The CheckOut Review: The Mandalorian at Ben's Bargains

Update [11/15]: The second episode is out! The show airs every Friday through December 27th (8 episodes total).

We just reviewed the first episode of The Mandalorian, the flagship launch title on the new streaming service Disney+ that launched today (free 7-day trial).

Produced by Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, The Mandalorian is set 5 years after Return of the Jedi and looks to be a bit of a departure from the Disney-made movie sequels.

So, what is that old guy and the doctor planning to do with that thing he rescued? Rebuild? or dissect?

It was okay. Not as good as I expected, but the ending leaves a lot open.

Worth a watch but don't expect great dialogue. It's a western in the star wars universe.

More good than bad. Effects seem just-right for the product. ST:Disco is a bit over the top. The digital effects are used only when needed. Hard to judge a whole series based upon on episode, but I'm not tuning it out yet.

Solid start. Reminded me of an old western style movie, but with lasers

Good show so far. Have enjoyed both episodes to date. Just wish they would have released them all at once.

I really want to see this. Looks interesting. Will probably wait until Christmas and do a 7 day trial and hopefully be able to see them all for free :-)

Episodes are on the short side. I'm hoping that means more of them.
