The Mandalorian and Grogu

First Star Wars film in 6 and a half years… and it’s a three episode arc of the TV show that killed the franchise in the first place, well, along with the arrival of Disney +.

There’s honestly nothing of note to this film, it’s genuinely like binge watching 3/4 episodes of the show - which I would never have done at the best of times. The plot is basic, and never gives anything to warrant the film’s existence, if you were holding out for a “hidden plot” - you’ll be disappointed. Ludwig Göransson’s score is really quite good and I wouldn’t be mad if he’s the new John Williams for the franchise going forward.

Probably the most woeful cast list of all the Star Wars films, it was almost funny as the opening credits showed and it was just a bunch of no-names. Pedro does some fine voice work - as we know it’s not really him for 90% of it. Sigourney Weaver most likely shot her scenes in a single day. Why bother casting Jeremy Allen White, just to change his voice entirely. Bizarre stuff.

I’m impressed that Disney managed to make a film somehow worse than Rise of Skywalker. Perhaps not by the potential that film had, as The Mandalorian and Grogu didn’t really have any, but rather just how dull and weak it truly is.

This is the way mf

slop wars: the foid and chud

Lovely addition to the franchise but paced like a tv show rather than a movie. Would’ve preferred to watch this on my sofa over the course of an afternoon

It’s okay. It’s watching the tv show on screen. Decent. Some stupid crap with the non fan toy magnet. Some cool fights. Horrible effects with the giant robots. It is what you would expect…..on tv.

I genuinely missed the Mandalorian sm and this movie made up for it 🥹. It was so perfect!
