Disney needs “The Mandalorian” now more than ever

After a disastrous year and with more rough terrain ahead, Disney really needs The Mandalorian to keep leading the way. The second season of the hit Star Wars series premiered on Disney’s streaming service, Disney+, today—and the early returns suggest it will be another success. Disney has not divulged how many subscribers stream the show, though it was largely credited with helping to sign up nearly 30 million customers in the service’s first three months.
