How does Disney+ get Star Wars fans jazzed to celebrate May the 4th this year? This is the way.

Disney+ on Wednesday announced a new documentary series on the making of its Star Wars show The Mandalorian, which will appropriately be debuting on Star Wars Day: May 4th. There will apparently be quite a bit to delve into, as Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian will be eight episodes long, the same length as the actual series it's covering. After the premiere, new episodes will arrive on Fridays.
