If you’re looking for an adrenaline-pumping adventure, head over to Disney+ and watch the first season of the new Star Wars show “The Mandalorian.”

The show takes place on many different planets, such as Nevarro, Arvala-7, and Sorogon. Each planet has a different climate and a different nature. According to producer Jon Favreau, the show takes place five years after the fall of the empire in the sixth Star Wars movie.

The show’s protagonist is named Mandalorian (or Mando). He encounters many friends throughout the season, along with several enemies.

Starting with friends, Mando receives help from Kuill and Cara Dune as Mando escapes the dangers that approach him. The enemies consist of multiple people, but the main person who wants Mando dead is Moff Gideon, a character that will stop at nothing to round up people to get “the child.”

The central conflict for Mando is to avoid getting killed. Everyone is after him because he has a prized possession that is worth a lot of money. There are many intense fights that Mando encounters, and he faces life-threatening situations multiple times.

Not only did we enjoy the plot, but the actors did a phenomenal job in playing their roles, which improved the overall quality of the show.

Actor Pedro Pascal plays Mando, whose body and verbal language is so clear and concise that the audience can tell the emotions that the character experiences. Therefore, Pascal portrayed a brave and smart, yet emotional character.

While Carl Weathers may be well-known for his role as Apollo Creed in the “Rocky” movies, he plays bounty guild leader Greef Karga. Karga appears greedy at the beginning but later forms a connection with Mando and realizes the value of working together.  Weathers executes his role effectively due to his well-spoken dialogue that demonstrates his character’s leadership qualities as a guild leader.

One fan of the show is math teacher Joe Nidy, who admits he was impressed with the show’s visual elements.  He said, “I’m amazed by the production [of the show] and how that they can afford to do some of the things they do: cinema and tv.”

While “The Mandalorian” may be a unique and unpredictable show, Nidy believes Mando’s character is similar to Walter White’s character in “Breaking Bad.”  “[Mando’s] gotta make a decision that’s against his code, but he’s doing it because he thinks that’s what’s best for the child,” said Nidy.

Despite the whole first season was enjoyable to watch due to its action-packed and unpredictable storyline, the show could be better.  We would like to see the producers give viewers more context that explains the motives and decisions of the characters, such as providing flashbacks and multiple storylines.

After watching “The Mandalorian”, we would give the show a 9.5 out of 10 Baby Yodas. We believe that the show has room to improve but overall was excellent.
