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

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

ALL of Star Wars, over 40 years of content, was made to serve the Mandalorian. This is the only Star Wars content anyone needs. Season 1 was the best Star Wars of all time, and Season 2 Episode 1 is better than all of Season 1. Therefore... this episode is the best hour of Star Wars ever filmed. Incredible special effects, brilliant score, tight writing. You're gonna love it.… 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

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.

No, I can't be bothered any more. It's like watching the playthrough of an action game, albeit a great one. But my brain needs more than just a rudimentary plotline and endless sidequests. Also, the show is humor-free, stereotyped and drags on and on. The great visuals and the cute yodaNo, I can't be bothered any more.

Also, the show is humor-free, stereotyped and drags on and on. The great visuals and the cute yoda child are not enough to keep watching. It seems to me that they have no idea how to end this show and just try to keep it going although the simplified world of Star Wars just doesn't offer enough complexity for a long-running show.… Expand

It was too much to hope S02 will improve on S01. More of the same boring thoughtless action with as little plot as they could have possible written.
It's jarring how the show can ruin every decent moment it has with a silly joke or a gag.

It's jarring how the show can ruin every decent moment it has with a silly joke or a gag.
The characters are paper thin. Baby Yoda is a little monster that will apparently eat anything including the eggs of an endangered species.

The Empire is still a joke which doesn't make a lot sense. they have zero intimidation or deterrence.
It's hard to believe they pose any kind of a threat to anyone.

Mando get pummeled or shot repeatedly through out the show but it has zero affect on him. apparently beskar is the most awesome armor in the universe and the empire has beskar so why noone else makes armor from it is strange.

The custom design in this show is unimaginative. they spent no time thinking how things should function. not everything needs to makes complete sense but they keep trying to "explain" things in very silly ways.

Another thing that bugged me is how they use X-wings as the police cruiser of the SW universe and pilots are space cops.

On the plus side, it looks great.… Expand
