    This series is the best thing that has happened to the Star Wars universe in the last 10 years.
    I hope this will continue in the future.

    Rogue One is the best Star Wars content since Empire, hands down. Return of the Jedi, all the prequels and sequels were useless trash. Solo was damn good, and I would have watched me about a dozen of em if that franchise hadn't been swept away in all the Last Jedi backlash.

The Mandalorian first season was such a relief that someone was getting something right, it wasn't as straightforward, gritty, sober and badass as Rogue One, but it held promise. This first episode of the second season was a bit more goofy than I like in my Star Wars, Peli Motto and service droids have their cornball "slapstick" value turned up to 11, neverending womp rat callbacks, never ending Tatooine revisits, all are starting to rub me the wrong way, a bit. I still enjoyed s02 e01, but it's got the potential of flying off into the goofy/emotional zone, which strays from the badassery I became a fan of.… Expand

    It's not bad, but it's a bit disappointing that season 2 is starting out with mostly a filler episode, I wonder if there will be any story line or they are planning to do season after season of mostly stand alone episodes.

    This first episode has everything that you can love about Star Wars! Great special effects, a very Western feel, and the return of older characters. Mandalorian 2 ups the action and promises great things to come.

    OK, Season 2 is even better than the first season:

    More worlds, more aliens, more interesting stories, good characters, amazing specials effects (to highlight the scenary, this serie has cut down costs in production the spotlights)and make up, good perfomances and a great final in this season.

    Thanks for this masterpiece

    Es ist die derzeit beste Serie. Bester Cast, bestes Drehbuch, bestes Storytelling, beste Regie, beste Musik und bestes cgi.
    In der Serie ist die nötige Spannung mit Herz beschrieben und nicht so ein Blödsinn wie die neuen Episoden

    The Mandalorian shows us that Star Wars can be done right for old fans and new alike. If Disney keeps going in this direction I have hope the franchise can be saved. Well done, the last episode was EPIC!!!

    Sure, the plot was kind of generic; still, the full western vibe and the awesome effects make the season 2 premiere of 'The Mandalorian' an exhilarating experience, especially for old school Star Wars fans. THAT revelation in the final shot sure will spice things up if confirmed. Overall it was a good start. A lot of shocks sure will be expected in the coming weeks.

The strength of this season are again deep interesting characters you are invested in, fan service, excellent use of lore and worldbuilding atop on creating / building emotions. Season 1 was already pretty good and I had doubts that they can pull of another season this great. But I was wrong as they delivered episode after episode until the epic climax. They use old and new characters to full potential. It is sad that I cant spoil more but it is simply amazing what they build here. Near the end they announced 10 new Star Wars shows / series and The Mandalorian laid an excellent foundation. I would not rate a single episode lower than a 9/10. There is so much heart, soul and care in this. It uses again the “Show not tell” approach and has some of the best elements from Western, Samurai movies and Science Fiction. Remember that the main actor Pedro Pascal wears a helmet. His body language works that well that you don't miss a thing. Baby Yoda is still so cute but also a scoundrel ;-). There are many returning characters that I wont spoil. The new ones are as amazing or even more as the already great cast. I like how they create so much emotion, attachment and depth. Just 1 returning character gets so much development in just a single episode that I wanted a show for him or at least a continuation of his arc. Then there is the final episode which I already praised. I had again doubts that they can give us a satisfying conclusion while having high hopes. Again they deliver and surpassed my expectations as they already did before. Remark: There is another badass post-credits scene that will put a smile on your face. They exactly know how to do it. A single name here, fan service there, garnering with revelations and additions of familiar faces. I am hyped for season 3. Overall I will give standing ovations and my full respect for this show. They saved Star Wars and re-earned the respect of fans while creating new ones. I recommend all episodes.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a treat for us Star Wars Fans. The different references from every Star Wars media are only little Easter eggs, but I must say, taking the Krait quest of KOTOR was a nice thing to have. Also giving a bit more humanity to the tusken raiders is also a nice touch. This show adds a lot to the star wars universe, I love all the extra info you get, be it important or just a nice thing to know.

    I also like that the show is not too "kid-friendly". The kill in the beginning of the episode, where he shoots the light so that the beasts can come out of hiding to eat him, gives this character a bit of a grim feel, which is good. Don't want my usual hero, saw that enough.

    The labor of love continues and I hope they can deliver once again. I don't need 10/10 episodes all the time, just be solid. Thanks Favreau and Filoni.    … Expand

    Pure Star wars fun. Going back to the samurai and spaghetti western movies that inspired the first trilogy but with the expanded lore of the clone wars. Made me fall in love with star wars once again. The S02 episode "The Jedi" is such a gem that I could not even believe my eyes. Sure the best star wars spin off ever made to date.

The 2nd season of the Mandalorian was just exceptional, still one of my top 10 favorite shows of all time and definitely out performed the near perfect first season. The writing was just so stupendous. The character development was terrific especially with Mando and Cara. The visual effects are just astounding. The puppeteering of Grogu is outstanding, he just appears so alive.The acting was phenomenal especially from Pedro Pascal, Rosario Dawson, Giancarlo Esposito, Gina Carano, Bill Burr, Timothy Olpphant, Ming-Na Wen, Amy Sedaris, Katee Sackhoff, Temuera Morrison, Michael Biehn, Horatio Sanz, and Diana Lee Inosanto. The costumes are spectacular especially ones wore by Pedro Pascal, Misty Rosas, Rosario Dawson, Temuera Morrison, Gina Carano, Ming-Na Wen, Amy Sedaris, Katee Sackhoff, Timothy Olpphant, and Giancarlo Esposito. The makeup and hairstyling is remarkable especially on Rosario Dawson, Horatio Sanz, Amy Sedaris, Temuera Morrison, Ming-Na Wen, Katee Sackhoff, Giancarlo Esposito, Diana Lee Inosanto, Pedro Pascal, and Mercedes Varnado. The music is superb. The set designs are magnificent. The fight choreography and stunt work is awesome. The live-action debuts of Ahsoka and Bo-Katan were excellent and the return of Boba and Fennec was so cool. This was an A+ 2nd season, it was just perfect to me and cannot wait to see where they go from here.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Mandalorian Season 2 is probably better than Season 1 in terms of quality and engagement meaning it's overall a great season and an excellent follow-up to the first. Din remains an excellent character with how he has to deal with plenty of danger yet still tackles through it all like a badass while continuously showing vulnerability and emotion. The rest of the characters, new and returning, are excellent in their roles given the amount of screen time they have and one returning character even comes back to remind us what it's like to be human and what we can do to redeem themselves. The fight scenes are admittedly lackluster with how stiff everybody moves, but its kind've to be expected given how Disney doesn't really like violence all that much and I suppose given with what they had to work with, at least it's not bad. But without a doubt the best thing about this Season isn't the story, characters, or the worlds, it's the entire journey with Din and Grogu (the baby Yoda). You see them learn to bond with one another slowly but surely that when Luke Skywalker comes to pick up the baby Yoda, this was two seasons worth of build up and it feels earned and satisfying. Overall, this season was a great one that was extremely enjoyable from top to bottom but given how Season 3 is apparently not that great from what I've heard, I can only hope I can sense SOME effort put into the next one.… Expand

    Take the first season of The Mandalorian, remove those (few) flaws it had, for example the self-contained episodes for themselves. And you will have obtained the beautiful second season.

    This first episode in the second season is a great example of how the series can work across scale—it can be intimate when it's two characters exchanging information in a vast open landscape, and it can also be massive with action scenes worthy of IMAX.
