Bryce Dallas Howard standing in front of a clapper with The Mandalorian
Nowadays, The Mandalorian is a massive Star Wars event. Fans eagerly await new episodes of the space opera series, and it seems as if every new installment connects to some other portion of the larger Star Wars universe. From the resurrection of Return of the Jedi-era Luke Skywalker to the return of Ahsoka Tano , the series has almost singlehandedly restored the franchise to its most iconic roots. But in the first season, all of that was different.
From the initial introduction between the titular "Mando" and Cara Dune in the tavern to the battle sequence at the end, "Sanctuary" feels truly like a Space Western in all the best ways. Evoking similar stories like Firefly, this episode thrives when leaning into the very tropes that make up the Western genre.
When talking with Vulture about her directorial debut, Bryce Dallas Howard spoke about this unrealized potential. "In Westerns," she explained, "there’s an aspect of forbidden love, and sometimes that alone gives you enough tension to play a romance out, where you don’t really actually ever have to necessarily pay it off." It's true that this is how Westerns often end. We see it clearly in Shane, Pale Rider, just about every previous example.
Season 1 of 'The Mandalorian' Set the Series Apart From the Rest of Star Wars Close The first season of The Mandalorian is a treasure. With plenty of standalone adventures to choose from, it doesn't rely too heavily on the overall plot, nor is it as serialized as future installments.
