Chapter 1: The Mandalorian Ratings & Reviews
We Have a Hulk
Nicola Austin
"Chapter 1" is a visually stunning, solid season premiere full of potential, with director Favreau opting for a big budget original tale whilst expanding upon the SW universe.
Decider
Walter Chaw
As pilots go, it's not terrible.
NPR
Eric Deggans
"The Mandalorian," though, is a well-crafted, compelling series that's the perfect ambassador for Disney Plus - an old favorite wrapped in a new story that leaves you hungry for the next episode.
Newsday
Verne Gay
Every screen shot locks you comfortably into the familiar "Star Wars" canon, but somehow it all feels fresh and new.
The Atlantic
David Sims
The impressive production values, however, can't cover up a relatively skimpy plot. "Chapter 1" of The Mandalorian is a thin piece of setup stretched over 38 minutes.
Rolling Stone
Alan Sepinwall
"Fun" is also probably the best word I can apply to the compact Mandalorian premiere. Favreau and Filoni do an effective job introducing us to this corner of the franchise, and to the rough, desperate circumstances of the title character.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
That's one nice thing about "The Mandalorian": As conceived and written by Jon Favreau, the series immediately shows signs of a sharp sense of humor about itself, which has always been a key ingredient to any successful Star Wars outing.
AV Club
Katie Rife
So while The Mandalorian's debut is pretty thin, it's also got a lot of wide open spaces to expand into.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
With respect to The Mandalorian itself, [Jon] Favreau and his fellow writers get the 39-minute launch off to a decent start in large part by sticking to the Lucasfilm checklist.
Slate
Sam Adams
39 minutes of mediocre Star Wars.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Keith Phipps
The next challenge: making it feel like Star Wars. Based on its first episode, The Mandalorian rises to that one, too, digging into the seedy underbelly glimpsed in Episode IV's cantina scene and throughout Rogue One.
Hollywood Reporter
Dan Fienberg
At least for a while, the Mandalorian and IG-11 form a bantering, gunfighting duo as the pilot begins aggressively aping Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, which is about as good a thing to echo as I can imagine.
Variety
Caroline Framke
Less concerned with capturing the magic of Star Wars than roughing it up a bit. Even when The Mandalorian lags, its swerve from a more expected route makes it more intriguing as an entryway into a galaxy far, far away.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
[The premiere is] good enough to keep me watching, forgettable enough that I doubt I'll want to watch this specific episode again.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Happily, the show's brisk, handsomely produced 39-minute premiere is a great deal of fun, giving fans reason to have a good feeling about this.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Ed Power
Not that this detracts from the charm of a series that has started in relatively low key fashion but seems certain to leave everyone, and not just Star Wars ultra-diehards, wanting more.
Los Angeles Times
Lorraine Ali
"The Mandalorian" pulls no punches. It's "Star Wars"/Disney right down to its weird sand creatures and blighted outposts, and a safe-but-entertaining start for the media giant's exploratory mission into a largely untamed universe.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Jen Chaney
Whether it's worth actually paying to subscribe for The Mandalorian alone, or whether the series as a whole is genuinely good, is impossible to gauge from watching a single episode. But that single episode suggests there's at least some promise here.
Entertainment Weekly
Darren Franich
You won't go broke imitating The Walking Dead, but the climax of the Mandalorian premiere cut strangely between misshapen tones, from laser-cannon gundowns to a cute baby melting even the coldest heart.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
Despite taking place in a universe millions of fans are acquainted with, "Mandalorian" doesn't spend enough time explaining its own world. Attempts to establish a time and place are clunky.
