'The Mandalorian' Is Worth The Price Of Admission For Disney+ Alone
Good morning and Happy Disney+ Day, ladies and gentlemen!
I woke up on my own this morning, no alarm needed, like it was freaking Christmas, logged into my brand new Disney+ account through hazy eyes at 7:00am, and booted up the very first episode of ‘The Mandalorian’ so fast it’d make your head spin.
I’ve been (not so) patiently waiting the arrival of ‘The Mandalorian’ since it was first announced back in March of 2018, but in reality, it’s even been longer than that. I remember reading rumors of a live action bounty hunting show set in the Star Wars universe since the conclusion of ‘Revenge of the Sith’! George Lucas himself even announced a live-action Star Wars series entitled “Star Wars: Underworld” that sounded as such at Celebration 2005 – which obviously never saw the light of day.
It’s finally here, though, and I’m happy to tell ya it’s worth the wait. That may not mean much, coming from me, because if you pull my into the Star Wars universe and everything looks, feels, and plays like Star Wars, I’m gonna love it, but hell – I’m not the only one saying this…
‘The Mandalorian’ appears to be a hit across the board so far, and Episode 2 on Friday can’t get here soon enough after the jaw-dropping cliffhanger that closes out the first installment to Jon Favreau/Dave Filoni’s space western.
I won’t spoil anything here, especially because I know most of you guys haven’t watched it yet, but Jeff D Lowe, KenJac, and myself recorded a pretty in-depth recap and review of it that’ll be available for watching later this afternoon, so keep your eyes and ears peeled for that!!!
P.S. CUTE AS FUCK.
