Din Djarin and Din Grogu are making Star Wars history in The Mandalorian, and it just might have saved the entire franchise. The Mandalorian first came onto the scene in 2019 as Star Wars' first live-action TV show. As such, it was a bit of a gamble. No one could have known for sure how a live-action TV show would perform – especially not one like The Mandalorian. This was because, unlike all other Star Wars movies and TV shows at the time, it didn't focus on the Jedi Order.
