Disney released the first episode of their new television series, The Mandalorian, today. It was excellent!
It's pretty much a pure space western, with a well-done protagonist, and an interesting set up. There are so many small touches that just work. I loved the bit where the Mandalorian refuses to be paid in Imperial credits since the Empire is gone, and settles for a lesser amount in Calamari currency. The makers are content to let their world-building speak for itself, without feeling the need to state everything.
I strongly recommend The Mandalorian. It's possibly the best Star Wars since the original trilogy.
I enjoyed it too.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear! Hopefully they keep up the quality of the first episode.
DeleteIf only they launched Disney Plus in more than three countries...
ReplyDeleteYeah, I imagine a large number of non-American fans will resort to piracy.
DeleteUK launch date is March 31 2020, provisionally.
ReplyDeleteOuch! I am surprised that they didn't try for a world-wide launch. Though for media, negotiating all the broadcasting rights is probably a huge hassle.
