The Mandalorian Is Still The Only Star Wars TV Show To Accomplish One Incredible Feat

The Mandalorian is the only Star Wars live-action TV show to have found incredible success without relying on one important aspect of the franchise. The Mandalorian jump-started a new era for Star Wars. Not only did it dive into a portion of the canon Star Wars timeline that was woefully underexplored, but it also served as a jumping-off point for a new type of storytelling. Previously, all of Star Wars TV shows had been animated, but The Mandalorian allowed Lucasfilm to try a more interconnected approach to live-action narratives, with The Mandalorian being followed up by spinoffs like The Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka.
