And The Mandalorian & Grogu is David Filoni fixing how badly Disney screwed up the brand.

It was definitely not intending to be Episode X, but it seems like most everyone who wanted to see it has already seen it.

    If we view this as a film for 8 - 12 year olds rather than 35 - 55 year olds how does it stack up? Sure the money it's making isn't in the big leagues but it's not a bad way to spend a few hours for a kid.

    I quite enjoyed the movie. It did feel a bit like they combined about 3 episodes into a movie, but to me it just highlights how nice the story telling of the series was flowing, because it didn't really feel drawn out. Considering an episode is about 40min, it works out reasonably well timing wise.

    There were some cool visuals, fun gags and some characters to recognize if you are familiar with the other Filoni TV shows. The story was quite alright, but enjoyable and could set up some more stuff to come.

    I also went to watch the movie with the Star Wars TCG group I am playing with, so we were 9 people that all quite enjoyed the movie. Just miffed that our cinema didn't have the promo cards xD
