But thisfranchise is no blaster from the past. Its fantastically successful films have now been followed by multiple television series set in that same galaxy far, far away.

Even though its set in deep space, The Mandalorian has as much in common with Western movies as it does with science fiction. Saloons. Bandits. Gun duels. Bounty hunters. Outlaws with a price on their heads. Space exploration as a final frontier.And a wild hero who doesnt quite belong in a lawless part of the Galaxy after the fall of the Empire.
The Science of The Mandaloriantakes you on a badass journey with a mysterious, lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, where your beskar armor will protect you from many things, but not the sight of a small, green, carnivorous humanoid with big black eyes and mysterious powers. This is the way.
