For my kid it was always preferable to the onslaught of only Darth Vader, Stormtrooper and other generic OT merch which was all we saw before

Now it’s time to look forward to what the future holds, with the movie in our sights and more experiences that we can enjoy together thanks to this story, these characters and this entire franchise, all of which have meant so much. Happy Birthday, Mando!

This is an impressive achievement by Favreau, Filoni and all who have worked on this show, something that I think has gone under-appreciated so far. Of course, the show launched live-action SW television and brought along some technical achievements similar to the trilogies.

There have been many hours of imaginative play, crafts, storytelling and other activities inspired by this show that have brought us much joy. We got my parents to watch with us, and all of a sudden three generations of family all watched The Mandalorian together with equal enjoyment.

This ushered in a common ground of entertainment and stories that the whole family enjoyed together, our own little Clan of Three digesting these modern myths with wonder and delight, in our own individual ways and also together. Since then, it has been a constant beacon for us.

Once we exhausted our many rewatches of Season 1, we looked to some of the other content to see if we could scratch the itch, and found a treasure trove of shows, movies, video games and books that would come to sustain us through the impending Covid years and beyond.

It helped solidify and encourage aspects of myself and my relationship to my kid in ways that I’m not sure would’ve happened (at least in quite the same way) if it hadn’t been for this show. It also got my whole household into the Star Wars fold full time.

With our young toddler, we could relate to both the characters and the deeper themes. Art can have a way of helping us learn more about ourselves, the world, and our interactions within it. The Mandalorian ended up helping me through my time as a new father and all that entails.

By the end of the first episode, everything had lined up. I was hooked, and I remember “rewinding” back to the part where Mando blasts IG-11 to save Grogu a couple times, just to savor it. By the end of “The Sin,” we were all in. The show appeared at the right time for us.

In fall 2019, my wife and I were parents of an almost-two-year-old. D+ had just launched and we figured there might be some stuff our daughter would be into, like Moana, Frozen, etc. We were up late one night and decided to give the brand new show The Mandalorian a try.

I fell away from the franchise for a decade or so, and some other sci-fi properties held my interest. I still had my SW stuff though, and thought about it sometimes, but hadn’t kept up much and I suppose I just hadn’t hit the time and place where everything lined up yet. Until…

I also remember seeing The Phantom Menace in theaters in ’99. After that, my memories of Star Wars drop off a bit. I wouldn’t categorize me or my family as huge fans at that time; we all enjoyed it but it was also just a huge part of the culture in those years and hard to miss.

Like most 90s kids, I was familiar with SW. I remember RotJ being watched often on TV, and we had the VHS SE set. My bedroom bookshelves had some SW books (incl. the Young Jedi Knights series), and my siblings and I would turn the lights off and play with our toy lightsabers.

I have been waiting eagerly for something like this. Seems ripe for storytelling

I loved that book. Nice epilogue to the High Republic and it’s my favorite version of Vernestra.

Exactly. I feel like that applies for 90% of the “criticisms” I see these days, especially about Mando for some reason.

even that has a different scope than when he had the crest.

At this point, Din was not primarily focused on bounty hunting. He was trying to procure a ship for two reasons: 1) to see Grogu (eventually leading to Grogu returning, of course) and 2) going to Mandalore to redeem himself. Din doesn’t think about bounty hunting again until the end of S3, and
