Why are The Mandalorian episodes so short on Disney Plus?
today, its premium, live-action Star Wars show that is attracting good buzz and reviews from fans and critics alike. It will start premiering on Fridays for its eight episode, first season run, but if you go to play it today, you’ll notice something kind of strange.
It has a 32 minute runtime. That would be short as it is, and yet when you cut out the “previously on” scenes and four minutes of credits, the total runtime for today’s episode,strange when the premiere episode said it was 40 minutes long, really just 36 minutes without credits. But 40 minutes is at least somewhat close to the 42-44 minutes you’d get in an hourlong network drama once you strip out commercials.
But today’s episode now has me and many other fans wondering if the entire series is going to be like this, if in addition to getting only eight episode for a season, if we’re going to be getting sub-30 minute episodes meaning the runtime of the entire first season is going to be something like 4-4.5 hours, at most.
I have heard some people saying that this may just be the first two episodes which are debuting as “1A and 1B” since they’re both coming out the same week, and maybe they’re just two halves of one whole, which would give us an hour-long episode in total. And yet if you’ve watched both episodes , you can see pretty clearly that they are self-contained stories with clear endpoints and arcs contained within them, complete with two different directors. This is not a single episode split in half.
