I feel like a lot of people didn't even know,

but a new Star Wars movie just came out today.

First one to hit the big screen in,

I think it's seven years since the last one,

I can't fully recall, but it's been a while.

And it's Mandalorian and Grogu.

I feel like there wasn't a ton of hype around it.

I haven't seen a whole lot of buzz or a lot of people,

you know, biting at their nails,

scratching at their neck, waiting at their fix of Star Wars in the cinema.

which if you had told me even just a decade ago

that would ever be the case I'd call you crazy spit in your mouth

and then slap your bottom

and tell you you filthy animal get out get out of here you're you're crazy

but here we are a lot of people are really tuned

out of Star Wars uh myself included The Mandalorian I never

even finished season three I just slowly lost interest in it and never finish the series.

Andor, I can't stop glazing.

I'm constantly just fucking gobbling the goodness that Andor has served up in preaching the gospel,

but Star Wars just hasn't had a whole lot of oomph to it in a while,

so I guess Mandalorian

and Grogu has just been one of those things where people just didn't even really keep tabs on it.

I guess we'll see how it performs in the box office though.

Anyway, I just saw it and it's all right.

I didn't dislike it as much as a lot of other people seem to.

It is truly a simple adventure that you can't think hard about because if you do,

a lot of it falls apart.

And really the biggest thing about it is it doesn't feel like I watched a movie.

It feels like I watched maybe four episodes of a Mandalorian season

that were squashed together without being broken up over the course of four weeks.

I just don't feel like this justified its existence as a movie.

It feels like a tiny little arc that would have unfolded episodically.

So take for that what you will.

Maybe that's exactly what you want,

but for me, I would want like something that feels like a spectacle.

Something that feels like it justifies its existence in this medium as opposed to just being part of the TV show.

And maybe that was like a strategic decision

because they knew there'd be a lot more like hype around

it as opposed to just being like part of season four of The Mandalorian or something.

I don't really know.

But it really does feel that way where it's just a handful of episodes.

Something I want to make a mention of,

I saw this film in something called Screen X,

which I'd never heard of in my life,

but it was just the most convenient time for the film,

and it happened to be Screen X.

It was fucking expensive.

Holy Toledo.

Movie tickets are already pricey,

but seeing it in Screen X, wow.

And the experience was cool, I guess.

So what it was, was you have like a big screen,

normal big theater screen,

but the walls outside of the theater screen like around the auditorium are also a screen too

so it's supposed to be more immersive

so what you're seeing on screen also expands out onto the sides

but in a way where it feels like like in VR

right where like in VR out of your peripheral vision you

can see more of the scene playing out in front of

you that's what it was like in ScreenX where like there

was more happening on the sides nothing important obviously all of that's still on the main screen but like you could see,

you know, more of the landscape,

more of like the characters idly on the side,

like doing stuff or working.

Like it was interesting.

Would I ever pay that much again to go see something in Screen X?

Probably not, but I do think it was a pretty,

I don't know, fun novelty, I suppose.

It did help elevate a couple of things.

Anyway though, let's dive into a bit of the spaghetti meatballs here.

There's going to be spoilers, spoiler warning.

The Mandalorian and Grogu follows an adventure where Mandalorian is just a fucking one-man army

and he's taking scalp and he's working with the good guys now.

Sigourney Weaver's in here, but I don't even know if she knew she was in the movie.

It really feels like she didn't try at all,

especially at the end where she's like the hero saving the day.

She delivers her lines like she's falling asleep and is actually annoyed to even be a part of the production.

I don't know why they wouldn't just ask her to like maybe put a little more gusto in there,

but it seemed like she didn't want to be there at all.

Everyone else seemed to be having a good time and,

like, trying, but for some reason, she seemed miserable.

I just wanted to make a mention of that.

But anyway, Mando's now working with the good guys.

Of course, him and Grogu are a tag team.

They also have their pilot,

their right-hand man, and they go out there and beat the bad guys.

They're shooting and shitting, and,

you know, it's fun, actually.

I like the action.

There's a lot of action here, and it's good.

they get a new mission they got a new target they've got something

that they have to do with the twins the huts they are big crime syndicate they contact the good guys

and in exchange for some information on a big ex-imperial figure

they agree to have mando temporarily like work with them the Hutts,

to get Rod of the Hut,

their nephew, the twins' nephew.

