The Mandalorian has been a huge success on Disney+, but one question that's been on our minds was: what is it like wearing all of that armour?
Digital Spy spoke with Emily Swallow – who plays the Armorer on the Star Wars TV series – and the star said that getting around in the armour provided some interesting challenges.
"I'm relieved to see that it looks a lot better than it felt," she laughed. "I hope at some point, they release a bloopers reel, because when you get a couple of Mandalorians in a room together in that armour and in those helmets, it can get ridiculous!

"You've no peripheral vision and you can't see down, so you're kind of wandering around in blind faith that you're not going to trip or run into somebody. And we discovered early on that every single movement is magnified because of how much focus the armour and the masks draw.
"So you can't really have any extraneous movement."
Swallow added: "I was glad that the Armorer is a very deliberate character and she moves slowly. It gave me time to kind of just breathe and settle and be very mindful of how I was moving, because a little bit of movement communicated a lot.
"I really hope at some point we get to see some of the behind-the-scenes stuff, because it was hilarious when we were trying to navigate the space together."

Swallow – known for playing Amara in Supernatural as well as roles in How to Get Away with Murder and SEAL Team – also shared that being on set felt special and recalled Star Wars creator George Lucas paying a visit one day.
"It was so cool just walking onto the set and seeing the incredible thoughtfulness that was put into every single set-piece and every single prop," she said. "All the weapons that my character uses were just created with such care.
"And it felt like everyone that was involved just had this incredible love and this incredible respect for the Star Wars universe.
"One of the first days I was on set, shooting the first episode, George Lucas actually came to visit. He was coming to surprise [The Mandalorian creator] Jon Favreau for his birthday. And everyone who was around that day just hung out for a while and listened to him tell stories.

"It really did feel like we were part of this incredible lineage of these beautiful and fantastical stories that he created decades ago and that persist because of the heart of them. There are so many characters in the Star Wars universe that we fell in love with and that keep drawing us back in.
"No matter what the technology, no matter what the new villains are, George Lucas really created something enduring. And so to be a part of that, it just made me giddy. It was so exciting."
The Mandalorian is available on Disney+. The streaming platform comes to the UK in March 2020.
