What IMDb Staff Are Thankful for This Year4 of 28
"The Mandalorian" | Available to Stream on Disney Plus
"The Mandalorian" Season 1 premiered a couple days after I laid my father to rest. Much of the time, I saw my dad as the cowboy archetype — cool, quiet, and calculating — not unlike Pedro Pascal’s character. I grew up watching Akira Kurosawa and Sergio Leone films with him, and with "The Mandalorian," there’s familiar samurai and western storytelling elements that bring me back to those times watching movies with him. The debut of "The Mandalorian" Season 2 brings with it a lot of personal reflection and comfort this time of year. I think dad would have really loved it. — John
