Itʻs a movie that continued to build on Favreauʻs basic idea behind The Mandalorian: itʻs the story a little brother comes up with when his big brother has taken all the main Star Wars action figures to play with his friends and left the little brother with all of the random aliens Kenner stuck in a blister card (but somehow the kid has a Boba Fett and Yoda). It really feels like the way I played as a kid, where Iʻd supplement my Star Wars figures with GI Joe and make stuff up. This film sometimes looks like a kid grabbed some Warhammer miniatures and flew them around with die-cast Star Wars miniatures, etc. Itʻs awesome when viewed in that light and not from some self-serious mindset that treats Star Wars as akin to a religious text.

I haven't seen it yet, but this is my expectation too. Just a fun movie that has characters I like. Nothing earth shattering.

Agreed I didn't rush out to see it in theaters but have heard it described as just a longer episode of the show. I enjoyed the show but would expect a bit more out of this movie than 'just more of the same' but oh well. Gonna stream it eventually.

nothing of note happens in the whole movie. no character development, no growth, no conflict with any serious stakes, no meaningful change to any character or faction. it was the most boring snoozefest movie ive watched in a long time. it wasnt even entertaining as a string of meaningless action set pieces because the action was such bland nothing. im honestly kind of offended youre claiming you enjoyed it. did the flashing lights give you the feel good chemicals, or did you just like seeing the cute baby move around some more? disney would really like to know.
