The Mandalorian, Disney+’s hit new Star Wars TV series, is apparently more in demand than the likes of Stranger Things and Doctor Who.
Disney will certainly be very happy with how their first live-action Star Wars TV show has gone down with fans. The Mandalorian has proven to be a big hit with audiences, with many praising its visuals and classic Star Wars vibe.
