The Mandalorian Parents Guide
Rated TV-14 for sci-fi action and violence
Sex & Nudity
It's mentioned a male alien species is killed during 'mating'
A character makes a brief remark to The Mandalorian about visiting the "Twi'lek healing baths," although the offer is promptly ignored.
In chapter 6, characters make fun of a seemingly separated couples sexual relationship and make mild suggestive references. When they found out baby yoda was found in the mandalorians ship, one character remarked, "Did you two make this?". Other than that there's nothing else remotely inappropriate.
Violence & Gore
We see a man get cut in half. The action happens off screen, but his legs are seen briefly after it occurs
The more graphic violence is completely off screen or cleverly hidden.
Not very violent, but probably still a bit more violent than average Star Wars. There is no blood or gore, but some of the deaths are pretty brutal. These including being burned to death, being cut in half, a hammer being smashed into a stormtroopers face (all you see is helmet fragments flying through the air), lots on standard Star Wars blaster shooting.
The mandalorian has a rifle and shoots another man. The man is instantly disentigrated
Stormtroopers are shown with half-blasted off helmets as they lay dead. In another scene, the Mandalorian burns a Stormtrooper alive. We see the Stormtroopers burnt head afterwards. However, it is mostly covered by his helmet.
The Mandalorian kills a large animal by stabbing it in the neck. Nothing majorly graphic is shown
Carl Weather's character gets two giant gashes down his arm exposing muscle and blood but Yoda heals him and the wounds close. It's dimly lit so all we see is the cuts. Jawas are shown being disintegrated after being shot by The Mandalorian's rifle. Not graphic.
The Mandalorian stabs a Stormtrooper in the back with a knife. However, the view is shown from the front side and no blood is seen
In the beginning of Chapter 8, the scout troopers punch Baby Yoda for either biting their finger, or because he was squirming too much. This scene is either intense or comical depending on how you feel about it.
The Child force chokes a woman. She is saved however.
A man gets head trauma. Blood is seen on a woman's hand after she checks his wound.
Profanity
"Hell" is said 4 times. And the term "wise ass" is used once. "Bastard" used once.
Bastard is used once.
Pretty much no profanity
One use of the word s*** in the 6th episode.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
While trapped in a prison there is an alarm accompanied by strobing lights. This may affect photosensitive viewers. Since this is the story of a bounty hunter, there will be more violence than in the Star Wars movies.
Episode 1 - scenes of a sudden attack by the Mandalorian to the people in a bar. He kills them quickly with minimal violence.
Episode 1 - The Mandalorian and a Bounty Droid have an intense and sudden fight with some enemies near the end of the first episode. This is intense, but with no blood.
A child is aimed at by the sniper of a bounty hunter. While the bounty hunter misses and the child is unharmed this scene is still intense.
Kuill is killed by troopers at the end of episode 7. We see a shot of Baby Yoda laying on the ground, to be later picked up by a trooper on a speeder bike. Then we see a shot of Kuill's dead body lying face-down with his dead Bluurg lying beside him. The episode ends after that
A Scout-Trooper punches Baby Yoda. You hear Yoda scream.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Some of the Mandalorian's bounty transactions occur in a bar. Alcohol is mentioned
A character suggests to the protagonist that they should buy some "spice" (an implied drug in the star wars universe) and soon he'll have forgot everything that happened.
my personal opinion on what the show should be rated is TV-14 for sci-fi action and violence brief suggestive content implied drugs and brief language

Really awesome show that is a must watch for all Star Wars fans!
I want to start out by saying I am 19 years old and have experience with taking care of young children.
There is quite a bit of violence, as this show is Star Wars themed. If any parents have seen past Star Wars movies- the violence is about the same.
I think any child would enjoy this show, it’s not scary at all, and the violence is not gory in any way. As long as you have taught your kid that hitting is not okay, and explain the show is just pretend you’ll be in the clear.
Your child will most likely watch the show and be in awe with Grogu (The Child/“Baby Yoda”). I watched the Star Wars movies at a pretty young age, and the violence was no problem for me, however every child is different.

Amazing 5 star show, surprisingly violent for kids
This is a great TV show and truly describes the lone ranger feel. Commonsensemedia is so dumb to call this a 10+ just because it is a star wars title, Disney+ has rated it 14+ for a reason. in the first scene of the first series someone is cut in half from a closing door while another guy tries to stab Mando and he grabs the knife and twists it into his leg. commonsensemedia rates a game like Titanfall 2, 18+ because of use of guns and grenades age rating. This is a great TV show but kids younger than 14 might find it violent and might not appreciate an amazing show.

Baby Yoda Time
The Mandalorian is a great adventure show that the whole family can enjoy. There are some battles that may be too much for very young children, but I would say 7 and up would be fine to watch as the battles are very cartoonish in their nature. Nothing particularly scary to speak of and the bond between The Mandalorian and "The Child" Aka "Baby Yoda" is endearing and the little ones will for sure fall in love with Baby Yoda. There are quite a few adventures that are almost like an old western movie, and the soundtrack is amazing and quite fitting as well. To me this is way closer to the original Star Wars as it uses practical effects and puppets and the spirit of the original Star Wars. Definitely a show the whole family can enjoy.

Started well initially as a lone "man with no name" character but devolved into generic team player
I loved the initial early vibe of this series, tapping strongly into the Sergio Leone "Man with no name" series of western, but set in space. A lone bounty hunter collecting dangerous bounties. But the show sadly quickly devolved into the tired formula of generic Disney team-player buried beneath a crowd of other generic characters, with scenes of copious nostalgia bating. I hope they bring the show back to what it started out as.
