That can open up the series to more themes that don’t necessarily highlight good vs. bad, and even show that there’s much more to Star Wars than Light vs. Dark.
This detail could make The Mandalorian quite a big deal for Star Wars, as it follows a title character that may not see this conflict as entirely black and white.
Such a deviation from the tradition is a big risk, though there’s no denying Disney has spared no expense looking for the best and brightest to give this adventure every shot to win folks over.
