Watch even one episode of the short-lived but beloved Firefly and you'll see where The Mandalorian gets its post-war space-Western vibe from. In the aftermath of a failed rebellion against a galactic alliance, a group of misfits and ex-rebels scrape out a living on their ship, occasionally taking bounties and doing a little smuggling, all while staying away from evil agents seeking one of their own. It's full of the same kind of murky morality and found-family loyalty you love in The Mandalorian, but with a touch more snark.
