    Other than the OT, it’s not hard to be on par with a mainline Star Wars movie. Even TLJ, which was the best of the ST, wasn’t that great. At least Mando+Grogu didn’t have the baggage of being “important”. Even if it was half baked I didn’t come out feeling like years of anticipation were for nothing. It was able to just be a fun if forgettable romp

      So I agree but I do take issue with “forgettable”. Grogu has huge character growth, ending with Din teaching him to drive, but also the complete 3rd act of Grogu taking care of Din. I’m not going to forget his whole adventure. While I’m confident this film is just an adaptation of a series, that whole “episode” felt uncut.

      Plus if this series wants to lean into it the death of the Twins is potentially huge. A direct assault by the New Republic against Nal Hutta, eliminating a whole family, and the one heir taking the side of the New Republic? That shifts things dramatically.

      I do agree the film overall is action heavy, so the lore is sparse by comparison, but the world did more forward. It’s forgettable, but only if the series going forward chooses to ignore it.
