The Mandalorian & Grogu (2026)

Pretty much. Season 4 was to be a massive course correction for the franchise.

It was okay, it's not some movie I'd watch again though, because I think it felt so much overproduced I'd rather slip into coma than having to deal with Disney writing again.

It's decent Season 1 and 2 slop, albeit hyperviolent at times. Biggest issue is the time for it has passed and the franchise is sullied by what Season 3 became.

There's a little glimmer of memba mando berries nostalgia-- thinking of it now, the feeling is hardly more bitter.

I dunno, after watching it a second time. I still enjoyed this. I think it needed to have a more grand scale to it, but there was a lot of story from past shows that was expanded on.

Yea, I feel like I'll probably think this is okay, but watching it will make me remember season 3, which will make me mad. With mando the screaming girl power harpies had to ruin something good. Easily the worst season of star wars other than acolyte.... and acolyte was at least comically bad as it pissed all over the franchise, s3 was just boring bad.

Favreau has never been shy to apologize to fans, publicly or otherwise ala the Boba Fett mea culpa he wrote. This was an apology, but to what end, we don't know. If there was another upcoming project to pair better with it'd carry a lot more weight. It has some tie-ins but not enough.

finally watched it, guess better than the last season, but just seemed very lazy. grogu just seems badly done especially when using his hands. seen better articulation with grade school projects


as a kid i loved the at-at and on holth they had a propose. just seemed dumb to have them there. we need to get out of here, lets use the clunkiest vehicle in the empire with the top speed of a bicycle why didn't he just jump in the flyer thing to start with

It's like Rocky but with a giant terrible CGI slug.

Season 4.5

rewatched mando s1 & s2 before watching this on vacation. It was better than I expected, I thought it was gonna be worse than season 3 and it wasn't.

a swole hutt is stupid as hell, as was the 15 minutes of the movie where Grogu becomes an 80s action star but maybe kids will like that shit, I dunno. The movie had a lot of strong Return of the Jedi vibes (Nal Hutta reminded me of Endor) and I liked the boss monster fights. All in all you could definitely tell it was an outline of a TV season converted into a movie but it was fine to watch at home.

Didn't really expand the lore/story in any way and felt like a weird one off adventure. It will be funny if this is the last time we ever see these 2 characters, there is zero character growth in this movie.

Some of the CGI was wonky, I honestly couldn't tell if it was a tribute to the 70s stop motion claymation movies (Clash of the Titans) or if it was just shitty CGI lol. Not sure why Sigorney Weaver is in this movie, and a few times Filoni makes a smug cameo as a x-wing pilot.

streaming now on D+

Watched this yesterday with some friends. It was basically just 2-3 episodes of the show pushed together into a movie. The first half was entertaining and the rest was meh.
My friends thought it was a straight to D+ release and didn't even realize it was in theaters. It was entertaining enough, but I'll most likely never watch it again.
