This morning in LA journalists were treated to almost 30 minutes of footage from the first season of The Mandalorian. The scenes shown were out of order to maintain the secrecy surrounding the show that premieres on November 12th exclusively on Disney+.
Here are what some of those that saw the footage said: –
Saw 27 minutes of @themandalorian. It’s as awesome as you want it to be. Can’t say anything specific but one scene answered a question that I don’t think has ever been explained/shown in any @starwars movie. Love that it opens up the Star Wars universe in a cool new way. pic.twitter.com/vTxC427sVi

Also it looks as expensive as it is — they didn’t skimp with this one. Spaceships, creatures, etc all in full effect. Cannot wait for full episodes. #TheMandalorian

Saw almost 30 minutes of #TheMandalorian footage this morning. It’s truly incredible. It looks like the films, feels innately Star Wars, introduces new concepts, and adds layers that people have been waiting to see for a long time. pic.twitter.com/4JVB16pMAL

Wow. #TheMandalorian is completely amazing. Saw nearly a half hour of footage from what I was told were the first three episodes. Whoever you think Nick Nolte is … the answer will surprise you. pic.twitter.com/jh3CpZnMW2

As for the footage, it really feels as much like a movie as a TV show. A lot of inspiration from old westerns and even some seemingly direct homage to Attack of the Clones.

Our man on the scene, Brian Sims, had this to say: –
Just watched footage from #TheMandalorian and it was amazing with a big Rogue One vibe for me @JediNewsUK
