The Science of the Mandalorian : The Anatomy of a Space Western
Paperback Edition: 1
Star Wars dominates the film world. The combined box office revenue of the Star Wars movies equates to over $10 billion, making it the second-highest-grossing film franchise of all time. But this franchise is no blaster from the past. Its fantastically successful films have now been followed by multiple television series set in that same galaxy far, far away. The franchise's flagship television series, and likely the firmest fan favorite for some time to come, is The Mandalorian.
Tracing the tale of the titular bounty hunter, traveling across the furthest reaches of that mythic galaxy, The Mandalorian has been greatly praised and highly acclaimed for creating characters with gravitas and originality, worlds with depth and impact, resulting in some of the best Star Wars content ever. Even though it's set in deep space, The Mandalorian has as much in common with Western movies as it does with science fiction. Saloons. Bandits. "Gun" duels. Bounty hunters. Outlaws with a price on their heads. Space exploration as a "final frontier." And a wild hero who doesn't quite belong in a lawless part of the galaxy after the fall of Empire
