The highly entertaining new Star Wars series, “The Mandalorian,” is one of the main attractions of the Disney+ originals. 

Released on November 12, 2019, the series has been highly enjoyed with only eight episodes. It is an action and adventure fiction series. “The Mandalorian” is the first live-action Star Wars TV series starring Pedro Pascal as a lone gunfighter and bounty hunter in the outer reaches of the galaxy. Other actors include Gina Carano, Giancarlo Esposito, Carl Weathers, Nick Nolte, and Taika Waitit. The music for the series was composed by ‎Ludwig Göransson. 

The show is about a lone gunfighter who makes his way through the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic. The Mandalorian, similar to Boba Fett, is a bounty hunter who kills people who committed crimes and in return receives money. Ethan Lim, a seventh grader attending McAuliffe Middle School comments, “I think the Mandalorian is very cool.”     

One day he gets offered an expensive and special bounty to go to the planet Arvala-7, and that is when he finds Baby Yoda, a fan-favorite character. Most people adore Baby Yoda because he is cute. Richie Guthrie, a seventh grader attending McAuliffe Middle School states, “I love baby Yoda.” 

After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe known as The Mandalorian who is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. The series depicts a lone bounty hunter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.

Many people like this show because of Baby Yoda or because it is live-action and they are waiting for more, but from what most of us have learned, nothing is forever great.
