Matt Singer on The Mandalorian and Grogu –

The movie’s set pieces are a little grander than the ones The Mandalorian typically produced for Disney+; AT-ATs look even more imposing in the boxy IMAX frame. Otherwise, the feature recreates the episodic vibe of the show’s first season. The Mandalorian and Grogu is a straightforward adventure with almost no character development and little to discover below its handsome surface. Even the two-act structure (complete with a cliffhanger right around the one-hour mark), suggests it could have been rejiggered from a pair of scripts for the never-made fourth season of The Mandalorian.

Which is exactly why I’m not spending time and money to see this in the theater.

Do I think it will wildly entertaining? Yes. It’s just not enough for me to go see it outside of my home.

It baffles me why they didn’t just make 7-10 seasons of good shows with this character. It doesn’t need a movie.
