As the launch of Disney Plus has arrived, there have been many fan favorites that have been released, including instant classics such as the marvel movies and thirty seasons of The Simpsons. However, there has been one show in particular that has attracted more attention than anything else on the platform. 
The Mandolorian is a new spin-off series from the Star Wars universe. After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another Mandalorian armor-wearing warrior emerged in the Star Wars galaxy. The Mandalorian setting is after the fall of the Empire, and before the emergence of the First Order. It follows the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic.
This show has released seven chapters of its first season so far, and the craze has all been about one certain character. The unexpected baby Yoda has entered the series as a bounty prize by being captured by the Mandalorian. He works for the guild and takes these jobs as his source of income. But this little green guy has won the hearts of millions as the show revolves around protecting him. 
This is a fantastic show to binge watch in one sitting or watch over a long period of time, with its episodes being around thirty to forty minutes long each.  Each episode consists of captivating scenes and plenty of action that will leave you on the edge of your seat for the entire screening.
Trying to keep his life in order, while simultaneously taking care of his “kid,” lead him to go on plenty of unsuspected journeys throughout the galaxy.  As he keeps baby Yoda from all harm, who knows where the next episode will take him?
