a great read for anyone who is interested in the art and design choices of how the mandalorian came to be.

Amazing artwork showcased in this book with lots of insight to the series. Makes me want to watch the first season again.

I told my husband that I really liked the art work that showed at the end of each show of The Mandalorian and would like to have some of it. So, for Christmas he surprised me with this. It's a beautiful book and I've been reading through the stories of the production and the evolution of the ideas.

It’s an oversized collection of art from the best Star Wars production since Rebels, so yeah, it’s good.
I do wish they had included more ship designs and less stuff like the lava sewers. A couple pages of lava sewer is fine, thank you. No need for seven. There is one tiny picture of an alternate version of the ship from the prison escape episode that is as cool as anything in any Star Wars movie, but it’s just off to the side and too dark to make out detail. I’d much rather have a chapter on that stuff, to be frank.
But overall this is an excellent collection, with good behind the scenes info. The type is ludicrously tiny, though.

Great read for fans of the show looking for behind the scenes info and concepts. The art was beautiful and I loved how each reference or detail was explained. Only gripe I had was the introduction, which took a Disney timeline to the development of the mandalorians (ESB - Clone Wars) with no mention to any Old Republic or Legends materials. As a fan that bummed me out. However, this is still a cool book and a great addition to Star Wars concept art! Looking forward to season 2!

So many lovely spreads and a lot of nifty information regarding the design process of the characters and places that feature in the series.
Going to dive immediately into the S2 artbook now.
