    Well done. Met my expectations, and I'm looking forward to more. Good mix of practical and cg fx. The environments feel gritty and bleak so far, which is great. The important characters are very well done, and I dig the representation of familiar species from the Star Wars film universe.

    The creators don't even try. Besides lead project of Disney's platform looks very cheap and has series of 30 min. long and it's in 2020.

    Classic Star Wars back in style. All the atmosphere you would expect from a series centered on a bounty hunter. The soundtrack is superb, the tone is appropriate, and the pace is sufficient. I'm really happy that they aren't overdoing it with 1hr15min episodes like Game of Thrones which, while entertaining, often dragged on for 15-20 minutes too long every episode--too much filler.

Episode 2 will give us a better feel for how the pacing of the entire series will go, but I like what I see so far.

    Keep in mind there are going to be a large number of people so anti-Disney that they will never give this series an objective review. Most of the gatekeeper complaints are, as per usual, from so-called "fanboys" who seem to have lost touch with what Star Wars has always been. They want it to be dark, gritty, rated R. Ironically these will be the same fanboys that defend Lucas' more controversial decisions, yet one thing Lucas was always adamant about was Star Wars being primarily for kids. KIDS. Not teenagers, not YA, not 40 year-old angry neckbeards. KIDS.    … Expand

    This is as close to what Star Wars should be. I've been waiting for this since Return of the Jedi. It has the right feel, the right characters and the look. Very happy so far. Who knew Jawas were such a-holes!

    This show is just plain awesome. After the travesty of the last couple of movies and no doubt the next one, this show is the only thing keeping the star wars universe alive for me. Would like some more depth and backstory to the characters and show but hoping that will come soon. I think I speak for everyone when I say they had better include the darksaber at some point in this series!

    Astonished that it is actually good.

    After Disney destroying star wars with trash films that are as cancer eating away at the soul of the franchise... there is a glimmer of hope with The Mandolorian. Having finished episode 3 I can say the whole family loves it... exciting, engaging, action packed with good values and heroic undertones.

    This is formulaic and boring. Every episode either an old friend or old foe arrives to save or ruin the day, and is defeated or runs off.

    Love the style of the show. It's gritty but not to the point that you can't watch it with your kids. It definitely has that "star wars" feel to it's production. I enjoyed the character progression of mando, how he begins the show seeming to want to just exist as a bounty hunter, but by the end of the show he has new priorities. I hope they continue down this road in season 2.

    Even when the first scene can give you the sense that you are going to see another retelling of the same star wars story, the strength of the show is actually that it is not original star wars with a younger cast like in the Disney movies. Also the costumes and locations don't look cheap, the cgi maybe, but that is part of the sw universe too haha

I'm not a star wars fan at all, but I had fun with the show. It is funny without needing to try in some moments, keeping levity to what is actually a pretty grim world without souring anything. It is the space spaghetti western you wished there was more of. Does that mean it has some stereotypes? Yes, infact the voice of the main character will make you want to see if Clint Eastwood's younger persona is hiding under the helmet.

    I feel like they do a pretty good job with visual story telling over the tired trend of today's lazy writers who need their characters to explicitly tell you things. This also requires acting, and sadly one of the drawbacks of the show is that the main character is shrouded in helmeted obscurity. So physicality is even more important to his character.

    It doesn't try to weave some massive grand narrative and it doesn't make the hero invincible, in fact, he gets his butt kicked pretty hard, and gets into dicey situations that require him to actually work at.

    Sound effects in the jawa episode were....uh, surprisingly bad. I think they were going for comedy, but it just ruined things. Though overall it holds up.

    I hope to see more of this show. I don't expect it to be god tier sci-fi, because star wars itself isn't really all that special in my opinion. But for what it is, this show meets the standards a star wars fan would want, and from the perspective of an action adventure, this show hits it off strong.    … Expand

    Probably the series that ended the downward spiral for the Star Wars franchise. It created strong characters that you care for, relate to and want to know more of.

It works because it follows the “Show not tell” rule. You get everything by his body language, voice and even hesitation in some situations. The show is much like Sergio Leones western where they speak not much but the scenery, mimic, expressions and pacing fills the gaps more than enough. Then there is the strong additional cast. Lets start with “Baby Yoda” who is named officially as the child but the first name sticks to the character and will be used. He is mostly practical effects by puppeteers and works amazing. Strong chemistry with the cast. Carl Weathers as leader of the bounty hunter guild is a master scoundrel, trickster and interesting character. IG-11 the bounty hunting droid steals the show and he won me over. Kuiil by Nick Nolte is another favorite. Great backstory, smart and a noble soul;“I have spoken”;-). With former rebel shock trooper Cara Dune played by Gina Carano we have a strong addition to the cast. She is smart, kicks as and will win you over easily. Bonus points for Emily Swallow as The Armorer, Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon who you will love to hate and others I wont spoil. The story is pretty good and it gets better and better as new characters were introduced, you learn more backstories and the development / interactions start. It starts with the Mandalorian picking a special bounty hunt that is granted under the table. He did not know that this changes his life drastically. More I will not spoil. It is also the lore and world-building that improves the show. The Mandalorian codex (This is the way), the outskirts of the Star Wars galaxy that are mostly abandoned by law, the bounty hunters (and their guild) and the remains of the Empire are grabbing your attention. There are also underlying philosophical aspects that can be argued about. Good vs evil and shades of gray of this. Nature and nurture or parenting and family. The sets and special effects are also top notch and I think they did an excellent job. Overall this has hearth, soul, great characters and you always feel engaged and want more. Easily a 10/10 and I am hyped for season two. That is the way and I have spoken;-).… Expand

