The plot of The Mandalorian’s premiere episode is very simple. A bounty hunter catches an escaped criminal and returns him to his boss. Dissatisfied with the middling jobs on offer, he agrees to take a mysterious commission from an enigmatic figure. He dons his armor and mounts his horse—or bluurg (blerg? blurgh?), as the case may be—and takes off across the desert. After a gunfight, he locates his target. Even the title of the episode is straightforward: It’s simply called “Chapter One.”
