Disney Gallery: Star Wars: The Mandalorian is sort of a group of DVD featurettes transformed into series form as it takes an in-depth look at the behind-the-scenes process behind and creation of the show The Mandalorian. This was interesting.
Givien that this was a highly expensive and ambitious show, going for a movie-like quality, you learn about the tremendous amount of effort given to make this all come together, including one really innovative technique.
Be prepared that there isn't as much behind-the-scenes footage in this as you'd think. A lot of this is the showrunners, producers, directors, writers, actors, etc. sitting at a table and talking about the show. I felt this would slow things down, but the roundtable discussion format runs pretty smoothly. Everyone involved shows passion for what they did. And don't get me wrong, there is some interesting behind-the-scenes footage. It's more prevalent in the later episodes when the focus is more on the look and sound of Star Wars.
Showrunners Jon Favreau (director of such films as Elf, Jungle Book, and Iron Man) and Dave Filoni (known for his work on the Star Wars animated shows) sort of run the narration and discussion and provide an infectious love for the world of Star Wars. Expect to be surprised by a couple of big name directors on this.
Overall, if you're not a big on behind-the-scenes stuff, this isn't going to change your mind. Still, I think fans of The Mandalorian or Star Wars in general may appreciate this.
