Visual effects company Industrial Light & Magic developed the StageCraft technology for the series, using virtual sets and a 360-degree video wall to create the series' environments. This has since been adopted by other film and television productions.

The Mandalorian premiered with the launch of Disney+ on November 12, 2019. The eight-episode first season was met with positive reviews, was nominated for Outstanding Drama Series at the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards, and won seven Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards. A second season premiered on October 30, 2020, to positive reviews, and a third season is scheduled to premiere on March 1, 2023. A fourth season is in development.

History of the Mandalorians

This Is the Way
…but why?
 
From the Show
The first time we hear the iconic phrase is in Season 1 Episode 3: The Sin.  This occurs when Din Djarin meets with The Armorer and other members of their tribe.  This is also where the so called creed is first mentioned.  Din’s tribe lives and dies by the Creed, which at the time we meet them included the prohibition against removing their helmet in front of any living person, the obligation to win fights honorably, the need to stay hidden, and the prioritization of children.  Actions derived from following the Creed are punctuated by the declaration, "This is the Way."



The History of the Mandalorians (Canon)
True Canon Mandalorian history is hard to figure out.  It’s unknown what elements from previous novels, comics, and games will be folded into their history and background.
"Mandalorian isn't a race. It's a Creed." ―Cara Dune & Din Djarin
This is true today but the first Mandalorians did in fact originate from the planet Mandalore, an outer rim planet. The leader of the Mandalorians was known as the Mand'alor, translating to "Sole Ruler".   Years of war left the planet inhospitable, forcing the Mandalorians to live within domed cities.  In their past, the Mandalorians quickly expanded to take over their sector, and even tried to penetrate the galaxy's inner rim only stopping once the Jedi pushed back.
"When one chooses to walk The Way of the Mandalore, you are both hunter and prey. How can one be a coward if one chooses this way of life?" ―The Armorer
Wearing distinctive armor, they were feared throughout the galaxy, and had political influence over two thousand other star systems.
Due to civil war, Mandalore was split between those who sought a peaceful society and those who held on to their violent roots.
"We are the Death Watch, descendants of the true warrior faith all Mandalorians once knew. Now my people are living in exile because we will not abandon our heritage. Our people were warriors. Strong. Feared! Now they're ruled by the New Mandalorians who think that being a pacifist is a good thing. They've given away our honor and tradition for peace. Duchess Satine and her corrupt leadership are crushing our souls, destroying our identity. That is our struggle." ―Pre Vizsla
During most of the Clone Wars, Mandalore was led by Duchess Satine Kryze. Near the end of the war, she was overthrown and killed by Maul and his Shadow Collective which established former Prime Minister Almec as the face of Maul's rule. After the Siege of Mandalore and the Imperial occupation that followed the end of the Clone Wars, Gar Saxon led the planet as Viceroy for the Empire until his death. His brother Tiber Saxon succeeded him as Governor until his death.
 
The History of the Mandalorians (LEGEND)
This info is currently categorized as “Legends” and therefore non-canon.  However a few items of note are worth mentioning as elements of them have been referenced in The Mandalorian.
According to legends, The first Mandalorians were decended from the Taung, an ancient species of Humanoid simians indigenous to the galactic Core World of Coruscant.  The Taungs were warriors from youth, and viewed battle as a source of honor both for the individual and their gods.
Taung society was nomadic and clan-based. Veterans of successful campaigns were honored, and looked upon with reverence. These battle-tested elders became chieftains, de facto leaders of their clan and community; higher authority came only from the Mand'alor, a title that meant "Sole Ruler" in the Taung language, and a role that embodied a single leader of all the warrior clans.
Eventually, after hundereds or years of war, The Taung were driven from Coruscant and fled to the outer rim of the galaxy.  Their leader, Mandalore the First, found another planet in the Outer Rim—a world of multiple ecosystems, uninhabited by intelligent life, and dominated only by a race of non-sentient creatures of colossal size known as mythosaurs—and claimed this new planet as their own.

Star Wars the Clone Wars Season 7 Episode 12 Spoiler Filled Breakdown and Review


Episode 12 Victory and Death

As Ahsoka and Rex try to escape from the cruiser, Maul destroys its hyperdrive with the Force and causes the vessel to drop out of hyperspace and into a moon's gravitational field. Forced to fight their way through the clones, Ahsoka tries to prevent Maul from getting away, but she fails and Maul vanishes into hyperspace. Just barely clearing the doomed ship in a Y-wing, Ahsoka and Rex escape to the moon, where they respectfully bury the clones and Ahsoka discards one of her lightsabers. Years later, Darth Vader arrives on the moon and recovers Ahsoka's lightsaber. He looks up and sees a convor circling overhead. The series ends with an image of Vader walking away reflected in the visor of an old trooper helmet sticking out of the snow.
 Star Wars: The Clone Wars ran from October 3, 2008 until its final regular broadcast episode on March 2, 2013, following the show's cancellation at the end of its fifth season. A half-length season was available on Netflix on March 7, 2014, and some story arcs were released in several different mediums in the following years.

Episode 11 Shattered

With the Siege of Mandalore over, Ahsoka and Rex prepare to take Maul, who has been placed in heavy restraints, before the Jedi Council on Coruscant. Mace Windu and Yoda contact Ahsoka via hologram and reveal that Obi-Wan has tracked Grievous down to Utapau, indicating that the war may soon be over. On their way to Coruscant, however, Ahsoka senses Anakin's fall to the dark side, moments before Darth Sidious issues Order 66, branding all Jedi as traitors to the Republic and causing Ahsoka's clone troopers, including Rex, to turn on her. She escapes and manages to subdue Rex and free Maul to distract the other clones. With the help of three astromech droids, Ahsoka then discovers and removes the chip from Rex's brain, restoring his free will.
