THE MANDALORIAN | SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 REACTION! | First Time Watch | Star Wars begins Sam’s journey into one of the biggest Star Wars series on Disney+! Kristian Harloff has seen The Mandalorian before, but for Sam, this is her first time watching The Mandalorian — and it all starts with Chapter 1.
Join Kristian Harloff and Sam for their full The Mandalorian reaction as they meet Mando, the mysterious bounty hunter played by Pedro Pascal, and dive into this new corner of the Star Wars universe. From the gritty Western-inspired opening to the missions, creatures, action, and that unforgettable final reveal, there is plenty to discuss in The Mandalorian Season 1 Episode 1.
For Sam, everything is completely new, including the introduction of Baby Yoda! Kristian knows what’s coming, but Sam gets to experience the Baby Yoda reaction and the beginning of the Grogu story for the very first time. How will she react to one of the most iconic Star Wars reveals of the Disney+ era?
After the episode, Kristian and Sam share their thoughts and discussion on Chapter 1, Pedro Pascal as the Mandalorian, the bounty hunter storyline, the world-building, and where Sam thinks the story could go next.
