Collider Liz Shannon Miller

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

The cinematography, creature work (both CGI and practical), and the action direction in “The Marshal” are all excellent: sweeping, exciting, and gorgeous to look at. ... The adventure story was compelling as well. Read full review

It’s a strong first episode, a case study for the things that make The Mandalorian such a consistently entertaining series. Chief among those is its economical approach to storytelling. Read full review

Far from resting on its laurels, though, if the balance of Season 2 can match the promise of this first episode, it's still easy to have a good feeling about this. Read full review

The Playlist Brian Tallerico

It’s a show that keeps threatening to lose one of those demographics—to become too much of an echo of things done better before or err on the other side and alienate the fanbase. The season premiere of “The Mandalorian” promises an even more confident threading of that needle. Read full review

Clint Worthington

While the season premiere feels like a story even the show has already tackled in its scant eight episodes, the show’s stripped-down space adventures are still here in fine form. Read full review

Waiting for “The Mandalorian” to get better is like waiting for nostalgia to finally get old. Read full review

They blown my mind away with awesomeness and there is not a single weak episode. The final episode is some of the best Star Wars experience I had in many years. 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 is so enjoyable from beginning till end. The episodic format feels like a classic tv-show, rounding up its own little adventure. But once again it slowly lays the foundations for a grand finale. The more pronounced fan-service is something I really enjoyed.

For me, Star Wars feels a bit like poetry, and this season rhymed on so many classic moments in a stunning way. I was thinking about giving a 9, but the fact that both my wife and I have been humming the theme song all weekend long convinced me that this is worth a 10.… Expand

Amazing series, this is how you do Star Wars, not like the terrible new trilogies.

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

Cheesy, bad physics, injuries don’t make any sense, story is boring, combat is terrible. There are watchable parts and the end of the season is alright but this show is massively overrated

The storyline and dialogs are very weak. It is a shame that nobody cares and cool CGI and cute Yoda are enough to keep most audience engaged
