The Mandalorian is one of the best pieces of Star Wars media to come out in recent times, and is straight up an amazing show in its own right, let alone a Star Wars show.
While I will admit that I found Season 3 to be weaker than 1 & 2, overall the show is still an enjoyable, fun and exciting entry into the Star Wars saga.
Season 1 gives us everything that we love about Star Wars. It introduces us to memorable characters, beautiful and intriguing locations, stunning visual effects and fun action sequences. It also expands the Star Wars lore, and really shows just how vast the galaxy far, far away can be.
Season 2 ups the scale, and continues the journey started in the previous season, only with some familiar faces that die-hard franchise fans will recognize from other Star Wars media, but are introduced in a way that makes them interesting for a newcomer as well. And the finale is one of the most incredible and emotional experiences ever released on TV, Star Wars or not.
Season 3 drops in quality for me, but still has the charm and adventure that we've come to expect from the series. It's reliance on viewers familiarity with other shows may come at the expense of the more casual viewer however. Also, make sure to watch The Book of Boba Fett before diving into season 3. Or at least the last 3 episodes.
Anyway, The Mandalorian has proved that it can entertain and excite us, and it's expansion of the Star Wars galaxy makes it a fun ride for anyone who enjoys a good action, adventure series, with some sci-fi and fantasy elements to it.
9/10 - Amazing.
