In a galaxy that feels surprisingly close to home, the launch of *The Mandalorian* on Disney+ marked a new era for Star Wars fans. The series not only introduced the world to the adorable Baby Yoda, whose merchandise sold out almost instantly, but also showcased Pedro Pascal in the role of a reluctant surrogate father. This show, along with others that followed, breathed fresh life into the Star Wars universe, offering a much-needed respite after the divisive sequel trilogy. These new live-action series have captivated audiences with thrilling adventures that enrich the Star Wars lore and legacy.
