The Mandalorian nominated for 15 Emmy Awards; Resistance nominated for Outstanding Children’s Program

Nominations for the 72nd Emmy Awards were announced today, and Star Wars is incredibly well represented!

Leading the way was the successful first season of The Mandalorian, which was the first-ever live-action Star Wars TV series, debuting on Disney+ at launch late last year. The show received an impressive 15 nominations, including for Outstanding Drama Series, and it received nominations for acting performances, music, visual effects, production design, cinematography, costumes, editing, makeup, stunt coordination, and sound mixing. A full list of the 15 nominations is listed at the end of the article. Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson serve as Executive Producers on the series.

But not to be forgotten was the second and final season of the animated series Resistance, which scored a nomination for Outstanding Children’s Program. The show had Brandon Auman, Athena Yvette Portillo, Dave Filoni, Justin Ridge, Sareana Sun, and Shuzo John Shiota as Executive Producers, with Daisy Fang and Jack Liang as Producers.

Regardless of how many of these nominations result in wins, it’s pretty impressive that Star Wars received a total of 16 Emmy nominations, and that both of the shows from 2020 that Lucasfilm put out received nominations for the best series in their respective areas (The Mandalorian for drama series and Resistance for children’s program). That’s just further proof that Lucasfilm is doing some tremendous work with Star Wars, and it’s cool seeing that all recognized with these nominations.

If you’re curious to see which awards the shows might win, the Emmy Awards ceremony will be broadcast on ABC on Sunday, September 20.
