The Mandalorian is an American space western set in the Star Wars fictional universe. The show is created by Jon Favreau and is the first live-action Star Wars show. The Mandalorian takes place five years after Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and twenty-five years before Star Wars: The Force Awakens.[1] The show follows lone bounty hunter Din Djarin as he travels the galaxy with Grogu, protecting him from the grasp of the remaining Galactic Empire. Jon Favreau was announced as the series' series writer in March 2018 as the first Star Wars show to premier on Disney+.[2] The show has received immense praise for its take on Star Wars which promoted the green light for a second season which premiered on Disney+ October 30, 2020.
