With enemies closing in, the Mandalorian and The Child must constantly evade capture!
In the years following the Galactic Empire's demise, a lone bounty hunter is tasked with a seemingly straightforward assignment: locate the Child and return it to the Imperial Remnant, the remnants of the once-mighty Empire. This enigmatic youngling possesses a unique ability that could potentially shift the balance of power, making its acquisition of utmost importance. However, the bounty hunter chooses a different path, fleeing with the Child to shield it from those who seek to exploit it. This is the tale of the Mandalorian, and his desperate struggle to safeguard both the Child and himself.
This adaptation is based upon the series created and written by Jon Favreau, with additional writing by Dave Filoni, Christopher Yost, and Rick Famuyiwa.
