Season 2 Review: Yes, Baby Yoda remains as cute as ever, but more importantly, the show’s titular anti-hero will do what’s right when the time is right, but isn’t afraid of grey areas in other circumstances. In those moments, The Mandalorian is at its boldest and most fascinating. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Left with mostly just his voice to act with, Pascal gives Mando some hints of snarkiness, if not humor; by and large, he comes off as a business-first ballbuster. (And truth be told, no one wants a quippy Mandalorian.) Weathers and Herzog fit comfortably into this world, in their brief intros, and it’d be great to see more of Nolte’s Kuiil. Read full review

Season 2 Review: If this involves a little too much recycling of the series’ own tropes – the narrative is a supersized remake of season one’s second episode – that doesn’t matter much when the special effects are so impressive and when Olyphant’s naughty cheek is such a good odd-couple fit with the deadpan monomania of Pedro Pascal, who continues to give his lead performance its nuance without the use of any facial expressions.

Season 1 Review: Happily, the show's brisk, handsomely produced 39-minute premiere is a great deal of fun, giving fans reason to have a good feeling about this. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The premiere is still fun and packed with technical marvels that devoted Star Wars fans never could have even fathomed appearing on TV a decade ago. It's just small. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Yes, “The Mandalorian’s” pilot episode is a formally sound 39 minutes of television; even with an extra nine minutes, the half-hour series moves with assurance, and looks by most attributes to be a well-polished new piece of the franchise. But for anyone who’s seen enough Marvel movies to grow tired of their formula, or who was irked by how often “The Force Awakens” relies on nostalgia over originality, “The Mandalorian” may evoke different feelings. It’s not sound, it’s predictable. It’s not surprising, it’s calculated. Read full review

Season 1 Review: 39 minutes of mediocre Star Wars. The Mandalorian, which was written by Jon Favreau and directed by The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels veteran Dave Filoni, looks great—or at least very much like something on which Disney spent one-eighth of the eight-episode season’s $100 million budget. But it feels uninspired from its very first scene. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finally something really well done by Disney. I kind of lost hope with their Star Wars making capabilities but man did they do a great first episode. You finally got to se a bounty droid which you have only seen in the animated Star Wars series. And the main character is such a badass. Just what Star Wars needs(because they literary killed of all the fools characters....only chewie) good job and keep upp the good work and don’t fail me with rise of skywalker… Expand

This series is a breath of fresh air after the garage that's been released from Disney since acquiring the Star Wars IP. I just hope that the Kathleen Kennedy infection doesn't spread to The Mandalorian. If they can keep her hands off, this show has a bright future.

The episode begins perhaps slightly too low with minimal development...followed by a middle that is perhaps slightly too rushed with some sequences coming off sloppy...but then something happens and it finds proper footing. The episode was kept simple and to the point clocking in at 40 minutes... which is just about enough time to establish the universe and profession we follow our protagonist traversing, but perhaps not enough time to establish heart or investment. At first, admittedly, it doesn't seem like there's much under the mask for a titular character. However, by the time we reach the closing credits we realize there's definitely a person behind that cold gaze and dry dialogue, and that this series is clearly about exploring who that person is... as well as the implications his own developments may have on the universe around him. As Star Wars' first leap into live-action series, so far so good-enough. A "western" set in the Star Wars universe sounds good on paper and I'm fairly optimistic that it'll look good on my screen too.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Mandalorian. A safe but middling effort.

While we are only two episodes in at the time of this review, I can say I have enjoyed The Mandalorian. While it's good, it's far from great. This is typical safe Kathleen Kennedey PG Star Wars. Does just enough to satisfy die hard Star Wars fans but not enough to make it something special to the common viewer. After the Solo movie disappointed with it's more gritty PG-13 rating helped reinforce their tried and true toned down kids demographic. Some over the top, almost unbelievable moments and a baby yoda creature spice up the first two episodes but toned down violence is almost laughable. If you are a Star Wars fan this is will be a entertaining and enjoyable jump back in. If your not then this show will leave a lock lacking in it's current state.

My dream is a gritty, dark, tragic more adult focused story and plot. Something more in line with GoT style series. I wish they'd take the risk, focusing on younger audience is fine but leaves a big, older market wanting something more.… Expand
