Well, its finally here! Disney+ released to the world this morning with it comes the majority of Disney’s lineup. The Mandalorian is one such offering. And it looks like we could be in for something special.
The opening scene should look familiar to anyone who watched promotional material for The Mandalorian. The entire scene takes place in or around a nondescript cantina in the outer rim of space. The Mandalorian is looking for a bounty, and he’s not the only one hunting.
Throughout the first episode they do a great job of setting up the Mandalorian’s world for the remaining episodes. With that said, there are still a few twists and many Easter eggs for fans to find. For fans young and old, The Mandalorian is the most “Star Wars” experience released since the Original Trilogy. Even those unfamiliar with the Star Wars universe could find the space-western aesthetic interesting enough to stick around for future episodes. Fortunately there’s enough here to keep you coming back next week.
While I thoroughly enjoyed the episode, my biggest complaint would be the length. Clocking in at a little over 40 minutes, the worst criticism I can submit is the episode is too short. That said, it’s nice to want more of something and that be the biggest gripe. I would have liked to see more location descriptions and some of the supporting characters could use a little backstory, but I have a feeling these things will come to pass as the season progresses.
Droids are as much a part of the Star Wars universe as the Force. Taika Waititi has shown great comedic timing in other projects, and it’s nice to see the droid play it straight and still be humorous. Droids are sighted throughout the episode and are sure to catch the eye of the would-be Easter egg hunter.
