It sounds like the first live-action television series for the Star Wars franchise will be a huge hit for Disney+, as there is a lot of buzz surrounding the impending debut of Star Wars: The Mandalorian. As the new streaming service hosts a press event today, they screened a short preview of three episodes of the series for those in attendance, and the reactions are pretty strong. It sounds unlike anything we've already seen from the franchise and closer in tone to the fan-favorite spinoff movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

There's a lot riding on the success of this series, especially because it is one of the flagship launch titles for the Disney+ service and the fact that Lucasfilm plans to make more live-action Star Wars shows.

So far, it sounds like the show has what it takes to be a resounding success and could be the foundation for the Star Wars franchise as it extends beyond the big screen into live-action streaming shows. There are already plans for Rogue One and Obi-Wan Kenobi shows, one which will include Ewan McGregor returning to reprise his role as the Jedi-turned-hermit.

But what exactly are the people saying about Star Wars: The Mandalorian? Read on to find out.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian launches alongside Disney+ on November 12th.
