The Mandalorian

This is the Star Wars atmosphere and feeling I've been waiting for. No dumb humor, cool characters, and a story I can take seriously. I'm a big fan of what they've done with this series so far and current Star Wars filmmakers need to take notes. The cinematography is amazing. You can tell they use practicality as much as possible and CGI is used only for the obvious like spaceships and creatures etc. It's a truly remarkable balance of old and new.

Here's my updated review after the conclusion of season 3.

Season 3 was mediocre in my opinion. I think my outlook on Star Wars projects has changed since I watched Andor. Most things have paled in comparison to the magnificence of that show.

Seasons 1 and 2 weren't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but they were still very entertaining. The latter was entertaining as well, but I probably won't ever watch the episodes again because they aren't too groundbreaking.

Season 1 was a mostly down to earth weekly bounty hunter show. It was a solid start.

Season 2 had some cool cameos that mostly worked for the progression. It was great.

Season 3 saw a great fall in quality. It was disjointed and flawed. Not terrible, but disappointing.

If there is a season 4 I hope it can give us a compelling finish. M.

What an incredible leap into Live Action Star Wars television. The Mandalorian delivers in both capturing the feel of the classic trilogy as well as it's own unique identity. A sweet spot of western/ sci fi/ action and comedy. Many Star Wars fans have experienced the expertly crafted stories by Filoni in series like "The Clone Wars" and "Rebels". His influence shines bright in The Mandalorian and I believe Star Wars fans will be absolutely thrilled to see his expertise once again bring excitement and wonder back to a Galaxy Far Far Away.

A new chapter for Star-Wars, one like we haven't seen before. First of all, you can feel the star wars vibe from a mile away. The beautiful world-building production- and costumedesign, the thrilling cinematography and the great (sound)editing. There are however some aspects that divide this artwork from the trilogies. the type of storytelling for example. focusing completely on one character, and making this one character so interesting.

With a great cast and great producers, I have high hopes for this little show. Thanks in advantage, Mr. Favreau.

I like that they gave the Mandalorian some personality, some good vistas and action setpieces, solid comedy, fun little additions to the Star Wars canon (bounty droids are officially awesome) and a general sense of adventure that I dig. It's all very small and big at the same time. All good stuff and I hope they can keep it up.

I especially appreciate the fact they employed the services of Carl Weathers
