The UK May Not Get Every Episode of the Mandalorian When Disney+ Launches

So The Mandalorian began its 'broadcast' schedule back in November when Disney+ first launched, with new episodes each week for the entirety of the series' eight episode run.

Leia Succeeded Where Luke Failed

The Skywalker bloodline is perhaps defined by a series of failures. Anakin’s attempts to protect Padmé brought about the rise of the Empire.