Car le problème de cette série, c'est son absence totale d'intrigue et d'enjeux : entre le premier épisode et le dernier (le 8ème) de cette première saison, le schmilblick n'a pas avancé d'un poil de cul. Et encore.

On s'ennuie donc souvent dans cette routine alors que le dernier épisode abuse carrément côté aberrations scénaristiques de scénariste (déjà ?) surmené. Tout ça pour en mettre plein la vue...

    The story is engaging to a degree but the special effects and action are where it really shines. I really liked how there is a good mix of both practical and CGI. They complement each other well and the makers use each very effectively. The action is also clear and well shot.

    I also really like how it extends the Star Wars universe, the imagination is impressive and it feels like a lived-in world.

    One other minor nitpick (aside from the plot) but I don't actually think Pedro Pascal puts in that great a performance. I know he dubbed some scenes but occasionally the Mandalorian's dialogue felt lifeless. I'm unsure if this was a specific choice as I normally quite like Pascal's acting.

    Para algunos, el primer episodio podría haber sido insípido, pero puedo decir que el futuro de este programa será genial, el CGI está en el punto, el aspecto mandaloreano es increíble. Definitivamente recomiendo esta serie.

    Faithful addition to the Star Wars Franchise.
    Great characters, action packed and funny at times.

    Esto empieza bien, tiene buena pinta, muy buena calidad, y la historia es interesante, qué más se puede pedir.

    Finally found my people. Writing is hopelessly uninspired. There must be 10% of every episode of him just walking around slowly until he arrives at the place, only for nothing to happen. He gets plenty of exercise, but when does something happen?!... Just watching episode 5 at this second, and hoping it somehow gets better... Does this polished turd get smarter and more engaging at anyFinally found my people. Writing is hopelessly uninspired.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was more or less someone who wasn't interested in this show when it first got announced because I was not huge on Star Wars back then as a kid who was more into Marvel anyways. But after finally giving it a chance, I'm finally glad I did because it's a story I can relate too and the characters blend wonderfully into it. Firstly, the story is primarily about a cold-blooded mercenary willing to do what it takes to prevent a Baby Yoda from having a dreaded past he once had from robots and as the story continues on, the character learns to let go of his past fears and hate in order to actually care for the Yoda and learn to love again; the reason this story works is that we're more or less like Din Djarin who can lose themselves after a horrid past and it shows how even then, we can still come back and redeem ourselves when we learn to love. The characters are excellent since Din always keeps his mask on but that's ok since we're supposed to see him as this iconic bounty hunter who'll stop at nothing to do what needs to be done and a face reveal early on would've killed our interest straight away plus, it wouldn't even make sense in the Star Wars rules so when he does get it taken off, it feels earned with how long it took and there was no other way for IG-11 to keep him alive. Speaking of IG-11, his purpose here definitely serves as character growth for Din as a droid killed his parents when he was just a boy so it's natural he doesn't trust IG-11 even as he's reprogrammed but when he eventually does, it feels earned and more emotional when he asks IG not to sacrifice himself. The side characters are pretty good and they do feel like all of them have their place here (for the most part). The atmosphere and tone are phenomenal in showcasing this show is a lot smaller in comparison to its movie counterparts and ensure you're immersed thanks to the soundtrack. Overall, this is an excellent show and I can't wait to watch some more to see how Pedro Pascal and the directors will shape this show.… Expand

    S1 is quite fun and different from a lot of the other Disney Star Wars they churn out. Let's be honest, though, it's no masterpiece.

    Never would I have guessed that a series were a Walmart boba fett protects a deviant art yoda from Gustavo fring would've been the best star wars thing Disney has made up until that point

    It's better than season 3 that's for sure. It's original, mysterious and importantly for star wars at this point, not awful.

    Where most of the films tie themselves in knots keeping up with the family travails of Skywalkers and Palpatines, The Mandalorian operates in relative solitude. ... Favreau keeps things just the right side of schmaltzy, while also creating a more textured universe than we are used to.

    Amid the fan service, there is plot too. .. A series that has started in relatively low key fashion but seems certain to leave everyone, and not just Star Wars ultra-diehards, wanting more.

    Its issues hew toward the fundamentals of direction, performance, and dialogue, more problems of basic filmmaking skill than miscalculated vision. Favreau started from a more specific, vivid place than in his jobs for Marvel or on Disney’s wretched Lion King remake. Unlike his nomadic antihero, however, he doesn’t take it much of anywhere.
