Proving that these Disney+ TV shows really are making use of movie-quality visual effects, this opening episode of The Mandalorian pits Din Djarin, Cobb Vanth, and the combined forces of the Tusken Raiders and Mos Pelgo against the massive Krayt Draon.

However, if the beast is familiar, it's because this isn't the first time one has made its presence felt on Tatooine. They've shown up in video games and animated TV shows, while a skeleton belonging to one of them factored into A New Hope's introductory scene on Tatooine.

This beast is in equal parts terrifying and massive, though, and is only defeated when Din allows it to "eat" him. Stunning it from the inside, he manages to make his escape before blowing it up, and it's a great visual from what stands out as The Mandalorian's biggest episode to date.
