The breakout Disney+ series “The Mandalorian” had die-hard “Star Wars” fans and fandom rookies alike clamoring for a subscription to the new streaming platform late last year. Now, the show is a cult favorite and infinitely meme-able, thanks to its compelling characters, namely The Child, a beloved creature also known colloquially as Baby Yoda. But the deep glassy brown of The Child’s eyes and the action-packed plot are not the only draws of the show, or the “Star Wars” universe at large. A big part of the series’ allure is its world-building, and the unique landscapes that define each piece of the story. “The Mandalorian” takes advantage of the world George Lucas built and explores new horizons across the galaxy.<\/p>\n
The design of “Star Wars” and “The Mandalorian” may appear futuristic, but the events take place “A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…” as the iconic opening scroll tells us. Design firm Oppenheim Architecture<\/a>’s projects echo the space odyssey’s otherworldly structures with a link to the past. “In a funny way, what informs these new, future-focused designs are the form and function of architecture from the past,” says founder Chad Oppenheim. “Looking at the most basic methods of architecture as a craft—imagining how civilizations sprouted from the earth in which they were founded—and envisioning buildings that use nature to carve out space, a view, a way of life.” Here, Interior Design<\/em> takes a closer look at some of Oppenheim’s projects with parallels to “The Mandalorian.”<\/p>\n Editor’s note: This story contains spoilers for Season 2 of “The Mandalorian.” <\/em><\/p>\n