So that leads us to the meat and potatoes of this,

where he goes to this new world and finds Rod of the Hut,

and he's yoked, this guy's fucking juiced to the gills,

100

and he's fighting in the pits,

101

and Mando has to try and rescue him,

102

but he doesn't want to be rescued.

103

Turns out he doesn't want to be anything like his father.

104

The fact that he reminds you of,

105

like, fucking four times throughout the film,

106

He's like, I don't want to be like Dad.

107

I know I'm the son of Jabba the Hutt, but I hate that.

108

And I hate him, and I'm not like him.

109

I like when they cheer for me.

110

Did you know they cheer for me?

111

I like when they cheer for me.

112

I like when they cheer for me, Mando.

113

So no, I don't need rescuing.

114

Ultimately, he needs rescuing.

115

He is under contract with the target that the Hutts were going to tell the good guys about,

116

but Mando ends up getting that information anyway.

117

so then he gets the the target brings him back

118

and this ends up with like the huts believing they've been betrayed by him

119

so then they hunt down mando getting a bounty hunter on

120

his ass who outplays him fucking checkmates him separates him from

121

grogu also captures rod of the hut he is being tortured

122

and i'm sure i don't need to recap everything

123

that happens you could probably piece together the the breadcrumbs here

124

on where it where it goes there's there's no big surprises here

125

or anything now the thing is

126

when you start like actually thinking about what's unfolding it's pretty

127

fucking nonsensical also Mando gets knocked out like he goes unconscious

128

I think five times unironically I think it's five times once with gas

129

when he was trying to save Rada

130

and Rada's like I don't want to be saved you're not listening so then gas comes out knocks him out

131

once

132

when he gets electrocuted by uh the bounty hunter the first

133

time outside of his outside of his house after he has

134

uh grogu as well as like some some like babu fink characters i don't know what the what those aliens are called,

135

but they're, like, basically this movie's equivalent to the fucking minions.

136

They just have, like, high-pitched voices going,

137

like, we gotta go this way,

138

then we go that way,

139

then we go that way, that kind of stuff.

140

So he got knocked out there when the bounty hunter got him there.

141

He then woke up on the ship to have a couple of words with the bounty hunter,

142

got knocked out again,

143

and then he got knocked out one more time after being poisoned by the creature under the hut's lair

144

when they captured him.

145

But I also think there was one more that I'm forgetting.

146

So he spends a good chunk of this movie unconscious,

147

which is, you know, makes me question,

148

is he really the most,

149

like, elite bounty hunter there is?

150

You know what I mean?

151

He keeps falling for it over and over again.

152

It's like, they keep getting him with the pull my finger gag.

153

Also, I just looked it up.

154

Babu Frick.

155

They're Anzelins or something like that.

156

Sorry I butchered the name,

157

but it's hard to remember every new glup shito that's been been hitting the Disney Star Wars circuit.

158

But yeah, they get into the Megamix here because he was,

159

you know, consulting them, commissioning them to fix his ship.

160

Anyway, not important.

161

Point is, when you start like actually looking at the scenes and thinking about them,

162

it completely falls apart.

163

For example, Grogu has the Force,

164

and there are so many times where him using the force would have been unbelievably helpful

165

but he just doesn't he uses it to like get some food sometimes

166

and at the end of the movie he gets it to like pick up rada at a very important moment

167

so that was a good time to use the force

168

but you also then have to ask yourself well why didn't he do

169

that numerous other times

170

when it really would have fucking put the kibosh on some

171

problems they were experiencing another thing the twins the huts they're fucking idiots

172

and they're not like meant to be idiots they're supposed to be like scary intimidating bad guys

173

but like when they have the mandalorian

174

when they have mando captured they drop them into this pit

175

with like a bunch of the aqua soldier aliens one thing

176

i will be giving a big compliment to the two though

177

is the amount of aliens you see i think that's really hype i always like seeing star wars

178

when it's just throwing a bunch of cool new aliens at you

179

or like bringing aliens from way back in the day into the fold again.

180

I think that's cool.

181

It reminds you that it's more than just the same shit we've seen a million times.

182

I like that.

183

So that's actually a compliment I give it.

184

These alien swimming guys that have spears, that was cool.

185

They're space Atlanteans or whatever.

186

Mando starts disposing of them.

187

Then there's a giant dragon that pops out,

188

this huge leviathan sea snake.

