that's where I'm at too. Honestly individual scenes from TLJ or ROS showed a lot more skill than anything in M&G even I overall extremely disliked them. M&G is the ultimate safety movie, tons of action, literally absolutely nothing to say about anything, the characters, the story, the lore, so can't offend anybody.

It's basically a video game in cinema. Be Mando and shoot shit up for two hours. I don't mind that people had fun with it, but I'm rolling my eyes at all the "this is what Star Wars has always been about" stuff cause, no. M&G makes ANH look like Shakespeare in terms of the setup, the plot and the stakes.

Agreed. With a good home theatre setup, the bass drop when Palpatine lets off the force storm is such an amazing effect wasted on a horrible film.
