The Mandalorian is now available in Spain
The first Star Wars-based live-action series, The Mandalorian, tells the story of a mysterious bounty hunter known as the Mandalorian, a celebrity in his trade and trusted by the galaxy's most celebrated bondsmen when it is time to capture a fugitive. But soon he will be involved in a mission of dubious ethics …
The plot of The Mandalorian is placed between two of the main films of the first and third cinematographic trilogy, that is, its events take place between Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and Episode VII: Rebirth of the Force. Thus, the series is worth numerous references to the Star Wars universe, specifically among the last quests of the Empire after the victory of the Rebels in Episode VI and before what we saw in Episode VII.
The Mandalorian stars Chilean actor Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones, Narcos, Wonder Woman 1984) in the role of the Mandalorian, along with other performers such as Carl Weathers, Gina Carano or Giancarlo Esposito, among others, with the filmmaker and actor. Jon Favreau as showrunner for the series. The directors of each of the 8 episodes that make up the first season of The Mandalorian are:
- 1 × 1 Pilot Chapter | Dave Filoni
- 1 × 2 El Niño | Rick Famuyiwa
- 1 × 3 The Sin | Deborah Chow
- 1 × 4 The Sanctuary | Bryce Dallas
- 1 × 5 The Gunman | Dave Filoni
- 1 × 6 The Prisoner | Rick Famuyiwa
- 1 × 7 Settling Accounts | Deborah Chow
- 1 × 8 Redemption | Taika Waititi
The Child
At this point, it cannot be considered a spoiler due to the great media impact of a certain character known as The Child or El Niño, popularly called Baby Yoda. Without going into storyline guts, The Child becomes the main axis on which the different events of the series revolve, a young being belonging to the same species as Master Yoda and who begins to demonstrate great expertise in the use of Strength. What adventures await El Niño with the Mandalorian?
Is it necessary to see the Star Wars saga before The Mandalorian?
No, it is not necessary, the series works perfectly as an independent product, although it is recommended to know the context of its universe and the numerous references made to it in all episodes. On the other hand, Disney already announced that the second season would arrive at Disney + at the end of 2020, since it is currently in the post-production phase. At the moment there are no details about his plot, beyond that Jon Favreau himself joins the production also as a director.
How to watch The Mandalorian in Spain with Disney +
Unfortunately, The Mandalorian has not reached Spain with its eight episodes available since its premiere, so it will not be possible to see all the chapters in one run. Thus, the first two episodes are available on Disney + and Movistar from March 24, 2020, while the third premieres on Friday, March 27. From that date on, every Friday a new episode will be released or unlocked on Disney + until the last one, one per week.
