deeper story arcs of the series. Star Wars dripped retro-chic before retro-chic became a thing and Favreau, director of Iron Man and of Disney’s live action Jungle Book and Lion King remakes, is perhaps the first to recognise that. Legions of Harry Potter fans seem to have it in for JK Rowling; every time a new actor is cast as a major superhero in a Marvel or DC film, the internet has a meltdown. It’s the kind of reveal that indicates that The Mandalorian could have played a crucial role leading up to the events of present-day trilogy, particularly ... Rise of the Skywalker." The Mandalorian has its flaws, to be sure.

JJ Abrams rewards the composer’s hard work on the franchise with a cameo. The Mandalorian streams new episodes every Friday on Disney+. After the triple whammy of disappointment that was The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, the new Disney+ series is our only hope, writes Ed Power, Find your bookmarks in your Independent Premium section, under my profile. The Emmy Award-winning star of Killing Eve shows up very briefly in flashback as Rey’s mother.
