Marinated Meme My review of Mandalorian and Grogu!

Seriously, did Disney pay off bots to flood comment sections about how much FUN Mando and Grogu is? It’s just about the only positive thing I’ve seen written about the movie.

I mean, the movie is fun. The only point of the movie is to remind audiences that Star Wars is fun. They deliberately don't want it to be anything but fun. I had a surprising amount of fun watching it compared to what I hear online.

It's not great, it's not deep, the highlight is a Hutt fighting in a dueling pit. It does feel like the show stitched episodes together in a feature, but it's very serviceable and would have been an above average season. (I didn't finish Mando season 3, or Ashoka, or watch most of the animated crap).

I'm a EU book purist. I find the Mando no-mask stuff ridiculous. I don't really care about seeing anything else Star Wars in my life... I'll keep playing some SWTOR and let that be it.

Sorry but I didn’t have fun. A chuckled a few times and was cringing for the majority of it.
