The Mandalorian was a revelation for Star Wars fans. It combined all the favorite things we love from Star Wars into one package. It had the serial storytelling, interesting characters, amazing visual effects, and of course, The Child.
Hopefully that means that the show will be rewarded on Emmy night with some wins in the 15 categories that it was nominated in. Here’s the full list of nominations for the outstanding show.

Why This Is Important To Get Nominated For An Emmy
You might be sitting there asking yourself, “who cares about awards?”. Well, normally awards season is a joke and doesn’t matter. But in The Mandalorian‘s case, this is important. It shows that the show not only crossed the Rubicon into Star Wars fans hearts. The show was a hit critically as well. All the people that went into making The Mandalorian into what it was, deserve recognition. Remember all the amazing moments from the show. It was nearly (or in my opinion, a perfect) season of television.
All of this boils together into a nomination for Best Drama Series. Normally you’d expect something like this to blow up the nominations for visual and sound effects. It makes sense, it’s a sci-fi show that has great effects. You can read more about the tech and effects used on the show, here. Getting nominations for acting, voice-over work, and best overall Drama is another story. No matter what you think of Award Season, this is a huge deal for The Mandalorian. It’s a final cherry on top of a hugely successful first season of the show. It means that they’ll have a lot to live up to with season two which is coming later this Fall to Disney+.
