There has been an awakening on Disney+.

The Mandalorian, the first live-action Star Wars TV series that debuted two episodes this week, is appropriately easy for newcomers to penetrate; just watch it as a standalone space western and you're mostly good to go. But those who wish to dig a little deeper will also be rewarded, as the show is jam-packed with Easter eggs and tiny moments that satisfyingly build upon Star Wars' rich lore.
