This live action SciFi series from Disney+ has everyone cooing over Baby Yoda.
All we really know is the tiny, adorable creature is the same species as Yoda and has already displayed a clear cut connection to the force.
The Mandalorian is a bit of a mystery. We know he’s a bounty hunter. We’ve seen him display some kick-ass martial arts techniques. We’ve seen him fight off scores of opponents with skill and accuracy.
What we haven’t seen yet, as of Episode 6, is his face. “Mando” has not removed his giant metal face helmet. I am not even sure the same guy has played Mando in all 6 episodes. I think it must be hard for an actor to convey emotion with his giant metal face helmet on.
That being said, I like the series. The special effects do their job. The references to the old Star Wars movies are fun. The bar in Los Isleys was a great throwback to the 1977 first Luke/Han meeting.
Unlike other series now streaming, Disney+ is dropping one new
episode a week, like old fashioned television in the pre-Netflix era.
Bottom line: We SciFi fans are starving for good or even mildly good series. We’ve had reruns and encore presentations. We NEED some new and exciting material, so I’m sticking with Mando!
Hugs,
