The Disney+ launch is a mess, and The Mandalorian, its marquee show, is a massive disappointment GlobeArts

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Disney+, the huge and much anticipated streaming service, launched Tuesday in the U.S., Canada and, for some reason, The Netherlands.

Disney released a statement:"The consumer demand for Disney+ has exceeded our high expectations. We are working to quickly resolve the current user issue. We appreciate your patience."The launch of Disney+ was marred by error messages such as this one.Patience? Are you mad? This is an era when consumers expect instant access with a click. The sound of frustrated moaning across North America may only have been drowned out by the sound of cackling coming from Netflix execs.

The adventures of the Mandalorian are set “after the fall of the Empire,” which means it takes place after whatever it is that happened in. This Mandalorian fella is a bounty hunter, going about the galaxy finding varmints, for a fee. He’s a Clint Eastwood type, saying little and fast with the firearms.

Stuff happens, most in what looks like a mash-up of a medieval village and a town in the Old West, as imagined by Hollywood in 1923. Anti-hero fella takes an assignment to capture a person or critter out in the badlands of the galaxy. He accepts the assignment from a dubious guy who has a passel of stormtroopers protecting him. Off goes our anti-hero on his mission to the badlands.
