Star Wars: The Mandalorian (D+) | Theatrical Release - May 22, 2026

Watched episode 7 again with the gf last night:

Spoiler: show

So Favreau said that we would be seeing the "beginnings" of the First Order. I wonder of Giddeon's group in episode 7 is that... New tech, clean uniforms, Giddeon wanting baby yoda for "reasons." Also, I thought it was pretty cool that they included that troop transport design from Rebels

[Weltall]

It seems pretty clear that this group works for the Emperor / Snoke and want Baby Yoda to help keep Emperor alive / create Snoke. Very interesting storyline so far.

The creation of the First Order was covered in Battlefront II which is canon. Spoilers below if you never played/want to know:

Spoiler: show

Palpatine had a contingency plan in place for his death/fall of the Empire in which several of his most elite/trusted generals & crew would escape to unknown regions and disappear and hide while rebuilding their forces before revealing themselves. The process took approximately 25ish years and they only revealed themselves about a year or so before the events of The Force Awakens. Unknown if Starkiller Base was a Palpatine idea as well or something they decided on their own. Rise of Skywalker May reveal that.

Aw man, need next episode now.

I have spoken.

[kuronosan]

[Salodin]

Favreau says the idea to keep Baby Yoda a secret and not do any merch ahead of time was given to him indirectly by Donald Glover while they were working on The Lion King. Glover commented about how few surprises there are anymore in media and that people love them, he cited how Beyoncé will randomly drop albums with no hype or pre-release. So, you all have Donald Glover to thank for not having Yoda plushies this holiday season!

What a finale.

[Tyrath]

Who would've thought that the satisfying Star Wars ending we'd be getting in Dec 2019 wasn't from the movie but from the D+ show.


Also I guess we never saw whos boots we saw in ep 5?

Loved how they made fun of Stormtrooper's notoriously shit aim. This show is definitely the best thing Star Wars since the OT.

That's the kind of fan service I like.

[Salodin]

The entire opening scene with the storm troops, that like 2min sequence, was better than the majority of the new movie lol. What a conclusion, I daresay perfectly done. It's so refreshing to have competent show runners helming this compared to the shit show of the new trilogy directed by JJ/Rian.

Spoiler: show

It's kind of a copout showing us Mandos face though. Really wanted that saved for a series finale.
