I saw The Mandalorian and Grogu a week after opening. It was... fine. Filoni loves wolves and bringing characters in from his animation. Favreau likes to smash the action figures together. We got pretty much all of that, and I smiled more than I cringed, though to be clear I did both. Also, as much as I disagree with his "spectacle movies are without artistic merit" take, there was something kinda sad about hearing Scorsese voice a CGI alien in a franchise that -- although it lodged itself in my soul at the exact right moment to stay there forever -- is obviously past its prime.
