What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though its character building leaves something to be desired, "Chapter 1" is a visual feast with enough sense of adventure to inspire hope that the force may be strong with The Mandalorian.

"The Mandalorian," though, is a well-crafted, compelling series that's the perfect ambassador for Disney Plus - an old favorite wrapped in a new story that leaves you hungry for the next episode. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au 11/20/2019
It's a strong start to an expensive series with the world of expectations. It's also, quite a lot of fun. What more can you ask for? Go to Full Review Verne Gay Newsday 11/19/2019
