Critics gush over first look at the Disney+ Star Wars show, 'The Mandalorian'
Looks like Star Wars' first-ever live-action television series is going to be a slam dunk.
Critics caught a glimpse of Disney+'s The Mandalorian — due in November — at a Disney-hosted press event on Saturday, and they shared their initial reactions with fans via social media.
Although these critics saw only 27 minutes of footage, comprised of disjointed scenes edited together to avoid spoilers, many felt confident in vouching for the show. Seemingly a dream Star Wars addition, The Mandalorian aims to answer long-held questions about the franchise, while expanding upon the universe in inventive style.
