The original “Mandalorian” series made its debut on Disney+ on November 12, 2019, coinciding with the launch of the streaming service. Being the first live-action “Star Wars” TV show, it played a pivotal role, attracting over ten million subscribers within the first day. The novelty lay in the fact that this franchise, long associated with cinema, was now streaming into people’s homes. Interestingly, “The Mandalorian” surpassed expectations and proved to be much more successful than anticipated. While “The Rise of Skywalker,” the final chapter of the Skywalker Saga, received unfavorable reviews and lukewarm responses in cinemas, the first season of “The Mandalorian”, with its weekly creature themes and instantly beloved character Grogu (initially known as ‘Baby Yoda’), became a popular choice for Disney viewers.
