Reactions are starting to hit the internet and the word is good, as a number of press outlets and reporters saw 27 minutes of clips from the first season. It appears that many of the scenes shown during The Mandalorian panel at Celebration Chicago were shown along with fuller scenes and universally the reaction is very, VERY positive.
Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau were in attendance, answering a number of questions from the panel and the press and the results of that discussion are hitting the net. First off, friend of the site Johnamarie Macias.
Highlights from #TheMandalorian press event (2/2):
– Filoni’s experience had a positive effect on the last episodes of #TheCloneWars.
– New directors (other than Weathers) couldn’t be announced during the junket.
– There’s a Life Day reference in the show.— Johnamarie Macias (@BlueJaigEyes) October 19, 2019
Next Steven Weintraub from Collider.

Saw 27 minutes of @themandalorian. It’s as awesome as you want it to be. Can’t say anything specific but one scene answered a question that I don’t think has ever been explained/shown in any @starwars movie. Love that it opens up the Star Wars universe in a cool new way. pic.twitter.com/vTxC427sVi

Also it looks as expensive as it is — they didn’t skimp with this one. Spaceships, creatures, etc all in full effect. Cannot wait for full episodes. #TheMandalorian

Oh wow THE MANDALORIAN footage looks incredible. We saw IG-88 attacking, we saw Salacious Crumb being barbecued for a meal. And Werner Herzog as some sort of galactic gangster who has his own team Stormtroopers

Stay tuned as good first reactions like this can only mean the internet is going to be buzzing with thoughts and reactions. Remember, a select number of countries around the world will be seeing the first episode on 12th November as Disney Plus launches, and everyone else will have to figure something out.
