    Not a huge fan of Star Wars movies, but I liked the movie. One of the better ones IMHO.

    But: I had no idea it was out. I missed every single piece of marketing or announcement. If it weren’t for a friend who spontaneously invited me, this post would be the first time I heard of the movie.

    So just saying: might be the marketing was shit? Cause the movie ain’t. Or nobody has money for movies, sure, not denying the economy is in shambles.

      Literally every review I’ve seen has said the movie is mediocre at best. Like 3 television episodes stiched together poorly. It’s 100% not the marketing, it’s the fact that the movie is bad and it’s evident from even the trailers.

      If it had been a 1.5 hour long Mando being a cool bounty hunter movie unattached to the greater arcs and characters, id have gone in a heart beat. But instead their show has only served to make Mando less cool, more reliant on merchandisable creatures like grogu, and more attached to the main arcs which have been handled terribly. Idk man, it’s just clearly a bad film.

        Agree to disagree I guess. Besides Andor, the Mandalorian is probably best sub-franchise they have released in recent years and the movie being a long episode isn’t really a bad thing.

        And I disagree he became weaker. The little help he gets from Grogu doesn’t take away from his awesomeness.
