- "Star Wars" was perceived as an "old movie that dads or uncles watch" by the MZ generation, making it difficult to get into. However, "The Mandalorian" removes the "Star Wars" title and focuses on the story of bounty hunter Din Djarin and a green alien baby, lowering the entry barrier.
- "The Mandalorian" has a short runtime, catering to the viewing habits of modern audiences. The story of the adorable baby and Din Djarin raising it is a charming piece of content that anyone can enjoy, regardless of age or gender.
- In particular, Din Djarin is a Mandalorian, a race with a tradition of adopting war orphans. By adopting the baby, he overcomes his trauma and presents a heartwarming story of finding a new family.
There's a saying that a classic is a work that everyone knows but no one actually reads or watches anymore. In that sense, **Star Wars** is becoming a series that fits the definition of a classic. For Generation MZ, Star Wars is **an old movie that their dads or uncles watch**. Disney, which acquired Lucasfilm and the Star Wars franchise in 2012, released a new movie that reflected the times of the 2010s, but despite its commercial success, its image as an "old movie" remained. Moreover, the more than nine movies and countless spin-off animations have **raised the barriers to entry** for this over 40-year-old franchise.
The Mandalorian Still
Perhaps conscious of this, the first Star Wars work released as a Disney Plus original series **completely removed "Star Wars" from the title.** And the main character **doesn't know much or even care about the events that happened in the Star Wars series**. He is a bounty hunter who is busy making a living. As a result, the barriers to entry into the series have been broken down, and viewers around the world have been enthralled by this wandering hunter. And the green alien baby who goes on adventures with him has become a cultural icon.
The title of the series, which premiered in 2019 and has been releasing a new season every year, is **"The Mandalorian."** The series' protagonist, "Din Djarin" (Din Djarin), is a bounty hunter. Din Djarin has little interest in the politics of the galaxy (The Galaxy) covered in the Star Wars movie series. He even **"What is that?"** when he hears names like **"Jedi"** or **"Darth Vader."** Instead, he is better than anyone in his industry. He accurately finds wanted individuals and delivers them frozen alive if the client wishes.
Din Djarin's life takes a turn when he receives a request to "bring in a 50-year-old man." The "50-year-old man" was actually a **green-skinned baby** who looked about three years old. Din Djarin feels a pang of sympathy when he sees the abandoned baby. Because Din Djarin was also an orphan of war. He was raised by the **Mandalorian**, a tribe that has a tradition of adopting war orphans. He decides to adopt the child as a Mandalorian, instead of taking him to the client.
Now he has gone from being the most recognized veteran in the back alleys of the galaxy to a fugitive. But this crisis becomes an opportunity for Din Djarin to overcome his childhood trauma. He roams the galaxy with this mysterious 50-year-old baby and comes to accept him as family. This mysterious baby also gradually opens up to Din Djarin, and his secrets are gradually revealed.
The original series, which was released with the launch of Disney Plus in 2019, has many advantages. First, the episodes of this series are **short**. The shortest is less than 30 minutes, and even the longest episode doesn't exceed 50 minutes. The Mandalorian was created with the modern-day context of people watching SVOD series on smartphones in mind. Despite its heavy title, "Star Wars," the Mandalorian is **a series that's perfect for watching alone while eating or on the subway**.
And the most lethal advantage is the cute baby and the Din Djarin who raises him. The green-skinned, mysterious alien baby appeals to its cuteness throughout the series. Din Djarin, who suddenly becomes a dad from a lonely gunman roaming the universe, goes very well with this **"Baby Yoda."** Except for the last one or two episodes, most of the series is about the hilarious adventures of this space dad and cute baby. This series of cute characters adventuring in a strange world is perfect for watching in your spare time.
