Oh, I know you’re ready for this!
Fans have shown so much love for The Child—aka Baby Yoda—and it’s easy to see why. He’s irresistibly cute. Now Disney+ has something extra special for Mandalorian fans.
Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian is an eight-part documentary series coming to Disney+. New episodes will premiere every Friday.
Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian features interviews with cast, crew, and the production team, plus extensive behind-the-scenes footage and previously unseen material.
The series includes roundtable discussions hosted by Jon Favreau, who serves as director, writer, and producer of The Mandalorian. Favreau describes the series as an opportunity for fans to gain a fresh perspective and deeper understanding of how the show was created.
…opportunity for fans of the show to take a look inside and get to see a different perspective, and perhaps a greater understanding, of how The Mandalorian came together.

One major focus of the docuseries is special effects. If you enjoy seeing how movie magic is made, you’ll appreciate detailed looks at the effects and prop teams and the techniques they used to bring characters to life—including Baby Yoda.
Episodes will also explore George Lucas’ legacy, the show’s musical score, the technology that powered production, and how these elements connect to the wider Star Wars universe and its characters.
For those wondering about season two of The Mandalorian: filming wrapped before production was halted due to the pandemic. There’s no official word that the documentary’s release has been delayed; it’s expected to arrive on Disney+ in October.
The documentary series will premiere on May 4th—Star Wars Day—and then release a new episode every Friday. May the 4th be with you!
