While fans are still going to have to wait a while before 'The Mandalorian' Season 2 releases in October, this 'Star Wars' Day offers a special treat to its fans, with an eight-episode documentary about the making of 'The Mandalorian' Season 1, from interviews with the cast, the creators, the crew, and of course, Baby Yoda.

Release Date

'Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian' released on May 4th, on what is largely considered around the world to be 'Star Wars' day. 

Plot

Each of the docuseries' eight episodes will focus on a different aspect of the show, from behind-the-scenes moments to exclusive clips and deleted scenes, interview with the cast and creators, a closer look at the fight choreography, initial concepts, costume design and of course, the robotics that went into the animatronic doll that stole the world's heart: Baby Yoda. 'The Mandalorian' was a mix of practical effects and CGI, a unique blend that set the series apart from most big-budget TV series and contributed to its distinctive look, and the series offers audiences an important look at how it all came together.
