Take a trip beyond this Earth to explore the myths of The
Mandalorian and uncover the anatomy of the newest space western in the
Star Wars Universe.
Star Wars dominates the film world. The combined box office revenue of
the Star Wars movies equates to over $10 billion, making it the
second-highest-grossing film franchise of all time. But this franchise
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. The franchise's flagship television series, and likely the
firmest fan favorite for some time to come, is The Mandalorian.
Tracing the tale of the titular bounty hunter, traveling across the
furthest reaches of that mythic galaxy, The Mandalorian has been
greatly praised and highly acclaimed for creating characters with
gravitas and originality, worlds with depth and impact, resulting in
some of the best Star Wars content ever. Even though it's 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 doesn't quite belong in a lawless
part of the galaxy after the fall of Empire.
The Science of The Mandalorian takes 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.
