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

honestly don’t understand the hate.

i truly had a blast watching grogu & mando take on the hutts.

it’s very action packed. like way more than i had anticipated. it start us off with mando blowing up three ATAT’s.

when the dragon snake came out of the pit to eat mando i was geeked out of my mind.

beautiful cinematography. honestly better than the show imo, i think bc i watched it in IMAX.

so glad i didn’t watch the trailers bc i went into this blind. yes i watched the entire 3 szns of mando and yes i loved it.

i knew i recognized the voice of ardennian. no one else but the goat mr. scorsese

good plot or not, it was adorable to watch grugu fight and use the force more than he ever has.

him meditating to the force made me fucking smile.

fuck the haters. this was a great film.

9.2 / 10

6.5/10 - fun and entertaining but this didn’t need to be a movie in my opinion. Overall felt like 2-3 episodes of the show instead of a movie. Could have made for a good season of the show instead

Funny characters and good father son dynamic. But the whole movie felt like it was ai generated or a cutscene in a video game due to how much cgi there was

fun popcorn watch
