The past year has brought some stranger-than-fiction things into our lives, which has led many to turn to genre fiction in an unprecedented way. Luckily, there have been quite a lot of major science fiction and fantasy series for fans to get lost in in the past year — something that was recently honored during the inaugural Critics Choice Super Awards. Star Wars: The Mandalorian took home the honor of Best Science Fiction/Fantasy Series, in a category that also included Outlander, Raised by Wolves, Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard, Upload, and What We Do in the Shadows.

The Mandalorian follows its titular gunslinger, Din Djarin/The Mandalorian (played by Pedro Pascal) on a quest across the Star Wars galaxy, as he tries to bring Grogu/The Child back to The Jedi. Given the critical and fan hype that surrounded The Mandalorian – particularly in its recently-wrapped second season, which saw the appearances of the likes of Cobb Vanth (Timothy Olyphant), Bo-Katan Kryse (Katee Sackhoff), Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson), and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill).
