The Mandalorian Season 1
Overview
The Mandalorian is a 2019 space Western television series created by Jon Favreau for Disney+, set in the Star Wars universe. The first season follows a lone bounty hunter known only as "The Mandalorian" (Pedro Pascal) as he protects a young alien named Grogu (affectionately known as "Baby Yoda"). The series is set five years after the events of Return of the Jedi. The Mandalorian is a member of a warrior culture that wears distinctive T-shaped helmets and never removes them in the presence of others. He is hired to capture Grogu, but he cannot bring himself to turn him over. He goes on the run, protecting Grogu from the remnants of the Empire. The first season was a massive critical and commercial success, praised for its practical effects, its Western-inspired storytelling, and its adorable lead character, Grogu.
