Do you remember how you felt when those Scout Troopers punched Baby Yoda when he was in the bag? Angry, but there wasn’t much you can do about it. Having a little green alien buddy around is adorable, but also adds higher stakes and emotional investment. Is the Mandalorian walking into a trap, or is he just going to pick up a bounty? Sometimes, it’s hard to tell. It takes place mostly on Outer Rim worlds - where the boundary between safety and danger is razor thin, and dangerous types lurk just off screen. The setting established in The Mandalorian lends itself to conflict. Replace the Tuskens with Native Americans, and the settlers with Americans, and the Mando with a lone cowboy, and you’ve got the plot of ye olde Western.

Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, George Lucas, and all the Star Wars royalty have stated many times that the films are similar to westerns or samurai films.

If you're a fan of The Mandalorian, I'm positive that you will love this game, and why, 17 years later, it’s still worth picking up this game and playing the whole damn thing. You should pick up one of the best Star Wars games ever made: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Sure, you can pick up some sweet merch on Mando Mondays, maybe even grab some early gifts. There’s a week between each, and my question to you is: how can you fill that time with as much Star Wars as possible? You’ve watched The Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 1, and you’re waiting for the second episode.