189

And for some reason, the Hutts let Mando keep all of his armor on, basically impervious armor.

190

They let him keep that for some reason.

191

I don't know why they're letting him stay with his full fucking loadout.

192

They take his helmet off,

193

which is of course a big no-no.

194

That's a disgrace to Mandalorians.

195

And then when he's dropped into the pit,

196

he doesn't have his helmet.

197

But then they give him his helmet.

198

They just say, here's your reward because you entertained us.

199

You made us go ha-ha.

200

So they drop his helmet in there,

201

which obviously gives him the edge.

202

It helps get him back on his feet and be able to fight this monster.

203

Why did they do that?

204

They even made a point of saying how priceless

205

that helmet is on the black market

206

and presumably his armor too why let him keep

207

that why keep doing that and it's not like they're honorable

208

or something like that's never been something expressed like it just made no sense the reason is

209

because this is the mandalorian he's gotta have his armor he's gotta have his helmet

210

so they just lazily have them do that inexplicably.

211

And then Grogu and the Anzalans,

212

they somehow were able to find Mando at the twins' lair.

213

Convenient that they found him there

214

and then they blew it up like blew up the the the pipe there

215

so that way Mando could escape but he did get hit by the Leviathan

216

which poisoned him which was killing him and then he passes out

217

and Grogu then goes on his own solo adventure where now

218

he has to fend for himself without Mando being there which was kind of cool to see

219

And another thing I really like is the puppetry.

220

I like that it's not just CGI.

221

I said that from the very beginning with Baby Yoda.

222

I think that's very cool.

223

And they do have that as well with the mechanics,

224

the Anzolans that travel with them and became a pretty important piece of this film.

225

They look cool.

226

now when grogu's doing his own thing he heals well he closes up mando's wound with the force

227

which i don't again i didn't i didn't finish season three i don't know

228

when grogu got force healing maybe it was in seasons one

229

and two and i forgot at some point i i really don't know

230

but it doesn't instantly save him it doesn't just revive him give him the fucking chug jug or anything,

231

which is good.

232

But how he does revive him is in this desolate area,

233

devoid of life, he happens across an alien catfish guy who's fishing.

234

And so Grogu starts stealing his fish.

235

And then the catfish guy decides to,

236

for some reason, like put his ass on the line,

237

protecting the little guy.

238

So the bounty hunter ends up at this guy's house asking about the Mandalorian and exposition dropping,

239

just fucking lore dumping everything about what's been going on.

240

So now this catfish alien has the whole scoop and he's like,

241

so he got bit by that Leviathan dragon snake thing.

242

Yeah.

243

That's poison.

244

You know, he's probably going to die from it,

245

but here, I'm going to whip him up the antidote real quick.

246

Now you give them this,

247

it might be too late,

248

but we got to try, right?

249

So this guy in the middle of nowhere just happens to also have the antidote

250

and all of the supplies needed to make it on hand

251

gives it to grogu again a creature he has no knowledge of it all no reason to help

252

or anything and then he goes and gives it to mando

253

which saves him like there's plenty of things like

254

that where it's just so extraordinarily convenient

255

and nonsensical how we're going from point a to point b

256

which i can suspend disbelief fun because this really feels like a film

257

that was just meant to be like fun and nothing else.

258

And I think if that's the goal, it did succeed.

259

I was entertained, but there's nothing about this film that convinced me it's more than just a few episodes stitched together.

260

I don't know.

261

I didn't hate it.

262

It was fine.

263

If you're willing to just go in there and not think

264

and just have some fun watching Mando and Grogu and a couple of pals beat up some aliens,

265

beat up some bad guys,

266

shoot some guys, and that's really it.

267

But I imagine a lot of people,

268

especially like with the current state of Star Wars,

269

were probably hoping for something with a bit more substance because it has fallen out of like the cultural impact.

270

Again, this is a new Star Wars film that I think a lot of people didn't even know was on the horizon.

271

So I don't think Mando and Grogu is the one to really like bust it wide open again,

272

like Star Wars is back,

273

baby, or anything like that.

274

That to me was Andor.

275

Andor, I think, is the best Star Wars thing we've gotten in a long,

276

long, long, long time.

277

It is an incredible show.

278

This is just fine if you've got a couple hours,

279

you don't mind, you know,

280

sitting there and watching some action and eating popcorn and going into a bit of autopilot mode for it.

281

That's really about it.

282

See ya.
